Robt424! I believe there are many things that decide on who gets the GC first:
- did you provide them with everything they asked for at the FI (all the photos, documents, ...) - this can speed up the process a lot
- when did you write you could start? (those with earliest availibility will be contacted first)
- did you maybe sign the uniform and tattoo form on your FI? Some get to sign it there, some don't (I think it depends if you declare a tattoo at the last stage, then you sign this usually on FI)
- also...did you apply online? What does your status says?
I think it's NOT all black beacuse some has received the grooming email (just didn't get to sign it at the FI probably) and others didn't. BE POSITIVE! They told us we could wait up to six weeks to get some news

. No news is good news for now! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us waiting for that GC
