Another November applicant has a visa! It's like the COs all came back from the training course and started work again. maybe the 1st July thing was a red herring?

Nic keep positive it will go through ![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
We rang and got through today and the girl said that we should know something in 6 to 8 weeks at the moment but to ring back after the first of July when the new system is running as that could all change she said we wont be waiting that long
I think that good news any way the changes coming in to effect are only for online visas as well
so how is every one doing we were talking to family back home seems they are predicting a recession by Christmas. My friend works in a call center taking calls on broad band and they have reduced her hours so that is not good think we may have left at the right time any way

I am staying as positive as I can - the person buying our house can't get another house like this which meets his needs and we are giving him a good deal. So it should go through.

Thanks for sharing the info from your phone call. You are an angel.

I agree, the UK is heading for a recession - mainly because people are talking themselves into it. Silly idiots. We are very pleased to be leaving too.
I have some more good news - have put the last business property with a holiday company who will run it for us. I 'just' have to fully furnish and equip it in 3 weeks.

Hi All,
I am one of the Jan,08 applicants (paper based). The only method that i know to get the status is to send the email to [email protected] and wait for the automated reply to tell me that processing status, and according to that they are not moving up quickly specially for paper based applications. Any idea how else can i know my application status?
Thanks and Regards.
