London Visa Office, second-half-of-June applicant here (not in the spreadsheet). We are very happy to share that we've just received the Passport Request letter. The online status changed to Decision Made. It looks like we're nearing the end of the process. (8.5 months from application submitted to "Decision made").
All of you have been great in sharing your progress here. We've followed you anonymously and felt your joys and impatience every step of the way. Thank you for sharing. This post is our way of giving back.
Other info:
AOR: end of July
Schedule A / Medical: first week August
Sponsor Approval: September 2017
Additional documents: Feb 2018
Decision Made: the first week of March 2018
We have always felt IRCC was working on our application. Based on experiences of others around us, we expected eight months for the total process. Our file took slightly longer because of the request for additional documents. That's ok. We are here now.
