Extension Approved less than 8 weeks

Post by itk » Fri Mar 31, 2017 2:41 pm

Extension granted less than 8 weeks. Special thanks to the Lord Almighty who alone does great wonder. I also, want to thank everyone in this forum for making themselves available to take questions and provide speedy answers. May the Lord richly bless the work of your hands. I may have stepped on toes by my action or inaction during those critical moments, I am indeed sorry if I may have hurt anyone, it wasn't intentional. To everyone getting ready for their extensions let the policy guidance be your guide and companion. Also, prayer is key. For me, the success of my application was based on Proverbs 21:1 “The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; he guides it wherever he pleases.” Truly, the Lord directed the heart of my Case Worker to favour me.

Below is my timeline.
Application sent: 02.02.17
Application received: 03.02.17
Postal Order cashed: 08.02.17

This is is impossible, this cannot happen, this is magic, are you really telling me that case workers are not conspiring against migrants ??
Are you telling me that you beat the dark forces that prevent applicants to get visa and force them to apply again just to make the government rich ???
NO, NO, NO !
Are you telling me that I can get rid of the tin foil hat I am wearing everyday ? :lol:

Congratulations :D

No I didn't receive such letter and no interviews. It was simply God in action on my behalf. Be positive and don't doubt yourself you'll receive your visa anytime soon.

I feel this is just God compensating us for all we went through during our initial application.

You're absolutely right babylondoner! You've got very strong memory, my initial application was well over a year and I learnt my lessons from it. This one is the absolute hand work of God
