Log into your kompass account again and see what status it gives underneath "progress" if it says "locked" that means it has been submitted.

There were definitely a few more bugs this time round. Very frustrating though.

I got in Finally at number 8906, so slim to zero chance of getting in now

Had tried logging in and out and using different browsers but finally tried it off a completely different laptop and worked, ffs, head-wrecking

My girlfriend is 8356 and her progress says 'locked' so this might be a good thing!

That's very strange. Definitely some weird bugs this time round. I hope you get it.

Kod-box

Mine says locked too, just means we're on a waiting list I'd assume?

What does it say under your progress?

whatlliwear

I am presuming that the need to put the number 5 in was to prevent Visa First and such places from applying for people?
Did anyone actually get one with them last time round?

I sacked them after they failed to get me one in the first round. I was disgusted, and didn't like the fact that my fate was in their hands for round two.

Good decision, though.

You had to type in "5" in the final part to ensure you weren't an automated device:)

Haven't heard a thing about visa first one way or another, be interested to hear if they had any success

I got mine during round 1, myself and OH had discussed us not getting his tonight, one of our options was to keep mine, hold off as long as possible in filling in all relevent forms before getting the POE and for him to apply for one next year and go out together or, if they are late out again next year, me to go out and get set up and for him to meet me when he got his. Could this be an option for you? Or the young professional catagory?

Silvio67

I applied for a mate tonight after me being successful myself in round 1.

Way more stressful doing it for someone else, especially with tonights **** up. I had sorted myself in round 1 within 3 minutes so at 9.10 tonight I let him know that it wasn't looking good and hes missed out.. Finally got through at 9.15.. hes absolutely chuffed.

Ye really can appreciate just how **** it would be for those not getting through.

WTN is 584X

Am THRILLED!! Was waiting since 8:00, had about 10 tabs open
so that if one tossed me off I had more to go, hairy moment when it kept telling me my Password was wrong. Then all of a sudden it just went through for me. Now to get the rest done so I can get organised and leave!

That sucks man, Do you not have 2 years to use these visas or is it a year from acceptance?

Visa First washed there hands with all applicants after the first round, as they said they're would be no way they could secure a place for people.

Fair play - did you get sorted tonight? Also had you paid them? Did you receive a refund?
