HKG

We applied in April 2017 and at that time we were looking at 24-36 months. As the processing queue has only moved one month in the last five months (from July to August 2015) I am despairing as I now think it may be some years. I would have been less keen to pay the application fee if I had know we would wait so long as by the time we get it my husband may be too old to want to move. There doesn't seem to be any solution other than hang on and be patient (which I am not)!

Thanks Tulip1. I think it is the uncertainty about the timescales that frustrates me.

I applied for the 143 CPV in April 2017 at which time the wait was about 2-3 years. I am now despairing as it seems as if there has been no movement since February of this year, when processing had reached July 2015 where it has remained. Does anyone know why no visas have been processed since then? Can anyone give an estimate as to when a 143 application submitted in April 2017 will be processed? At this rate my husband and I will have died before we get to live with the children and grandchildren!
