FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[dmitrych]

Good news, everyone!
I think I've finally designed The Ultimate Chart I've been looking for, - it's a pinnacle of FSW statistics visualization ;D
It's now available on the Charts sheet.
On this chart, all applications are sorted by their received date, from left to right, with their statuses shown. May 1 is on the left, and currently May 8 is on the right (you can hover your mouse over the chart in the spreadsheet to see exact app. received dates).

Bar length is proportional to application count (not percents, like on the older chart), so it's easy to see how many applications it's left to process for a given App. Received date, - AND it's also easy to extrapolate trends into the future, because the chart shows application status dynamics (on the vertical axis), not just a static picture for today.

Moreover, all abandoned (inactive) spreadsheet entries are also clearly visible, with no fee encashed for a long time. I suppose, these entries also include some percentage of returned applications, which just didn't get back to applicants yet, and maybe some rare applications which for some reason take significantly longer time to process.

See some additional examples on this screenshot (clickable):



As a bonus, here's another version of this chart. It includes all applications with "At CIO" status, for an overview. You can't find this version in the spreadsheet, but it helps to visualize the huge pile of applications CIC has to process now : ;D

Hi All,

Had a doubt regarding my bank funds.

I had funds from my salary credits to citibank. Citibank gave me Bank certificate with balance in account

Now I am thinking to shift my funds to SBI (new opened account) and get a Fixed deposit done. SBI manager is telling they cant give Bank certificate with balance in account, however the same can be printed on Passbook with Fixed deposit details..

I am thinking to go for SBI because of better interest rates.

Would it be okay to show SBI passbook copies with FD details and Fixed deposit copy as fund proofs ???

In sbi you can take prrintout of your account balance if you have online banking facility. There is an option to get balance certificate in fixed format. One more thing IDBI bank is also a better option for higher interest on fd and they will also provide u the certificate in which format you need.

Write N/A

When I tried to enter N/A the form gives a validation error asking for a numeric value.

By looking at the guide I see it states the following:
Indicate your Unique Client Identifier number (UCI) or Client Identification number (Client ID), if known (8-digit number). Otherwise, leave it blank

Have anyone leave this field blank, is it ok?

Thanks
