I personally think that the points statement needs some clarification. Also, (possibly a stupid) question to all but are those point only 'attributes' or do they mean total points i.e. 'english' and 'maintenance' included. I truly hope it's the latter else I am in trouble. Thanks Forgot to add, I ap...

I would say even that's a little over the going rate for a graduate mechanical engineer. I am a mechanical project engineer and I started on 21k four years ago. I believe you are very fortunate in the current climate. One doesn't start on big salaries straight away in manufacturing/ heavy industry. ...

That's great news Oasis4u.

I know how great it feels after weeks of misery.

All the best.

Thanks guys, Kin, all these recent updates from Gtd, Sudhi, Twang, Nagu, Seema and me only mean that the applications from first week of Feb have all been processed. This means that any remaining applications from that period could only be in the post unless it was a very dodgy one. I hope you can s...

Quick update folks, Kin, Spang, Pardass keep an eye out for the postman coz I quickly went home from work to check and I am glad to say that have finally received my passport so you guys should get it either today or tomorrow. Its was one hell of a wait but I can finally get on my flight next week. ...

Great news gtd and congratulations, at least somebody got it back today.

I have only two days to get my passport back before my flight on Tuesday. I m hanging by a thread now but it's the updates like yours that keep my hopes afloat.

Congrats mrahk and daheiniao, the wait is finally over for you guys.

For rest of us it's another day of staring at the window so kin, spang and pardas please update should there be any development. Based on twang and sudhi4uk applications I feel at least some of should get the good news today.

Congrats sudhi4uk, was your application returned via special delivery or recorded?

Pardass, my timeline is similar to yours and I applied only a day after you with no SD envelope enclosed either. I think spang appplied on 1st and Kin a later, but they too haven't received their applications back yet. I think our applications might be with the same (lousy ;)) caseworker. It is very...

Anymore updates folks?? Hoping to hear of few more approvals today.

Hello Folks, I have been following this thread quite closely and I am waiting for my passport just like rest of you. However, my predicament is that I have an interview on Tuesday and then I am (hopefully) flying to Delhi on 23rd for a wedding. I too didn't enclose the SD envelop (duh!!), but back t...
