Not ever had a conviction for anything not even a speeding ticket. I emailed twice and only got that my application is being processed, good luck to all with quicker process times (even if I am jealous)

I sent the immigration board an email under instruction from my solicitor nothing threatening, just asking why my process was taking so long and whether my application had been lost.
Long behold I got a letter today dated 11/4/19 stating that I've been moved to the second stage. Good luck to everyone

Please note each application is assessed on an individual basis and the amount of time gathering all the the necessary information varies from application to application.
