Entry Clearance: No news = Good or Bad news?

[peterpiper]

Applying for entry clearance in Canberra for the UK, it's taken longer than the quoted time.

Does no news mean good news or bad news?

Are they looking for reasons to let me in or keep me out?

Has anyone been kept waiting then had their entry clearance granted?

A small suggestion...

If you put your timelines.. it will help the few applicants from Oz on this board to respond..
increase probability of getting a reply with more clear info..
Cheers mate..

makes sense doesn't it....

I was quoted "up to 25 business days" to process....
It's not been 32 business days they've had it... (not since I sent it, but since they've received it)

I'm waiting for a reply from the Canberra office. I'm told that I'll get an email from them, then another 5 days to print it and sent it over....

How much Longer???

Waiting on details? Would that be from me, as I've not heard anything back from them...

I've tried calling them last week. They said that it was being processed, can't tell me when they'll be done, but "could" hear during the week... Well that was last week, and still no news...

But in this case, is no news = good news???

its really depend upon your case mate. if u can write down your distribution of points then i could Analise something..

[peterpiper]

I don't have any points... I was issued a work permit in January.
The work permit was issued it the UK.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that my case mightn't be an open and shut case as I was illegal for 3 years (long story but I have an email from the Home Office that shows that there was confusion about my prior work permit) but I left the UK before the 1st October 2008 when there was a window for illegal aliens. I suppose reading that myself tells me there would delays of some sorts...
