Saw the photos of your final FSW application pack. Mine was so big that I had trouble fitting it into the dropbox at the CHC in London!

I have followed previous posts and the Trackitt information but there does not yet appear to be much precedent information to assess the efficiency of the new system.

My own FSW application pack was received by the CIO on 17 June, 2009. As yet, I have heard nothing. It would be good to hear how other people are doing with applications submitted in say May and June this year.

Cheers

Quite concerned about people going on about the size of their 'package' :eek:

I'm starting to put mine together at the moment and feel i'm missing something.

Hope you get a responce soon

Just an update. My status at CHC has now been altered to say that CIO have sent 120 day letter. Think your status takes about a month to update

Should we be worried? Our application was sent to Sydney by tracked post and signed for on 22 July.

It seems to be the experience of most that the drafts are cashed fairly quickly even though the acknowledgement isn't sent for several weeks/months later.

What's the best way to contact Sydney, ie, email, phone etc?

Many thanks.
