VCM ignored my first medical extension request, so maybe email DRD again so he is reminded to reply to you. Yes unbelievable our files have gone untouched for this long...

Yes, I asked if they could extend and VCM confirmed they did. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad sign though. I worry it means they are a long way from processing my file so they know they require that extension.

@Reykhan Hello both, I received a response below. Extension but file STILL not had even INITIAL review... o_O Dear Sir/ Madam, I have already requested the extension of your medical and it has been extended to 2019/03/27. Your application is still awaiting initial review with an officer...

Thanks, I have emailed them now because mine has just expired. Hopefully they provide extension for us both

I thought my background checks and processing would be easier given I am in London UK, but clearly not! No special treatment for us lol

are you UK citizen though? They may be giving you hard time if you are non-UK citizen living in UK

no i mean which visa officer - EXP, VCM, KKB etc?

Congratulations! What is your AOR?

Depends on which visa office you case is processed in. If you are unlucky enough to be sent to London you can expect 6-8 month average processing time!

Hi @BillHyatt do you know if unexplained overlapping education and employment is a reason for refusal? i just submitted a CSE with an LOE explaining that my Master's degree overlaps with my employment by a few months. This was because by the time I started that employment I had no more classes...

Congrats!! What is your AOR and stream?

Hi @BillHyatt , I got a reply today from VCM saying my file is still awaiting review - does this mean it is open or unopened. Any guess on how long the wait could be from here? AOR 1 Nov, IP2 27 Feb, no ADRequest as of yet. Thanks,

Does anyone know if there's a link between medical expiry/request and movement on a file? I am really hoping that when my medical expires (April 12th) it could trigger some progress. I have had complete silence on my application since AOR 1 Nov. I'm wondering if they would maybe request a new...
