Congratulations to him....but this is very disappointing from LVO.

When many May - June Applicants are waiting, how a July application is processed first skipping May & June?
Yeah, I know this is disappointing for us May applicants but what more can we do other than wait. I want to say that the responses received so far from some applicants as per CSE to LVO are standard emails and may not reflect true situation of your application. Vo's are never specific as to the exact date they will process applications. So, guys don't take it seriously.

MAY & JUNE APPLICANTS RAISE CSE NOW
---------------------------------------------------------------

May & June applicants (those not called for interview) my suggestion is to raise CSE now, and then another one on your submission anniversary date.

LVO SHOULD KNOW THAT MAY & JUNE APPLICANTS ARE NOT SLEEPING & WELL WARE OF THE PROMISE COMMITTED BY THE MINISTER AND GUIDELINES OF PROGRAM FSW-2013 ACCORDING TO WHICH ALL CASES WILL BE PROCESSED WITHIN ONE YEAR,

SO RAISE CSE NOW AND ASK FOR YOUR CASE STATUS OR WAIT AND DO NOTHING AND WATCH JULY , AUGUST APPLICANTS CLEARING THE PROCESS LIKE NDVO.

You will get a standard reply, but they will realise that May & June applicants are not sleeping! So do it now.

Bro, we can raise CSE atleast, so raise CSE and get a Standard reply, and then raise CSE again on your application anniversary.
Waiting is not the only option when we all can raise CSE.


Approach is simple, try instead of wait and watch...........If all raise CSE and get a standard reply, then I am sure in Visa Officer's meetings they will discuss it that now May and June applicants are raising CSE and they are more concerned as their one year time line is going to finish. They will focus May and June then for sure.

Sir

My friends and cousins who filled applications after 1 year of mine , in my stream , are Canadian PR , and one of them have completed his Two Years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Minister promised us 8 to 12 months!!!!!

Bhai , enjoy your time

Stay Blessed
I agree, if they gave us timeline one year and they promised it, then we have all the right to ask our status as one year is around the corner.
I am sorry, but if they don't keep their promise than they have to reply for my CSEs every month and send me standard replies :p.
As waiting and watching is not an option specially after crossing the deadline...............I will push it hard whether it worked or not.

There is no harm asking status. A standard CSE to get a standard reply as follows, so push it now, as in May all May applicants will raise CSE's for sure, but it won't be useful at that time.

Sample CSE

/Dear Sir,
My application was received at CIO on .....May, 2013. It has been around 10 months since I received Positive Eligibility email on ...........July, 2013. Considering the time passed, I wanted to inquire about the next step in the process. Please let me know if there's anything pending at my end.

Also confirm the receipt of my PCC & other documentation sent on ........

Thank You./

Ask about your status or wait and watch ;) (Guys don't be scared for nothing; you are not committing any sin nor violating any law ;) :-* it is your right)

Ask about your status or wait and watch.
Instead of asking "what's left on my part", change the question to, we'd like to know how is London Visa Office is going to keep promise of Minister for completing the applications with in 1 year when our year is ending in 2 months time. It is becoming a concern for me as a prospective Permanent Resident and Skilled Person in the Shortage field. etc

So instead of getting generic reply, make them re-think the answer to satisfy you.

Example::

My Email to LVO on December 4th, 2013


Hi, I am FSW 2013 applicant and it's been over 130 days since my file received at London Visa Office after PER from CIO. How long do you think on average would it take to hear from London Visa Office for any update? Considering neighbouring visa offices (Paris, Warsaw etc) are issuing medicals and visas already. I am not pressing, but would love to hear your idea of the time for the overall procedure. Thank you.

Got reply::

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your email of December 4, 2013.

Please be advised that your file is with an immigration officer for review. Once the review is complete in the early part of 2014, you will receive further instructions at that time.

Yours sincerely,

JMR


-----------

And Yes, in Mid January, I [with many others] got Interviews. So I hope if LVO has any plans, they will disclose it.

Ya jigzyy, I thought about that but then I realise that VO will think that "I am trying to be smart and making him realise to wake up and finalise my case as the deadline is near" . So avoided that words.

But, I will raise CSE on anniversary and will use these words ;) and not only this I will give example of NDVO as well.
If they cross the deadline without any news, they will deal with tons of CSEs automatically.

Every time I will ask a question from LVO + my status, which they will not be able to ignore, or they will send me standard replies, but after the deadline I will keep reminding them that there is one mad guy who is WAITING and will keep sending CSEs ;). Process my case or we will play CSE....CSE :-*

I don't think it's "smart" what matters, it's the right of the applicant that matters.

Yes jiqzyy, you are absolutely right......I know what you are saying. I will get this "right" power once they cross the deadline, and there is one month left, so waiting for it. Let them cross the deadline with out any info and we will see many will raise CSEs and use their right.

"May" applicants are clam but if the deadline passes without any info, every one will use their "Right" quoting examples of NDVO, asking timelines, tentative MR dates etc etc.

Planning to write CSE of 1499 words on my application anniversary ask for supplement space if required ;) .

Yes it is true... Really in disappointing phase...Frustration is at the peak... If they had not promised for 1 year, we might had not built all these assumptions and hopes that we will get PR in 1 year. Everyone built hopes on their false promises (at least on part of LVO and few other VOs)... Hats off to NDVO which is handling a major part of applicants and almost they reached till Nov/Dec to issue visas...everyone has planned thousands of things ibut LVO people donot care... In the end we cant do anything except being frustrated or having patience, faith in God and keep praying from HIM...

Hello All

Just to inform, after 1 week or so I've checked my e-CAS today. I found that second line is added in my eCAS - We started processing your application..

Did anyone who had visa interview in march in London received the medical??
