my ecas showed "we have received your application on 5 august'. this was on Wednesday (3rd Dec) when I first time accessed my ecas. when I checked my ecas today it shows 2nd and 3rd line updated. 2nd line says "we have started processing your application on 2nd dec". the next line says "the decision has been made on your application and office will contact you.."..
though decision made kind of suggest that my application has been refused, but I am wondering if 2nd and 3rd lines are even correct data entries because 1)- as per my consultant, they have not received PER email yet. if they were to reject my application I would not have even gotton status of acknowledgement of receipt of my application 2)- from various posts on this forum, I understand that the 2nd line is updated once the file is in local visa office'. As I am 5th august and if first entry was correct, then it means it will take few weeks to update second line. 3)- though there can be timing difference in between data entry/update of ecas and the actual events, the 2nd dec update on 6th dec may also suggest an error (as this entry may be for another applicant whose file has received at local visa office) 4)- in any case, I was reading the guidelines below the 3rd line (clicked applications received at cio - Sydney, I understand that decision made means 'negative', as well 'positive'. from readings on this forum I understand that decision made only comes at the last stage of the process, so 'dm' right at the start of the process is rejection? The definition of DM as per ecas is (1 is not applicable, but do you think I could fall under 2 or even 3 if they consider some additional documentation is required):
1- Medical Results Received by CIC
We have received your medical results. We will contact you only if additional tests are needed.
2- Approval Status Determined
Your application will be either approved or rejected. We will inform you of the decision in writing.
3- Permanent Residence Status Determined
If your application is approved, we will send you your permanent resident documentation and a letter saying what we need to finalize your permanent residence.
appreciate guidance/input into this.
Thank you and best regards
