Maybe they have lost all of the application data (July and earlier pending ones) because of the recent Printing fiasco/showstopper problem they apparently had?
It cannot be due to lazy case workers etc, since other case workers who are doing hard work and approving at reasonable pace (like August ones) would complain to their management as to why the lazy ones would just work on 2 applications per year and get their annual salary
while they – the hard working ones will have to do more apps per month.
So although many may think so (reasonable though
) i think it’s not about case workers being lazy etc. They all must be reasonably hard working guys. Compared to other country's approval process / timing, the British one is really good.
From the email my wife received yesterday, they clearly said in the email reply that it is just that a case worker was not allotted to the application at all (from July 17th??? ).. which to me just means they may have lost the application data or the most of the pack up until that point in time of IT problem (i.e. 25 July) ... hence making sense that all other applications (recent ones – from August) are being allotted to case workers (IT software problem having been sorted?) and are being worked on and approved.
The real reasons lies in here.. Why are most of the applications from July 25th and earlier
not even being allocated to case workers (as is clear from HO reply to us while they are able to allocate August ones (especially after the IT problem resolution date ones)).. the answer could be they have lost the data, so nothing to allocate???
I really wish though that all i have just said here turns out to be rubbish.
