Since we all are being handled by same VO and we all have same time lines until MR, so based on Jigzzy's GCMS notes presumably it was initiated with MR. Noting holds them to wait for your MR results to be uploaded to initiate S/C checks.

Normally VO's either send before MR, or with MR (our case).

All the best. :)
Thanks Buddy,

Stay Blessed

Yup Schdule A.....which we provided during interview .....what I notice in 2013 applicants they start after medical request .........and one more thing i notice....if applicant is a women then security clearance comes very much fast .....I know of a girl whose interview was next day to me ...visa officer did not collect her Schedule A .........after he asked with Medical request and specific wrote to her please scanned and send us schedule A as soon as possible so that we can start background check so she received medical request right after one month ........

Hi Soundless,

if visa officer took updated application forms from you at the the time of interview .... then most probably they started security checks from March....

and you should have update not later than july.... (its my opinion)

Out of curiosity, why do people send CSE to know the status of the processing? While LVO has clearly mentioned that they will not provide any status update if the processing is within timeline (which is around 24 months whatever) and it is clear from earlier replies by LVO that asking for status update doesn't help much.

As my fellow forum member msaeed rightly says: Wait with Faith.
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/faq.aspx?lang=eng#sk3

"I have submitted the documents that you asked for. Why haven't I heard from you yet"?

"Due to the large amount of documents received at our office, it may take 4 months or more for incoming documents to be reviewed and for the next step to be taken in your immigration application. Please do not contact the office for at least 120 days after you have submitted new information as repeated letters and e-mails only slow the process".


Whether the update given by LVO helps or not, I feel u have to still make enquiry.

Did you receive email confirmation from LVO that they are in receipt of your email? (the generic one). I think that should be enough.
Although I have submitted the documents as requested in PPR1 both through Email & Courier.

Probably they are right, it may slow the process or they deliberately do this, anyway.
I have raised only one CSE (to inform LVO about my newborn), they replied sharply not within days, but within hours with what information/documents I need to submit. Alhamdulillah, I am at PPR2 waiting stage with no worries in my mind.

I just confirmed from my consultant (he finally answered his cell phone) that there was never a request for PPR1 from LVO. They simply went ahead to PPR2 and asked for my passport to be submitted to their embassy in Riyadh.

It has been two weeks now waiting for the passport.... he said it will take 15-30 working days...

Dear Mate

Security and Background checks are initiated when processing on file starts.
This all depends upon luck how quickly it is done , as VO are dependent upon information from third parties , unless Security Checks are completed , system does not move ahead .

It better to get MR after these checks , in many cases Back ground checks are done before issuing MR , and many of us have got PPR after 1 month of medicals.

I got PPR-1 after 22 days

Stay Blessed
