Hi friends
Should we call and inquire about status of our RESIDENCY APPLICATION or is it bad to do that?

Harry if you had to call,you could have done it quietly and gotten away with it.Now when everybody will reach a consensus of calling the programs ,you will have to bear the flak for instigating this mass movement.

In my view at this stage it is bad to do that.Imagine a program director who is already angry over his wife for feeding him Stuffed live tadpoles in breakfast;what will he feel and say when you call the poor guy.

Agree with laptop. if you want to do it, do it quietly to avoid mass movement.

Problem is you will talk with me. And I have received 97 other phone calls from applicants who want information or status. If I am downloading, I can't give you a status. I can only download.

Patience.

Heeheh. bbb i was trying to make your job easy by injecting some reluctance into candidates who want to call and ask..On a personal note , I would never dare to call a PD who is upset over eating a live stuffed Tadpole
