Hi All,

I was just wondering what the current waiting time is from the London branch to get a "Decision Successful" and your ITA after your EOI has been selected without a job offer. I know the website says up to three months - is this the current wait or is it taking longer?

Also is there a particular order that they review the selected EOI's? Do they review those with higher points first or is it by when they were selected???

As you can tell I am one of these people who hate waiting for things and until the ITA arrives there is not much else we can do!! (we are trying to get a job to speed it all up but haven't found anything yet :no)

Oh well patience is a virtue (so I've been told :laugh)

thanks
Jenny

Hang in there, Jenny! Re your comment about being "one of those people who hate waiting for things"--it got me wondering if there's ANYbody out there who enjoys waiting for things? I've never met one. Let's all keep all our fingers crossed.... Susan

I think you are right Susan, although as I'm a control freak and this is now something totally out of my control it is driving me mad :laugh

I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.

Usually it takes up to 3 months, but I had 115 only (no job) and it took 5 weeks. I guess it is just luck.
Yes, they review in the same order in that they select them - 140, then job, etc.
If you aren't good at waiting then the ITA stage will be hell for you. ;)

Mine took just about 6 weeks. More or less. I'm not good with math. ;) I received my ITA in the post yesterday (Mar 27). My EOI was selected on Feb 14.

I had 130 points, too, with no offer. And I'm a yank if it makes any difference. :D

Hi Jenny,
Welcome to the club!
It is like your whole life is kinda put on hold, isn't it?
It won't look so bad afterwards though ...
