Hi,
outbound thanks very much for ur input.Yes I know tht as he applied in 2007 so he was under the new rules.But do u know nowadays London visa office has processed some cases very quickly ,whose professions were included in the list of 38.There was one computer professional who submitted his docs in June 2009 n got his visa stamped on 15th Sept, same was the case with another applicant.Whereas there are many applicants who submitted their docs in April -May 2009 n still havent received even the medicals request as their professions were not included in the list.I might be wrong but it seems from the current statistics.As I am also a 2007 applicant n just submitted my docs so quite concerned abt this issue.
regards
you can have two applications at the same time, one under the old rule and one under the new rule.
I am under old rules and in 38 list and my case is as slow as dead. No preference for be on the 38 list if you are under old rule. Preference is ONLY for the applicants who applied after Feb 27th 2008 and in some cases that is not true either - you are fast if you applied after Nov-Dec 2008.
No Fast processing for old rule applicants, they will go as usual with no priority.
