Realised I made a big mistake with my payment. I put down IE-001234 as the WTN because that was on the printout I had but my actual one was over 6000, the payment was verified but I think that might lead to problems. Really annoyed as I just didn't think in the bank, should I message them or wait and see?

Balls, just realised i put the wrong dates altogether on the third part of the employment history.
I had uploaded it and everything after validating and have just realised as I'm doing my CV that i have the dates wrong in the notes I'm working off!!
Is the "modify" button supposed to work. I keep getting "bad gateway".
Maybe I'll try in another browser. Ah well. Dope.
I'm sure I'll get a chance to rectify that, right?

Trying to upload IMM1295 and getting "Your document contains invalid entries". Tearing my hair out. It would be nice if they gave me a specific error.

I had this same problem. It was just a trial and error I found. I believe I had N/A written into one of the address fields. Maybe postcode. Strangely this validated ok. When I just left it blank, it uploaded ok.

Yeh, because there will be someone with 001234 as their actual reference number. It will look like multiple payments from the same person.

Have you completely submitted your application?
If not you can just edit the application form that you've got on your pc. Then click modify and you can replace the current file already there with the new fixed file.

cheers wasterEx, i think the problem is when you have ur account open and it just sits there for a bit, then none of the links work, like it times out. I've reopened it and i'll do that now, i hope

Well, then leave it unless they contact you. They will message you if there's a problem.

Just another Q on the digital photo. I asked the lovely girl who did it for me in the local pharmacy to give it to me digitally (not in a filthy way)
The jpeg she put on my usb key is all four photos in one. Is that ok? I've uploaded it grand. Its just the same pic 4 times in a jpeg file!!
Didn't cop it til i got home.

Still waiting verification of payment, I am at my wits end.

Paid on Wednesday LAST, asked for additional proof of payment the next day Thursday, I emailed them telling them my bank could not provide additional proof of payment, no reply. Then emailed them stating the account number I paid into and re-clarifying all my details and still nothing. Two more emails asking if that was sufficient information, no reply.

This is absolutely ridiculous, have the IEC any idea how stressful this process is.

Oh and in case anyone was wondering, the embassy are absolutely no help. Went in the other day and was told they knew nothing and there was no one there to help me.

Hi folks,
Has anyone been moved to stage 2 today and if so, can you share your WTN# range. I'm over the 2,000 mark so I'm interested to see what
progress they're making.
Also, anyone in Canada moved to stage 2 yet?

Thanks :-)

JustRoss23
