Hi
FYI. I wrote to SGVO yesterday about the upfront medical (whether we can do it and how should we notify). They replied that the application now is queued for review and will advise about the next course of action. They said that they will not provide any further information and asked to wait. Not sure whether this is a standard default response.
I am a Jan17 paper based SINP applicant, got FT mail in May17.
I think this is standard reply.
I also asked the same thing in early October.
They did not answer my questions directly. I also asked about upfront medical, payment of RFPR, etc.
They only mentioned that my application is pending for review by an officer.
Similar to what I received when my file was transferred in SGVO in May 2017.
I just talked to someone from the Philippines...under SINP.
He got his nomination in Jan 2017, submitted the PR application after.
His medical was done in Sept 2017, background check done.
Just waiting for PPR.
Although I'm from MPNP, I really find SGVO so slow.
I think our application is somehow on hold.
I dont think that MR request would require more than 6 months after file transfer unless there is a "hold order" internally.
My only hope is that when next year's quota refreshes, our application would be the first in the list.
