Hi You provided useful details. Thank you I just want to know what did you mentioned in the complaint review?

Seems like you are a step ahead of me if you already submitted an IEC complaint review. What did they say ab...

OP, may I ask for the email that you used to contact the Home Secretary and Minister for Migration? Thanks Hi, any luck with your application ? I am on the same boat. I had submitted 2 complaints and 1 formal review which came back yesterday. I have escalated to IEC, not sure what else to do now! T...
