Hi

Also a 475 paper based. Sent late Nov, receipt ack with file ref 7 Dec. Now the waiting game. It's very confusing that some people who applied ages before have only just had their receipt etc. It would be interesting to hear how many applications flooded the system in Aug/Sept as clearly the impact has been great.

hi jane
Alot of people applied on the old system which changed as of the 1st sept, Thats why there was a lot to get through a big rush in July and August because some of the points changed. Any one who applied pre Sept got caught in the back log and post Sept applications started very slow but they are starting to catch up.
