im one of those examples of the extremes of slow and fast treatment.
look, funnily, i got my application considered and refused in ONE day flat last may and now the review request is taking over ten weeks!!
i faxed my review request on 4/7/05 with my last caseworker ON the phone and she confirmed reception. She also said she would pass it onto the review team and that i would have an answer in 1 - 4 weeks...
so far this story sounds great, right? but now comes the 'misterious' part, look:
after TEN weeks of waiting, doing other things and NOT coming to this forum at all, i decided to ask for my status to the hsmp team and this is the response i got today
WHAT is that supposed to mean? that my caseworker just hung up the phone and buried my review request in the deepness of those huge piles of original documents of people trying to go to the UK to help them grow economically?Dear Applicant,
I can confirm that we received your review request on the 18/8/2005. We have
now requested the file to be recalled and this will be forwarded to the
review teams who will deal with it from there. I can only ask you to be
patient and email us on a weekly basis to check the progression of your
review.
Kind Regards
does it mean that, ALL this 10 weeks has been a waste of time?
just the applicants with a review could have the right to email on a weekly basis and check on the progression of our cases?
thankfully, there has been some tremendously amazing changes in my life in the last months and this has made me more relaxed and focused, BUT even then, i think that this kind of 'unexplainable' system (to say it nicely) should not be applied to highly skilled/educated/prepared people, dont you agree?
what would you do in my case?
best wishes
Jhonny
