it was deleted due to unwanted comments from certain people like every thread related to siblings. every sibling thread is being stalk by a group who ends up messing everything up. i dunno whats their problem, these people believe others do not have the right to write a thread freely just to share news ,so the freedom to write a post on this forum is questionable. every post related to siblings and family reunifications ends up the same way. it is NOT the the people who create the post but the comments coming from a group who likes to hurt and humiliate others just for fun every body posts here and there is no problem only when the topic is siblings then it becomes a problem for certain people who are not mature enough to post without offending or being sarcastic. you can see it yourself but reading the comments on siblings threads or even in this same thread.
to answer you question the announcement was about faster processing times for family visas. instead of 24 month now it will be 12 month. no siblings yet, waiting continues. cheers.
