I have checked our records and can see that your application is still being processed by the casework team.
I don't know what exactly it means ..,
Will it take longer or is it around the corner

Hi Emo - Congrats.

Please help us with one bit of information.. are you sure your date of approval itself is 22/8/13 or was it received by you on 22/8/13 and the letter of approval is dated sometime in July or earlier?

This is very important information for us all who are waiting please.
Specifically the date as it appears on your approval letter. Especially is it before 25th July or on or after 25th July :)

If that date itself is 22/August (or even on or after 25th July), then it is happy days from now on, for all of us who are waiting :)

Hope it is that way. Please let us know anyway.

I am still waiting for invitation letter. And it is just about a month since I got approval letter. I am not sure whether IT issue has been fixed or ! But I dont think my certificate has arrived yet to local council as didnt heard anything. But for sure council received some certificate last Wednesday. I dont know whether it is 2013 or 1700....probably 1700 technology was faster than this.

Hello,

I think some people have been wondering whether the HO has been able to print letters lately? Well, some people in the August timeline have received their acknowledgement letters (dated in August) so hopefully this means letters are being printed off ok at the HO!

Hope this info helps!
