Manila - Visa Processing Hub

[lastlid]

The ECO's are mostly, but not all, UK based entry clearance staff who are posted overseas and deployed for a tour of duty and then after a time return to their home units.

No commitment to the long term so therefore blase about the short term?

Well it may depend if this is a 'road' to promotion, and what 'qualities' are perceived as being required.
Don't forget that the caseworkers and the Ass ECO's do most of the review and summary work. The ECO's spend their time digesting and making final decisions.

I think you've mentioned in an earlier post about having 'luck' with the application. I guess it's lucky if your own application ends up at the desks of efficient and well trained Caseworkers who quicky pass on some well defined summary without diverting to others on a work-list, and it ends up with an ECO who trusts the presented summary and only 'digs deeper' on say a random 10%

BTW, that's just my opinion.

I wonder if this pair accused of trying to fiddle a visa application for their own benefit were ever stationed in Manila
