Waiting in this kind of weather is not good for ones mind, body and soul.......but lets be hopeful that things will improve very, very soon.dr_me wrote:No decision as yet is made on my application. Still waiting
But really why are the approvals not coming through?dr_me wrote:True TTOE. Dr wants to relax and so does others waiting
April!!! Hah...we all need to come together and send SOS to that "someone"dr_me wrote:Haven't got a clue. Perhaps will come altogether or that "someone" might be right @April
even technology can fail here lolI agree, especially with this kind of weather mother nature is throwing at the UK at the modr_me wrote:That SOS may have signal problems
Yeah it will be very useful. Alternatively online tracker may help so there won't be any extra burden on HO dealing with requests such as how long does it take, has it been assigned to case worker, my letter has not arrived etc etc technology needs some utilisation here.TTOE wrote:I suggest they introduce the PEO system to AN & MN1 application too.
Book appointment > wait for the day > attend in the morning or afternoon > get out of the PEO with job done same day....priceless!!!
Dream on.......
An online tracker shouldn't be too costly for the HO to implement but hey what happens to jobs bro? Technology taking away our jobs song will startdr_me wrote:Yeah it will be very useful.
