Has anyone heard anything more from Bristows since the last email about VI's?
I got an email on 22nd Jan saying my application is now being reviewed by the partners post VI but nothing since. Not hugely hopeful as was using it for some other apps and found loads of typos 🤦‍♀️ GR might have overlooked but not sure partners will so now just awaiting my PFO!

Tbf I saw a couple of rejections prior to the email that the VI would be reviewed by partners, so hopefully it may be good news.

I got the same email about being reviewed by the partners post VI... Does anyone know when their AC are supposed to be?

I know someone that has gotten through to the next stage, they have an interview with a partner and senior associate next Tuesday. Think they are just still working through applications. Remember, no news is good news.

Congratulations to everyone for the FF WGs! If you think your wait is bad, I submitted 14 Nov, portal updated on the 30th Nov, and I have received no contact since then YEEHAW

I think I may take this as one of those silent rejections or they've genuinely lost my app into the oblivion
