LONDON Visa Office Applicants....Lets connect here

[jjttbb2019]

Hope this background checks will end soon for all of us.
Since May our files are stuck under background checks...

Though this famous background check is quite the part in the over-all processing, the sense of getting PPR (In Sha Allah) after that is keeping me relieved in this whole tiresome wait...

Really hoping and praying that we all get PPR asap... all the best guys!

Hi All,

Did anyone whose file is in London Visa Office received GCMS recently? How long did it take for you to get them? 55 days passed but we still did not get ours. We even got a priority ticket raised but still not update yet.

Hi, is there any whatsup group for paper based application.

as per LVO 28th August, my file was pending review by an immigration officer. And then I saw “application updated” on my CIC account on 7th October. My bg check status also changed to “ we are processing your bg check”(my bg check has changed for third time). Nothing after that. Any idea what it is ?
PS: my gcms notes are also delayed, they’ve asked for 90 day extension, so ive no clue what’s going on

there can be two scenarios:

1- Your case got approved or
2- Your security check got started after eligibility passed

Normally, when file got approved and background check is processing, it takes around 10 days or sometimes more for PPR to land in account...based on the case at London Visa Office I witnessed...
If no PPR and considerable period i.e. over a month is gone at background check processing, then the second scenario is more likely valid.

Allow sometime, this will become evident

So this is true that ppr email takes from 6-20 days to generate. I find it unsettling as even my gcms notes have been extended for 90 days and i have no way to find out what exactly is going on
