Hi Son
Yep. It has now been confirmed that they are not going to release any of the extra 3,000 visas until 1st July, and they've already granted or allocated the 3,500 visas available up until 30 June 2008.
However - as Alan Collett has commented elsewhere - hopefully the POPC are having a recruitment drive at the moment because they wiill need additional staff in order to handle the increased number of visas. If they can get the extra stuff reasonably quickly the they should be able to chug along at a respectable pace from 1st July 2008. They are also an extremely efficient unit - they really do not dawdle around wasting their own or their clients' time.
Best wishes
