Congratulations Irjinao!

It's always fantastic news to hear another one of us has been approved.

Quick question, were you an IT or non-IT applicant?

Best wishes for EC!

Any other recent approvals?

hi alosondsc
thanks for your response

I am a teacher, out of country applicant, i had working visa in the past in the UK.

that's good news. i'm in government/management consulting and was just wondering if the non-IT applications are processed as quickly.

best wishes

The time for your applicaion is nothing to do with whether you are IT or Non It applicant. It depends on your case and very probably the caseworker itself. Keep in mind IT is nologer considered as "SHORTAGE OCCUPATION" in the UK.

There is no preference or priority processing based on proffesion.
