Thanks.
So I finally advanced to IP2. I was advised I cleared eligibility review on 29th May. Apparently, I have also passed Criminality and Security. I only just found out about this as I stopped checking the portal daily. It was killing my moral to see no movement. Consequently, I'm unsure what dates I started and cleared the criminality/security phases but I do know but it was after May 29th and before yesterday June 6th.
So basically I have cleared Eligibility, Criminal and Security now which is good news. I was told that they are now determining whether or not to extend my medical or request a re-medical. Medical is due to expire the last week of July. Apparently, the request for a decision on this was issued May 29th. Looking over the last few pages of this thread this seems to be happening to a lot of us now. I see some people getting re-medical requests and others such as tapiwakaiser getting theirs extended (congrats on your PPR tapiwakaiser!). Does anyone know what their criteria is for deciding between an extension or re-medical request? Obviously, its good news for me either way, just hoping to avoid further delay.
