You are right about that, but it is really out of my understanding how they go about applications? I mean people who applied later are getting their PPRs and we are just waiting here since 8 months with literally no update at all. And on top of that, LVO doesn't bother to reply to the email. I guess I am just over thinking but it really is very frustrating.
Same happened with me, i got PPR after 8.5 months and somebody got PPR in 6.5 months.

Guys I know exactly how you feel at the moment, however you should consider two things at the moment to stay positive:

1) LVO has finally woken up from their deep sleep and the month of May saw the maximum number of DMs till now.

2) I think they have a mid year cut off so they will try to finalise maximum applications by 30th June. Same happened last year as a lot of people got DMs before June 30.

The dry period that caused people to wait 9-11 months has finally ended..IA those waiting will hear good news soon.
I really hope so... I have applied since August 2016 and till date have only been asked to do re-medical again in May. It has been 10 months now. Its just really frustrating..... I sent them an inquiry email yesterday so let's see what happens. Hoping for the best IN SHA ALLAH

Thank you - I don't know how to look for the date for ECAS. Help plz!
This is the date when the principal applicant status on ECAS changed from "Application received" to "In Process".
If you dont remember this, click on "In process" and look for date on ECAS that says "we started processing your application on xxxx date".

Is this the same date that we call sponsor approval date?

NO.

SA date is when sponsor received letter from CIC in which it's mentioned that sponsor is approved and now application is transferred to London visa office for processing.

Hi, can you please provide exact dates including the date your application was received at CPC-M.

The person at the VFS counter took out my stuff from the envelope as they need to see your pasport and pictures letter.
Dont seal it and no need of writing anything, vfs will drop it to the embassy themselves

Hi,
As I mentioned on Facebook, please check the instructions on the signature page. For me, it allowed me to just type the name as an electronic signature and then validate. Maybe yours says the same?
