jaq4chop Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hello everyone, I was at a bit of a loose end last night & in a rather sad & obsessive manner I pulled some info from the beupdate website. Using the 175 visa applications only (as that is the one we have applied for) from September 07 as it seemed a good place to start to April 08 (as that is when we applied) I extracted all the applicants. Then I removed the following applicants as they were not relevant to the info I was trying to deduce. Those with visa granted, those that stated they were from a high risk country, those that had not updated with either a pre aknowledgement date or an acknowledgement date (if they had one or the other I kept them) Both paper & online applications & modl & non modl are included. What I was aiming to get to was how many applications were listed & how many had COs. Quite why I decided I wanted to know this I don't know but the result was quite cheerful. 201 applications listed. 59 have case officers 44 of the 201 are paper based (including us) 8 paper based have case officers. Does anyone find this info useful / interesting? I am happy to update the results once a week & post them in this thread. Please let me know if you would like to see the info. Alternatively, please feel free to send mocking replies on how I should get out more often. Cheers Jaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathK Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Aren't we just all so sad sitting on our PCS trying to work out where we are in that big mess that is the GSM!! There seems to be no system in it at all, when you see people from March/April are getting COs, & people in Dec haven't. We finally got a CO this week, (at last - HURRAH!) & we were Jan. However, that said, I am also one of those 'sad' people, so would also be interested in your 'facts'!! Kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackief Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi I am also interested - applied on the 1st July so looks like I have ages to wait - ho hum!! I wish I could just have something from them to say "hey we know your there and your in a queue and you will be dealt with in approx x amount of months" - then you could have something to hang on to. You can probably sense the desparation hey:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably sense the desparation hey:) Hi, I know exactly what you mean. We are rapidly running out of space & can t decide whether to rent somewhere bigger or to grin & bear it. Sods law says that if we rent somewhere & commit to 6 months lease we will get the visa the next day. For now we will carry on changing our mind every day. lol Jaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob&Ani Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 In our excitement about getting a CO in Sep (especially as we're paperbased), we've failed miserable to keep up to date with all your hard efforts. So jaq4chop we must thank you for your dilegence & industriousness for this thread. We know you enjoy it as well, which helps, but we need to show our appreciation too! Not only is it another great way to see how everyone is doing with progressing forward, i.e. CO or Visa, its great, coz on the BEupdate you get to see where everyone is headed!!! :yes: Keep up the good work.
