Hi!! Have you applied from Egypt? I applied from Egypt on 7 August, recieved the Biometrics insturction letter on 20 August and then funny enough, I recieved the Medical Examination Instruction letter on 14 September and 4 days later then sent me an email informing me that I am not required to go for medical examination and that they shared that letter earlier by mistake. Last week I recieved Stage 1 letter. I understandfrom the forum here that they are cleary witholding stage two approvals on purpose, however, I am confused in our case (Egyptians applying from Egypt) how would they run a background check if we did not submit police clearance certificates (and probably won't).
