Dear Friends,
I am an applicant of April 2004. I have done my medicals in October 2011 and re-medicals for spouse and son in January 2012. I sent an email to London office and received following reply.
"Dear Applicant,
In response to your email, please note that your file is currently undergoing routine background checks. Whilst we appreciate that your medical examination results are due to expire on 13-10-2012, we are currently unable to advise when the checks will be completed.
Please note that no further action is required from you at this stage. We will contact you as soon as the results of the background checks have been received."
Almost 5 months have been passed to medicals and still waiting for PPR. How much it takes for routine background checks and what is difference between routine background checks and security checks.
