JoleneW Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hang in there BobSA, I am sure you will receive your invite before the end of the year. I agree with you though, things are moving at a snails pace for the bean counters, but you know what they say "better late than never".Good luck, holding thumbs for you.

Odendaal Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Do you guys think that during their lunch breaks, the CO's look at all these forums and laugh at how we try and speculate on how things happen at the department?

wallyengles Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I remember somewhere there was an explanation for the visa date of effect. Maybe try doing a search for that Eduan.I think if you lodged your EOI before that date you could get an invite with correct points, skills category, etc. Don't take my word though In other news, our correct PCCs FINALLY arrived Finally our CO has all the docs needed. I was seriously starting to lose my mind... Edited November 17, 2015 by wallyengles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSL Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Friends,I've been hanging out at the "Lodged in July" thread but realized I should actually be here.I lodged on the 17 Aug and am hoping to hear about a grant any day now.To all those playing (suffering through) the waiting game: keep strong, you are not alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 MSL we are planning to call them early next week that's if we don't get the grant, the waiting is killing us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSL Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've just heard from my agent that while Case Officers are being allocated fairly quickly, it seems VISA grants have slowed right down. He can't explain why this is happening (he has VISA applications waiting as far back as June!) but that if all the information is in, there is no reason they won't grant it, you'll just have to wait.It's not much help I know, but I hope this does not take too much longer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thank you will keep that in mind MSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odendaal Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ok everyone, I think I am ready (really this time) to "request complete". I am just afraid that she doesn't receive all my documents that I uploaded since she didn't recieve my PCC the first time (even though I uploaded it) SO do you guys think it may be a good idea to just mail my CO and give her a list of what I uploaded just so that she can see whether or not she could see everything I uploaded - am I making sense?Sorry if I come across as paranoid, it hasn't been smooth sailing lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yes, email her a document list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranvilleMay15 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Odendaal.....my experience with email in the VPO was not that great. I had a vague reply 40 days after I sent her a mail. The reply did not answer any questions ....It only lamented that they have so many emails to respond to Oh....I posted in a separate forum...but I am also part of this group....We received our visas this morning! !!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odendaal Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Awesome! Well she's never replied to me but I'll email her my document checklist anyway just for safe measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPanda Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just checking, I read TeeTMI said something about maintenance and that the invitations would only be happening a bit later??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyengles Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I also saw that RedPanda. I wonder if the change of systems isn't also one of the causes of the delay in grants. That possibly coupled with the increased number of applicants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
