Frank,
Sorry, what i meant was that the money is 4/5 months behind, not them reviewing your application. They accept you pretty quickly, i got mine for last year ageed within a few days - not that i needed it in the end. Just when i was out in Jerz, some of the students said that bbva hadn't sent through any money 4/5 months into training.
It seems that FTE aren't too fussed about slow payment from bbva, i suppose they know that the money is coming at some point.
