Has it got anything to do with Centres???

But is that true that one office is choked with backlogs and most of the fresh applications are sent to other offices and that is why we have this discrimination (October applicants getting their approvals with august applicants still waiting)?

thanks gmx. I saw another october applicant with almost similar timeline had the approval. The problem is along with hope, my anxiety is growing bigger. I have written to my MP to see if he can find out anything based on my frequent travels offshore. Fingers crossed.
