Hi Aspire,
You and me seem to be on same boat. For my ecase they never changed to received by VO. They just mentioned started processing. Please le me know if you received any further communication from them. But they are very slow in sending medical request if all goes well.
They actually sent me a document request on May 6, 2010. They asked for spouse's bachelors degree certificate and transcript of records. These documents were already sent to them 10 months ago. And OP6 guide clearly mentions that once the processing has begun (in process in e cas), it does mean that review was completed, and full application and supporting documents were filled correctly and found complete. Another London applicant from November 2008 was asked as well with additional documents which according to him he had submitted that document already together with the full application.
I received the document request on May 26, 2010 and in June 2, 2010 complied to their request. Until today, I don't hear anything from London. It seems to me that London CHC is trying to justify the delays of some applications by re asking already submitted documents. They are mandated by CIC minister to process new applications in 6-12 months time.
