One question is the decision made status always a positive decision or can be negative also. And why the suspense in the last decision its like being in a game show not knowing the result unless the envelope has been opened. The waiting is intolerable...
As a general rule of thumb:
- Decision made AFTER medicals+passports sent = APPROVED
- Decision made PRIOR to medicals = REJECTED
This will cover 99.99% of circumstances, but I have read of at least 1 applicant who got rejection after passports, as a result of an interview.
I think you are unlikely also to be rejected outright between medicals and passport requests, unless you have a disease which is a threat to public safety (HIV etc). If the reason for the medicals is that a condition would cause excessive demand, then usually I think visa office write to you and ask you to demonstrate how you will fund an demand in excess usual NHS levels.
I imagine the gap between decision made and receiving visa is the worst one, since you are SOOO nearly there, but not quite!
