I think the problem is that visa office will contact the application either when they have received the paper file and begun processing OR when they are ready to issue medicals, depending on which rumours you believe. But it's a pretty fair bet that they won't send a communication the moment they get the paper file.CanadaJimmy said:Has anyone's application reached the VO yet? It's been 50 days for some of the people at the top of the spreadsheet, and they can't just be stockpiling more than a few hundred applications to send them off in one go. Surely they must have been delivered by now considering the spreadsheet is 4% of all the Cat1 apps.
We're not sure exactly where our applications will slot into the queue at visa office but my best guess is that they will be behind all the other pre-June-26 applications which have got to the security/background check/medicals stage. Visa offices have had 6 months of no new FSW1 applications arriving, and now a very small intake, so hopefully this will have allowed them time to recover some of their backlog. However, there are almost certainly still some pre-June-26 (but post 2008) applications awaiting security checks so IMO we won't here anything until the visa offices get to look at our applications.
This I suspect will vary from visa office to visa office.
