What he should say is that they are restarting the August applications. It's not as if this is the first time August applicants have been processed. Sean, Spav and I were all August applicants. You applied 4 days before I did. Yet they added me to the FBR on November 28th 2018, while they have not even processed yours. No explanation has ever been given for such differences or for this apparent long pause in processing.Hol292 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 4:32 pmJust spoke to the FBR team so thought I’d give an update.
He said my application (sent 1st week in August) has yet to be checked so hasn’t been processed at all. But that they have moved on to August 2018 applications now so he’d hope for some news for me in the next few weeks and said to give them a call back if I don’t hear anything.
I’d hoped for better news - even if it’s just that my documents had all been primarily checked and were in order. But oh well. It takes as long as it takes and I’m sure the guys are working hard on the backlog.
Despite that, it does appear that things are drawing to a conclusion for all those that applied in August. Amcbamcb and Michael have both been added recently and it looks like the next month will see many of the others on the FBR - if not quite yet in receipt of their certificates.
As Court indicated, you were fortunate to get through on the phone. I tried and failed many times.
