1) I requested notes in November 2013 received 44 pages but nothing seems to have started.

2) Not sure if file is still in Islamabad Pakistan or been transferred to London Office.

3) Since receiving AOR ON JULY 2012, we have not received any single letter of any sort. No medical requests or Further Documents. Very afraid of what's going on and what will happen, or how long will it take.

However, Marium Rizwan being in middle (November 2012 case) is not in London ... you can't even make a head or tail how this is going forward .... I sincerely doubt they follow first in first out ... its like give the officer a batch and its his/her discretion which one to choose ...

My case is November 2012 as well.
Honestly think of it this way, what if it stayed in pakistan bc it is almost done and they didn't see it necessary to send out applications that are almost already complete?

I called cic call center and they said mine transferred to New Delhi on February 15th, 2014
