    Anyone having issues with CMS VI? My status says error and it keeps telling me to try later (which i still cant) - I reached our to CMS team and awaiting their response but in this case they would give me extension if the issue doesn't get fixed until the deadline right?? 🥺😭

    Hi, congratulations for getting VI invite! Yes there is time limit for prep. If I remember correctly 1 minute prep for the first 2 questions and 3 minutes for the last. It's been a while so I am not 100% on this.. also I would recommend focusing on your skills for this VI!

    Received an email from DLA Piper saying I achieved their benchmark for VI and they are now shortlisting people for AC... anyone received the same? I applied for the Leeds office

    Anyone waiting to hear from DLA Piper after VI? I did mine last Saturday and they said they will get back in 7 days, I'm hoping I hear back today.. 🙏 If you haven't done the VI, I suggest that you think about skills you want to sell. also, there is time limit for prep which I didn't know...
