My file transfer was July 4, so hope soon u get some good news too! But even if they give pre arrival, it seems it takes time to do background check.

I don't think background checks are done in London. That was not the case in my application. BGC was completed in Sydney, NS.

Thank u for sharing you are the lucky one, I think some cases may be done in Sydney, but not all. My background is in London, lawyer confirmed, because I have biometrics only after file transfer and also requested pcc there......... so many waiting for months up to half a year even to go though background check in London. Good luck to u in Canada wonder why they asked u to land so fast?!

I agree with the bio-metric thing that you mentioned. My BGC was completed in Sydney as per the GcKey. My file was sent to London for eligibility check and final processing.

Good luck to u in Canada wonder why they asked u to land so fast?!

I have no idea. Maybe to be on the safe side; I don't see any hard and fast rule anywhere. My COPR says that it expires on 10th of Feb i.e. the day my medical tests expire....

We got similar timeline
You already connected mp even though it’s not 12 months yet?
I received biometrics in August too together with pre arrival and request for pcc.... just waiting one month now.

so means they still did not touch your file? Or what does it mean about file....

I have no Idea, it possibly means they haven’t touched it.... at Least you are a head of me by getting your pre arrival letter . Just praying hoping something soon time line is 54 days

I don’t know about being ahead. Because seems like London don’t do fast background check. for me 42 days left now, just hope to get something this year at least....
anyway, may I ask u, did U connect mp right now? They didn’t say anything about: why u connect us since it’s not even 12 months?
I hold fingers crossed for decision made soon for us all

Only reason why I connected to MP was to show support. Plus I am from a small town so it was easy to get in touch. Yes they have said it’s too soon to do anything because it’s under the 12 months. Sometimes though I get some extra information when they do the inquiry like I found out his criminality was done . I’ll keep you posted if anything

Hi guys, I am a Nov 21st applicant with file transferred to London visa office on 02 July and AOR 2 on 05 July.

Having heard nothing since, I decided to order the GCMS notes and put a case specific enquiry via the webform on 01 Sep. I received the GCMS notes yesterday from which I concluded my file was 'Put Away' in London visa office. As per the notes, eligibility, criminality and security had not started, which meant the file was basically put aside. However, the notes were generated on 5th September which meant any latest updates would have been missed out.

However, this morning I got a reply to my case specific enquiry via webform and the immigration officer confirmed that eligibility had been passed but criminality and security were still pending, meaning it would have been done only after 05 September. They also said that they couldn't provide an estimate of when the other two would be completed.

Does anyone know how long do they take to do criminality and security after passing eligibility?
