Got the same request on Oct 6, all documents submitted by Oct 20, no response till now, the email clearly said, you should allow 4 months for the verification after you submit the requested documents
Try to raised CSE and ask about the confirmation of documents received and also about the status of the applicant

Meanwhile It will be better if you order GCMS notes which may have bundle of updates for you as it is almost one month after submission of documents.

Any comments please. .......

PER Received in January, 2015
Visa Office : LVO
Visa Officer : RFI

Raised CSE 2 times and got the same reply " your file is awaiting review and if any additional documents required we will in touch with you "
Got GCMS NOTES, in the NOTES due date was 15th september, 2015 (but nothing happened on this date)

again raised CSE 2 times after 15th september and got the same reply.
Got the second NOTES, Second due date is 30th December, 2015

The status is PA PUT AWAY.
ELIGIBILITY : Not started
Criminality : Not Started
security : Not started
Medical : Not started

What does it means, that the visa officer hasn't touched the file yet or some processing going on in the background?

The ECAS STATUS shows three line
Received application
started processing
Transfer file to LVO

Reply will be appreciated. ......
Thanks

Dear INAM,

I even received PER in December and nothing yet. Although I have received Additional DOCS request in August. Still no Idea. I know this is frustrating especially with RFI. We all are his victims. See the list maintained by RAZA KHAN, only 3 or may be 4 visas. Now we can only do is to pray. Many plans are held, Many hopes are attached but RFI doesn't care. Now all RFI victims can pray for completion of process at least. Keep your hopes high. Sit tight miracles happen and we should hope for miracles now.

Regards

HY ALL:

Keeping in view the past examples in which applicants were asked for documents particularly documents like: ( salary slips and/or bank statements, tax returns, NTN number of employer) , what has been the decision in most cases?

thnx

Dear Sam

RFI conducted your interview on 4/10/2014 in Abu Dhabi. Why your interview was conducted and how was your interview experience?

Raza
My VO/PA Is not RFI. Clearly indicated in my timeline too :)

My interview experience was great and few questions were asked to understand job role.

Regards SAM
