Yes u r right. even in my case i did remed in aug-12 n after remed it took 4 month to get PPR that 4 month was not as tough and stressing as this POST PPR phase.
Its 45 days since PP sent but no update that driving me crazy.
I see a few cases like this ,they receive PP without decision made on ECASE.
Mine is also "In Process".
If u see recent visa issued cases ,they mostly have first decision made on ecase then they received PP.
Despite the fact, i d'nt get my stamped PP yet but still i feel a lot of happiness & calm bcz CHC-I is working on old cases.Bcz old cases deserve priority. May all old cases get their visa sooon. Ameen.
