i applied 31st March (received 1st April) , my timeline is a few pages back. Haven't heard nada since i got my acknowledgement on the 25th April (dated 21st). Its unusually long, seeing as a couple friend who applied two weeks before me got their Approvals in mid April.

Congrats, nearly there...

did you applied by yourself or NCS?
I can see your biometric was really quick, did you send a SD prepaid bag to them?

Thanks

Yep. If you look in the March timelines thread, people have gotten approvals with the latest application date being March 27. So hopefully yours will come soon.
No approvals for April applicants yet. I'm rooting for you as it would mean the rest of us might hear soon too.

It is definitely taking longer now...we'll have to wait and see exactly how long.

Why will they refuse your application? I mean, is there anything wrong with it?
