CO contacted for pay slips on 25th February current employment verification 04th of March

Ever since no contact nothing. Hoping the same that no news is a good news but my friends who applied with me have received results and that just worries me why I’m not getting any

I’m just wondering why my friends who are getting results who applied with me but not me. Good luck to you too!!

Hi JandM thank you so much for your response. My LIA doesn’t contact the immigration and says no news is good news. I actually am thinking the case is getting delayed because the LIA is representing because my friends have forwarded their case on their own and they already got the decision. Any thoughts on this please?

That will have no bearing on the matter at all. I know it's tempting to try to guess some large reason why someone's case has gone faster than yours, but like I've said elsewhere, all cases are individual, and if yours has more evidence to be verified, or if people the CO needs an answer from about you don't reply as quickly, yours will take longer - it can be as simple as that.

[QUOTE=JandM;580763]Thanks for the clarification JandM. Patience is a vitue now I understand that. It’s bit hard when my own friends are questioning me everyday saying that they got theirs and why my case is taking so long. It’s time for me to tell them back off 😅
