the delay in giving PER to september applicants is inconsistent with wht happened at the end of July. from the spread sheet it is obvious tht there are assessment cases for august which got PER/NER before some july applicants. so it doesnt make any sense as to why september is delayed so much.
Secondly in our spreadsheet there are 98 registered case of PER whereas august has just 30 odd applications. so technically august shud have been closed much quickly compared to july. with refernce to our spreadsheet july took 89 days to close whereas august has taken 120 days so far. mayb all this doesnt mean a thing but its very inconsistent for the first two months of MI3.

Quite logical !

Yes there is.
When file is received by CIO it is opened and date is stamped on the front page of the IMM008 form on the very same day.
So it is clear they open the package when it is delivered to them but they do not process it.
Processing is done date wise.

So when CIO sees that the received file if of PhD category they process it bypassing the fsw1 applicants..........

Hi guys
Its been a while since my last visit to this thread & the spread sheet
OMG so much has changed and so many new members
The spread sheet is so colorful with all the updates in status
Congrats to all who got PER, AOR & MR and a special congrats to Zelda82 on finalizing the Medicals, wish to all of us to get the same swift progress.
Looks like the process is going to be much faster than used to be and I hope that all Visa offices will be as fast as Manila, Colombo & Paris
For those who unfortunately got NER, wish you better luck next time, don't give up and re-apply as soon as possible, there is one applicant on our local forums who got NER for lack of some documents, he got the needed documents and re-applied within a month of NER - that is the spirit
Not forgetting our admins, you guys are great with out you we will be lost, great job, well done.

Unfortunately I have no updates on my status from my ecas it still reads
We received your application for permanent residence on July 5, 2011.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on September 8, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
This even though I got AOR from VO a couple of month ago - Oct 4th and ecas shows "In Process" since Oct 9th after showing RBVO for about a week.
Is the normal? when should I expect MR?
I tried to look on different spread sheets but I could not get a good indication as to times of the Tel-Aviv VO – I would appreciate any input on the matter.

Also I had a recent look as to the meaning of the ecas status, I'm not sure but there seems to be some change mainly in "In Process" plz guys have a look

Welcome back dear Alex.
 
Vumax....could you please tell us dear if your BD had been charged already? And if so, on which date? This will help us a lot in understanding the process of CIC.

Thanks much in advance.

You can send them a personal message. So even if they are not regulars in the forum, they will rcv your PM in their mail inbox. So you might be able to garner some responses this way.

All the best!

Thank you.

With this file number I can check my ECAS! and my status is "In Process" and when I click it, shows "We received your application for permanent residence on August 26, 2011. "
But no PER mail till now! I am awaiting for it.
Good luck!
