I got BIL yesterday

ECAS says DM now

No MR or SA letter
My SA e-mail took a few days to arrive after DM in ECAS. Still waiting for medical, I got BIL almost a month ago. Also my ECAS / GCKey seems to not be updating... nothing saying "we sent you BIL....." or "we sent you SA..."

Yes sometime it takes time for SA email. Mine status was changed to DM in ECAS last week. I'm yet to receive any communication regarding that. We got medical request though.

Once it gets to NDVO your ecas will change to APPLICATION RECEIVED. Within days for some and weeks for others it will then go to IN PROCESS for PA. Some offices will send an email AOR2. We got one from HK and gckeys also had tje message in it. After that they will run background check and also eligibility for pa. That is whether the relationship is genuine in their eyes. If all is smooth you would receive in most cases pre arrival letter and DM under PA.

Hi, we had submitted my husband’s outland application in july 4 or 5. Didnt not receive our application for 7 months. ButJust got our biometrics Instructions letter yesterday as our consultant contacted me yesterday and sent me that BIL letter to forward it to my husband in india to get it done.
any ideas how long it will take now bcz we still need medical request?
also, once biometrics and medical is done, any time frame for passport requests since its been already 7 months?

No haven't received any email from NDVO. I have been reading threads that they move Applications to diff VO. Is it still happening with NDVO? Let's see what happens!

This makes me feel better. Because I checked my ECAS yesterday and I saw Decision made for Sponsor's approval and my husband hasn't gotten any mail. I guess we'll wait.
But I have already done Biometrics and medicals for a TRV I applied for that was refused. Please what do you think I should I expect after getting the sponsor's approval mail since I already did biometrics and medicals. What's the next thing for me?
Thanks

Next will or shouls be SA letter sent to sponsor email. This should tell you which VO its going to for PA. After that in ecas it will show APPLICATION RECEIVED. Once processing starts it will change to processing. Followed by PRE ARR, DM, PPR.

I got BIL yesterday

ECAS says DM now

No MR or SA letter
Hi. ECAS went to DM on Tuesday afternoon. Sponsor received email less than an hour later. I received BIL on Monday but still hoping to get MR by the end of the week. It seems that there is no particular order in which they are sending stuff out. Fingers crossed that I will get something soon with regards to medical cause I really would like to just make one trip to do both meds and bio.
