Trying to understand here.

So what is different then between you mestek who never even got started and ar2345md who somehow did get through.

I'd imagine you all hit those keyboards at the same time :confused:

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

i never even got to see the application form.

I was logged in and ready by around 9:30am NZT. From around 9:50 - 11:30am NZT i was trying to click the silver fern link and it would just stay stuck at connecting till it finally timed out and displayed an error message.

nothing seemed to help and finally when the page did load at 11:30am it displayed the quota full message.

so frustrated at how horrible the system is, don't they understand they are playing with peoples lives here.

why cant they make it similar to the SMC pool where 300 applications are randomly selected and then asked to complete the payment.

who do i need to complain to? and how do i reach them.

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

i assume a faster internet connection?

and by faster i mean latency and not bandwidth.

speedtest.net shows my ping values to servers in wellington at somewhere between 280ms - 440ms, and i never even got to see the form.

this banks on the assumption that the server would attempt to process faster connections first

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

i got the same status, what does that mean? and under payment it says pending also

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

I was logged on at around 7/8am NZT and at that time it already said the quota had been filled. I came back to my computer at around 9.30am NZT and somehow I had been logged out (or maybe I logged out accidentally). Anyway from that point the website was behaving really slowly. Took me forever to be able to log back on. Eventually I managed to log back on and was checking the Silver Fern link from not long after 10am NZT but couldn't even get through to the application form. Eventually, probably around 12 NZT it started taking me through to another page saying that the quota had already been filled.

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

I am frustrated with their website and I was just looking at the computer as a mad man, Finally around 4.00 PM I got the application form and after copleting it showed me as a Completed pending submission and the payment tab is also showing as pending...May I know do I still hold a chance to go through the payment option???? Please help me with this.....:fingerscrossed:

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

were you able to enter your credit card details and pay?
was any amount charged to your credit card?

if the amount was charged you got it. if not then no.

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
 

Unfortunately I was not able to enter the payment details page itself, after completing the form itself the status showed me as "completed pending submission " and the payment tab also shows as a pending.....Thanks for your reply...

Re: Silver Fern Visa 2014
