Hi, I emailed them last dec 22 and upto now I have no answer. Thats why Ive been saying, CIO employees are on holiday mood. I dont think they will release PER this week.
Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone.
Not picking you out especially, carl128 but you are just the latest in a long line of people and I think this needs saying once and for all;
PLEASE STOP E-MAILING CIO to ask for status updates!!!
Unless you have a
serious query, such as Katy whose courier reported her package lost and
needed to know if CIO had it, then just please
leave them alone to get on with the job of processing the apps they have received.
Most of the applicants on here e-mailing CIO haven't waited
anywhere near the amount of time that would be expected from the spreadsheet information and so all they get is the stock e-mail answer anyway.
E-mail is far too easy for people to just fire off every five minutes and I for one would rather people showed some patience and waited the time expected plus a bit before they stared bombarding CIO with e-mails.
I bet they get totally fed up with this and perhaps that is why they started telling people 33 weeks - to try to stop impatient applicants pestering them after only a few weeks. It does have an impact on their workload and also the information they release to queries.
Unless you have a serious question relating to your app AND I DON'T MEAN JUST TO GET YOUR FILE NUMBER OR ASK WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR APP, then leave them alone and wait.
When your app has been accepted, you will get your PER and a file number sent to you.
Simple as that.
Good Luck to everyone for the New Year.
