Been a silent member for a while...pls to say I've got PPR yesterday! It actually happened quite smoothly for us!
Here is my timeline:
NSPNP Outland
AOR 10Jan16
Schedule 4a request 13Jan16, submit same day
Medical upfront
RPPRF 18Mar16
PPR 12APR16
Visa office:London
So in short, around 3 months turnaround! I don't notice my background check status changed, at least I think only have 1 ghost email early on in the application.
Thanks so much for all the help from this forum, happy to answer any questions if I can help!
