Just an update on the online payment of RPRF. I had sent a letter along with my RPRF receipt. This is the reply I got from LVO:

"We have recorded your letter arriving, which is now with our Finance Office for processing".

So at least this settles the matter. LVO does accept online payment of RPRF. But processing of payment could be a bit longer vs. bank draft.

Hello forumites
I raised a CSE to CDD on Monday if I could pay RPRF online and below is the reply I got today.

Good afternoon,

If you pay online please ensure that you submit a copy of your payment receipt as soon as possible as a scanned emailed attachment.

We received the requested forms.

The UK police certificates remain outstanding.

Regards,
CDD."

Its my opinion that LVO accepts online payment but I will likely use DD cos I have a feeling its processed or cashed easily compared to paying online which the VO has to track up and down different office or financial department.
I'm awaiting my UK PCC how best to send it to LVO? Suggestions please.
Congrats to everyone whose got updates and to those waiting your joy is just around the corner.
Cheers

Actually I raised 2 CSE... first on 2nd March where I get reply from LDimmigration that

"I can confirm that your application is pending review by an Immigration Officer. We will be in contact when there have been further developments with the processing of your file."

After exactly 2 months, i raised CSE again ... this time I got replied from LBM which is

"You were advised of the status of your application on 4 March 2014 (you have included the email in the string below). We have no further news for you at this time"

Furthermore, she added "Please do not send repeat status requests to this office. Your cooperation will be appreciated. We will contact you again as soon as we are able to. You need take no further action at this time."

from her reply I can clearly see that she was annoying and asked me in bold to do not send status request so I prefer to wait and see at least this year. lolzzzz

thanks a lot for your detail reply. So it took around 1.5 months after your e-case status turned into IN PROCESS. When you enquired in May, there was no update from your Last status. And total 4.5 months after first e-mail. So usually it takes 4-6 months , guess.
