Wash an,

10-12 days back i have raised cse got same standard reply, your file is under review. But it has "RFI" intials.

Does it mean that my file is under RFI?? If, yes why they are giving same standard reply.

Thanks,
Yameen

For all those who are waiting for MR, i also feel that LVO is following the time frame of 6 months to review the file after PER. I got my GCMS and application review date is 30.06.2015 which is approximately 6 months after the PER. My VO is RFI.

lets pray they actually review it within this year..

On my GCMS notes, due date is 2015/03/07 and still i did not receive any info. CSE got standard reply. All those who received photo request are suffering with delays.

One more thing. My file location is showing as PA- PUT AWAY. Do you have any idea what does that means?

Dear All,

On my GCMS, application status showing PUT AWAY. I received pictures request in Feb 2015. I think all those who received photo request are facing delay and reason might be that they have put our files away and they will review them once they are done with other files or they might have a system date on which they will open the file again.

This is my personal thinking. I would be happy to read others opinion.

Regards,

Yes. RFI is a VO and probably has your file. Standard reply means no review done yet or waiting for background checks.

A lot of Dec/Jan PER files are in PA status which means either sitting idle and gathering dust or background checks are in process. There are apps where photo was also requested but they have got MR.

Status PA Put Away or PREC 106 Screening

My main worry is that I got SLU updated on April 25th, then nothing happened after this.

Who is your VO ? Even after SLU,in some cases MR arrived in days and in some cases it took months.

Hi SK1123,

Thanks for your post, it was very helpful. If it's not too much trouble, can I request you to send me a PM with VO's PPR instruction letter copy-pasted. Also can you share the name and phone number of the Aramex person at Abu Hamour.

Would love to catch up over coffee! Which part of town are you in? I work / live in West Bay.

Cheers,
prash42

It's 5 pages instruction in pdf which includes up to deadline for first entry to Canada so accept my apology for not being able to copy pest instruction letter.

I live around education city Al Gharafa. I will PM you my number

How did you conclude 6 months?

It was mentioned clearly as follow :

Due Date: 2015/06/15

I received my PER on 2015/01/20. I hope it is clear how i calculated the 6 months period.

Due date keeps changing its not that it was 6 months since begining may be they deffer d review on multiple due dates and the next due date is june 15, and its still not guaranteed that they will start processing on this one as well. In my GCMS notes my due date was April 17 but no updates as of yet

Hi guys!
My husband and applied from Pakistan under NOC 4214 (I am the principal applicant) in December 2014 and they received the application on 19th December. We received our PER on 9th March, 2015 and the application has now been transferred to the London Visa Office. We have heard nothing since.
When should we expect to hear back?
