View of ECAS. Mostly ECAS everyone applcation status who received PER shows IN PROCESS. From the above i could understand "IN PROCESS means the file recived @ visa office and eligibility review complete. But when we click in the ECAS the underlined "IN PROCESS" shows "YOUR APPLICATION RECEIVED FOR PERMANANT RESIDENC ON xx/xx/xxxx. Anyone can clear the difference. I am confused, is ECAS status misleading?
