While I was following a CIC official from NDVO on LinkedIn, applicants asked him certain queries on ECU and he replied back positively. I myself have come across this queries for quite some time, but didn't get any concrete answers. Here is the link
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/SELDEC-4-2932885.S.138075000
Hope this will help many applicants.... :) :) :) :)

The 1st Query:
Lets share thoughts about "SELDEC 4".
Normally when SELDEC 4 are entered?
Why SELDEC 4 is entered rather then SELDEC 1?
How secure SELDEC 4 is as compared to SELDEC 1?
Answer:
A 4 never changes to 1. The 1 is entered after an interview, the 4 means interview waived. Overwhelmingly, the 4 entered by the analyst tends to stand and the interview is waived. It is simply an administrative way to code things.

The 2nd Query:
I am MI-1 applicant from NDVO and waiting for medical, recently my processing is started. Many applicants are claiming as per GCMS notes that their file are located at ECU. Could you please enlighten us what is this ECU dept, someone told us that its a backlog elimination dept, can you please throw some light how it works.
Thanks !
Answer:
The ECU is nothing secret or sinister. The letters stand for Economic Class
Unit, as opposed to for instance the Family Class Unit, etc.

The 3rd Query:
May I ask if you have an idea regarding this 6-12 months letter send by London VO. appreciate your response.
Answer:
As I have never worked in London, I can't comment on it.
