Nowhere that info is available... however, someone/somewhere pinned it to a max 21 months... authenticity of which is unknown.

Nope... regretfully!
It just means that the VO didn't find any anomaly in your case file [vis-a-vis your claimed edn, exp & marital status]... however, it's not a situation to be complacent... an interview might be called anytime later as well... till u get the PRVs [besides, there is also something called a 'security interview'] -- keep your fingers Xed, buddy.

Dear Raafia . chc london response is very positive for u. bcoz they mentioned tht ur bg check is in queue to b reviewed by immigration officer. that means probably ur background checks r over nd as soon as visa officer formally reviews it u will b through. u should hv worried if they hv mentioned tht ur background checks are awaited. so relax and just pray. rest qorax can be of more help.

Hi Qorax,
I got the line" Your file is reviewed and started processing on 21/04/2011."
So when shall I expect MR from the date of processing?
Any Idea?

Pls explain.
1. B/ground checks r done by the CIC alone, with the help of the 'local' VO staff.
2. For Security Checks - the help of CSIS is obtained.

Hi Qorax,
Thanks for your reply.
I applied in Feb,2010 and my FTD is march,2010 and full docs submitted in april, 2010.
I got In process with RBVO details in Feb,2011 and the processing started on 21/04/2011.
So do I have to count 6 months from 21/04/11 for MR, as u said that it could take about 6 months from the processing commencement.
Please elaborate.
Thanks.
