Just 2 so far. There wasn't much movement so I didn't bother uploading the dashboard again.
Gonna take another couple of weeks before there will be movement in September applications me thinks.

having been a spectator on this forum for months now, I finally decided to participate fully by adding my own application timeline..if im honest, its the nerves..sept 10th seems like a lifetime ago..
im really happy to see more sept approvals..given all thats happening today in the media about immigration ...im hoping this is a quiet refuge from all the xenophobia thats out there. anyway goodluck everyone..

Hi all

I did a small analysis. It's not 100% but good for entertainment:)
May 76 applicants (8% approved during the 1st mnth; 32% appr during 2nd and 3rd mnths; 24% appr 4th mnth; 36% still waiting as at 05/11/14)
June 82 applicants (0% approved during the 1st mnth; 0% appr 2nd mnth; 77% appr during 3rd-4th mnths; 23% still waiting as at 05/11/14)
July 78 applicants (6% approved during 1st and 2nd mnths; 50% appr during 2nd 3rd mnths; 8% appr during 3rd-4th mnths; 38% still waiting as at 05/11/14)
August 64 applicants (5% approved during the 1st mnth; 19% appr 2nd mnth; 34% appr 3rd mnth; 42% still waiting as at 05/11/14)
September 46 applicants (9% approved during the 1st and 2nd mnths)

Looking at the trend - in the next 4 weeks about 30-50% of us will get lucky letters and the rest will be checking this forum for the couple of months more:)
Good luck to all of us.
Me and my family have submitted docs on 10th Sept and of course waiting:)

Ah cool.
btw, for Raniya, it was typo as well. Her fees were deducted on 30th rather than 20th. Have corrected it on dashboard
