UPDATE

I've tried ringing anyone I can think of to find out what's happening!

Dfes - will get back to me once they have answers to my questions, but it doesn't look like the paperwork has arrived there yet.

WAG - the contact is off sick, no one in the office can answer my questions - but someone maybe in on Wednesday who can help!! they're on strike tomorrow and in meetings on Wednesday morning, just my luck!

SW - I've tried the office and her mobile (2 hours ago), I've left messages on both phones, no contact yet. I've also tried her line manager, but he's not answering either!

BLAS (additional tracking service that I've paid for in China) I've emailed twice (first thing this morning and again at lunchtime), no answer yet - and they are on national leave from tomorrow for a week!! Typical.

Internationally no one has confirmed the cutoff yet with actual referral details, but many agencies are confirming the 1st as the cutoff date.

There is a small chance that even if the 1st is included (very likely at the moment) that I may not receive referral with this batch as I sent additional paperwork to China last summer. This paperwork means that my file would have to be pulled out to add it in - it may then have been put back in a later place in the queue.

So I'm still in the dark, confused and shaking. I didn't expect it to feel like this - I expected dizzy hysteria, maybe that's still to come?
