    Just had a look at my portal and it says the same thing as yours. Do you think it might mean that the assessment of our application is in progress?🤣

    Same here so fingers crossed for us! Okay that’s a relief. I submitted my Gowling app just last month, exactly a month before the deadline actually. I know the deadline was 22/11 so I’m assuming they’re reviewing in chronological order. Best of luck with the test and please let me know how it...

    I’m only seeing a few people get BCLP VI invites, not sure what is taking so long. Congrats for getting the Gowling test invite! When did you submit your app?
