Dear Forums,

I just got word from my MP that even though all the work has been done, that my background check is still pending.

It was a bit surprising since they have been working on my file for a while.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Problem is that my current work visa expires in three weeks.

I've had this job for 3 years and i'd hate to lose it two weeks before i become permanent.

It depends, they are currently not hiring new staff and are downsizing left and right.

It would be a great excuse!
