Hi All,
I have been following this forum for a while and finally decided to make a contribution.
My timeline is as follows:
FSW-O (I am from LIthuania but live in the UK with extensive travel history)
AOR: June 24
MEP: July 29
BIL: August 16
PPR: October 31
Visa Office: Not sure as I never called and my GCMS notes are weeks away (ordered October 10) but I have to submit my Photos to London, UK so I'm guessing that's my VO.
I did have a Ghost Update on the 31st of July (Received email saying my profile has been updated but upon login, nothing had changed). I believe I also had one today (no email other than PPR) but upon login the status of my application said "Updated" but nothing had actually changed.
One thing that I thought may affect the timeline of my application was the fact that I applied from the UK but submitted by Biometrics in Vietnam as I was travelling there at the time. Really pleased that it didn't and AOR to PPR took just over 4 months.
I am no expert in this field but if you have any questions, please drop me a line or something and I will try to answer as best as I can.
Regards
Sarunas
