Unique Situation help needed

[gct_123]

Dear forum members,

My application was received by HO on 19th Oct (under old criteria ) and cc charged on the same day. i have been following up with email daily, it was assigned to caseworker on 22nd nov and since then i m calling and emailing daily but received same response that my case is with caseworker and under consideration. It has been over 2 weeks now and i m very much worried about no progress made so far on my application. my case is very straight forward, i applied under 28 category having bachelor degree and i have claimed 50 points for earning and provided 5 piece of evidences like stamped and signed payslips, latest tax return, bank statement of last 12 months, letter from employer and letter from account. i sent 5 evidences for earnings just to make sure that they award me 50 points (i got 35 points in my previous application but was fallen short of 10 points because they didn't award me points for work experience). i waited for 1 year and applied again when i was able to qualify for 50 points because i never wanted to get rejected again my foolish caseworker that my experience is not graduate level.

I am waiting for over 2 weeks now for my second application which is quite simple to review but receiving same response that it is under consideration. they are not saying me that it has gone for verification rather they just say decision will be made very shortly. what could be the reason for delay? does this mean they're doing verification? i m very annoyed inspite of providing 5 evidences it is taking time.

would someone please advise on next course of action ?

thanks
