e-cas is updated simultaneously with sending the test letter?

[iman773]

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask if the e-cas for the test letter is updated simultaneously when the applicants receive the test letter by post. In fact, is it possible that the e-cas does not show but they have sent the letter. I have recently changed my address and worried if they send the letter to my previous address. I have changed my address in e-cas. By the way my timeline:

Application received: Dec.2012
ROA: Dec.2012
Start Process: Jan 2013

Thanks

Isn't it too early to think about test letter since the process started on January?

Just want to know regardless of my timeline

on an average it takes 15-19 months before you will get a test date...that is a regular process time but if u get a rq then its a real long road

Sorry, I am not asking about the timeline! I am just asking if the e-cas is updated instantly after they send the test letter by post? Is there a senior member to answer?

Thanks a lot
