Hi all,

Sometimes I bite my toungue (in these case the fingers) to not post stuff that is not related to timeline only, Bu I get really upset when I see that May applicants are getting approvals everyday, they haven't even finish with the March applicants and we April are stuck.

we just have to keep the hope I guess....

Though I have received my approval letter I haven't received invitation letter yet. The council said it is very strange as it's already past 2 weeks from the date of the letter and that they have not got my certificate or my details of approval yet Hence they asked me to wait until this week else they will raise a query to HO. Has this happened to anyone? Can anyone kindly advice on what to do next please.

As of the end of June. We know that we had no April approvals at all on this forum until quite recently

[gaurav76.5]

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... 036574.pdf

Lette is dated 8 Sept which means its more recent statistics. I am focussing on pending cases they are saying there are close 6875 application pending. In May they had only 10 approvals which seems to be correct because there are only 4-5 approval in may which I saw in May forum which were granted approvals last week. it looks like approvals are going to increase now as staff will be back form holidays.

If you read the document you will find it says the following:

"Cases where the first case outcome date is after 30-Jun-2015 are shown as "Pending".

This is the state of play as of 30 June. So it's 100% in line with what we know
