We have recently found out that our visa has been delayed due to a decision on the bonds scheme. We have been told that there are 2000 people, like us, waiting in limbo, who applied before sept 07. Have you any further information on this?
There are rumours that the required 5 points will be granted automatically to all who have claimed the bonus points for making the capital investment ... but as I say this is only a rumour - please don't hold me to it.
