Congrats ZakiAhmadUK! were u the one who is under 21?

tomorrow the timelines start ticking!! soo nervous... hope we all get good news soon..

Yes, under 21. However, I think I may have mislead you here. I meant that a decision would be made after 15 working days and not that I would receive it certainly within 15 working days. Hope that clarifies this.

did u get a confirmation that that it has been approve?

ZakiAhmadUK · #**523** (**permalink**) 3rd January 2012, 05:26 AM

No. They simply said that a decision would be made within 15 working days.

ZakiAhmadUK · #**524** (**permalink**) 3rd January 2012, 06:47 PM

Very disappointed. Just got an email saying its going to take up to 15 working days... Again.... Is there any way of contacting them about this?? They said 15 working days and now after 15 working days they say another 15 working days.. Very disappointed..

maybe they need further discussion... no rejection means there is hope... keep the faith going!!!

Yep - just disappointed that she won't be able to go back to London with me because I leave from Canada very soon and it would've been very nice for her to go with me..if there's any way of speeding this up, then can please someone let me know. Thank you.

Not really. You have no choice but to wait. At least they are updating you on your progress. If you apply in UK, you normally hear nothing for months before you find out whether you've been successful or not.

Indeed it's a very frustrating process which puts your life in hold. By the end of the month I was going nuts. We tried to contact the never straight-forward Worldbridge staff and always got copy and pastes. We tried calling but we always got a machine.

Be as patient as you can, you will get a reply soon. I know it's tough, sending you positive vibes ZakiAhmadUK.
