ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnn .. allah aap ki zabaan mubarak karyeeeeee...... n may all ur wishes come true... n u hve a very happy life ahead.... ;D :D
 
Well its a relief to read on this forum that its not exactly 21 months but 18 months max, it would have been nicer if they kept it at 12 months max (Mai apne dil aur dimagh ko itne waqt k liye behla sakti hon but 16 months or more is way too much and waiting has been horrible)

Anyways, I have a question, what are they looking for in initial review, are they background checks, I mean what exactly are they reviewing?
In review itself, do they look at if the relationship is genuine? or do they do that during initial review?
I can't seem to understand the process properly.

I know we don't know for sure but any ideas?
 
First of all, congratulations to Hareer and Style! Bohot bohot mubarak ho :) Do keep us updated on how long they take to return your passport with visa :)

Danny, so this means i still count my AOR from Aug right? Sorry to sound so annoying but im so confused :s

See below, I posted this a while ago that might give you an idea...

Here is that previous reply from me:

Ok for people who think that they send same emails to everybody, here is an explanation hopefully this makes sense:

Yes it is a generic email that they send everyone, but they have generic email for every stage your file is in. For Instance:
1) Your file is in que for initial review
2) Your file is in que for review
3) Your file is in background checks
4) Your file is in que to be reviewed by a decision making officer

Admit it guys we have all seen all these replies, now let me explain in details

1) Your file is in que for initial review (you will keep receiving this reply until they look at your file for the first time after sending AOR ~9-12 months)
Once they do the initial review of the file, they look for missing documents. Does the file need extra supporting documents?? Does the marriage look genuine?? If in doubt they send a letter asking for missing/supporting documents they also send supplementary forms and a few other ones we have seen on this forum. They send a letter and put a Bring Forward date on the file. Until that date comes:
2) Your file is in que for review (On the bring forward date the file is opened and gets checked for what was requested and if things requested are there it goes to the next stage could be the background checks, verification of documents etc. If the documents requested are not there, they put another BF date on the file.)
3) Your file is in background check (You will keep receiving this generic message until the background checks are done)
Hopefully everything is done by now except the background check and they notice the medical is expired and so is the PCC, here is another letter requesting those.
After they have everything they needed, the file status is:
4) Your file is in que to be reviewed by a decision making officer. This is where they decide if the person needs to go through an interview or if the VO is convinced or the file to be rejected.

Then the letter is sent whether the file is refused ( with appeal instructions) , or Passport request for VISA to be stamped or an interview call.

So when they say that the file is in que for initial review yeah they are right that they havn't looked at your file even for the first time it could be even after 10 months. I am the example:
My wifes case started in Pakistan in March 2010, I requested Caips notes in November and saw nothing in there, no updates, no comments nothing it was still in their storage area. Then I emailed Islamabad on December 14th asking for the status, I received a reply on the 27th saying that the file is in que for initial review. So my wifes case has been sitting in their storage area since March untouched!!!! This is reality your file will not be opened until its time for it, no matter who you involve. No one can do anything to make it faster not even MPs.
I really hope this helps....The process I have explained is not 100% accurate, but its just to give you an idea about what's happening at the CHC-Islamabad.
 
Many congratulations to those companions who have received PPR request resent.

Any update in the ecase would trigger that tracker email.

Lately we have seen addressess disapearing/appearing on eCas. Alot of people have experienced that as soon as their address disappear or appear on ecas would shoot that email so see if the address is shown or removed from your eCas status.
