I've got everything crossed for you. I can't believe you've been made to wait this long. It's so unfair. x


What's everyone doing in the UK to stay cool? I've been living here for nine years and this is the longest the weather has stayed this hot. Think I'll go sit in my car with the air conditioning running lol.

I've finally gone into "In Processing" 12/07....As I'm the last in 2012 it would seems London has finally reviewed all the 2012 applications... :D

Hopefully our DM's are just around the corner. Good luck to all the remaining 2012 app's. :)

Congratulations to you guys with changed status to "in progress"! That´s always something!

Just want to send an update and to tell you that I actually received a response on an e-mail to VO London!
The 8th of July they asked me to send in a police record for a working period abroad within 60 days.
Two days later I answered that I´ve ordered it but it takes about 2 months through the consulate and about 6 weeks through the Swedish police to get it. Today, the 15th of July, I got a reply from VO London:

Good morning,

Thank you for the information. Please submit the police certificate as soon as it is possible to do so.

Regards,
CDD

Well, we have booked tickets for landing in October in Halifax. Really looking forward to it.

I hope for you guys still waiting, especially the 2012 applicants, that London get their finger out and finish things off.

Seems to be totally random. Sniprat was less than 2 weeks. I'm sitting at 6 weeks and some people (David Marsden and Moonchild) have been even longer for no apparent reason.

https://twitter.com/calxandr is the new CIC minister as of today so I was swift in sending him a tweet asking that he quickly gets a grip on the situation and comes up with a plan to make processing quicker.

Given my notes showed security and criminal checks hasn't started and they take months to complete a quick process is unlikely no matter how much I wish.
