Clogs, don't despair yet. I'd hazard a guess that some part of your paperwork is sitting in a pile on someone's desk waiting to be processed, or they are clarifying/waiting on more info from another department... we've all heard what it's like in the Middle East
If you're through to finals I'm sure they'll let you know either way!! Keep busy and they will call you when you're not expecting it!!
Good luck!
