I contacted ho on 23.12.17 as the online status changed from awaiting decision to decided back to awaiting decision in Nov. Ho confirmed (06.01.18) this was an error and my application was still in a queue waiting to be allocated a caseworker. Very disheartened

I sense I'm one of the unlucky ones waiting for the 6 month mark

( I know it's only been 3 months but the fact it's still not been allocated makes me feel sad!)
