Awaiting Pre-Approval (Stage 2)

Hi, all. Did any applied after 15th December 2021 got pre-approved this week?

Dec 16 pay date, family some time later.

Jan 25 pre-approval received.

Great to see the progress!

Congrats! 16th is your paid date, can I ask what is the submission date? And did your family get approved at the same time with you?

Submission between Dec 12 and 14, family all pre-approved together, presumably based on the main applicantโ€™s date.

We are asking the lawyer about lawsuit against SEF to count the delayed time for pre approval towards the residency requirement. Wondering if anyone else had thought of it.

That would be brilliant.

Many months ago, somewhere on this forum, someone commented that their
lawyer had said there were some rumours about this coming to pass.
But my lawyers poured cold water on that, and not see anything else
since.

I would imagine this to be difficult, but I would try the lawsuit after getting my approval for the sake of disturbances SEF has rendered me.

Thank you, I just checked, seems like SEF is still working on the first half of the month.

Thatโ€™s great - where do you see this?

I donโ€™t see even a single pre-approval in 2023 in the spreadsheet.
