I have not seen Teejays' posting for sometime, Chess i want to ask, i was told two days ago tha my application would be assigned to a case worker this week. Today they are through with it (48 hours) does that mean they didn't need to send my documents to Abuja for comfirmation?
In my estimation i scored myself 75 points, does that mean they were satisfied with my documentation?

Papafaith,

Given the quick turnaround (48 hours) from allocation of caseworker to reaching a decision - I suspect that it is POSITIVE

Although dont start selling your house, belongings, etc. before you get the decision letter and EC....as we say in Africa, dont count the children before you get wives

Chess i checked the mail they sent me telling me that it would be assigned to a case worker this week, it was sent to me yesterday 04/05/04. So it is actually 24 hours ( fromm alocation to case worker to decision). Thanks mate i will not sell my house yet. Did you say you think it is positive?

Nkosi..

it looks like things have sterted shaping up, she was called for a second interview with some company southwest of london. She has also registered for a postgrad marketing course, as a 'cover' to the Zim degree.

Dependent permit, decided put it on hold for now since all the original docs are with the HO, if they decide otherwise, wake up the next morning to ue for the dependent permit.

Yet to recieve my letter, having a problem with DHL, according to instruction of caseworker DHL was to contact her personnally and quote my ref before docs will be released. Because DHL was turned down in earlier cases they just assumed that they will not be allowed to pick up, and they kep quiet since the 5th of may, yet they took money from me, quite disgusting. The postal system in my country is horrible so asked caseworker to delay despatch by normal post to give me time to make a last minute alternative. DHL will have to refund me.
Has anyone gone through this?

tryafrica · Post by **tryafrica** » Tue May 18, 2004 11:51 am

Papa...

i hope you will be able to get your approval later soon, i thought dhl had the best service in comparison with the others.

Anyone with an idea on which applications (date) the HO is currently processing. Waiting for mine posted on the 28th of feb.

I'd be happy to update my spreadsheet, just a couple of questions.

Was Feb 12 the date the application was received by the home office?

Do you know your reference number?
