March 2012 applicants, join here! : )

Hello, my file was transferred to London on the 27th of June 2012. On average, dose anyone know how long it takes for the High Commission to update ECAS?? Three weeks on and nothing seems to change on it!? I believe Its a slim chance to get a AOR from them for stage 2.

No that isn't true. We got DM and then PPR.

Computergeek, just FYI there are two people in February who are seeing DM and still haven't gotten PPR. I think with FSW it is different.

It's definitely true that FSW and family sponsorship procedures differ - for FSW a DM without a PPR is a rejection OR an error in E-Cas. From what I can tell, E-Cas isn't very useful - it seems more about placating applicants to think something is happening on their application.

Ecas was useful for us. Whenever I saw a change something happened. AOR, PPR. It just depends I guess.

Hey Herjeet,

My file also got transferred to London and I am also trying to understand when they update ecas. The only thing that has changed for me (apart from being able to log in!) is that for now it says "medicals have been received".

From the UK thread it seems like there are not many contacts between the High Commission and the applicants, they just request passports or send COPR directly for visa-exempt....

the spreadsheet for London has not been updated for a while, so I am not sure, but it doesn't seem that they send AOR (apparently some VO do systematically, but London doesn't seem to be one of them). Also - the request the passport rather towards the end of the process, not at the beginning like others..

GOod luck - you're 3 weeks ahead of me more or less, so I'll be following your progress and hope for a smooth processing for both of us!

Cheers,
Sweden

Hey all.
I submitted an application around Mid march ( courier tracked the arrival at postal office in Miss.) since then, not a word.

We are in Korea with life on hold. Elsewhere in this site someone noted 4 months longer than posted processing time for step 2 ( for Korea), necessitating another medical check....
I can't get through on the 1-888 number.... please advise how to contact or inquire

we sold our house and shop to close in 3 months.. leaving the country .. i guess we'll have to spend a fortune on plane fares in the next year...
anyhow i know y'all know what we're feeling..crazy CIC. i really pity the 300 000 skilled workers whose applications ( 5year+) got tossed

I think the stage 2 waiting is going to be longer than stage 1!!! I wish patience grew on trees....with money....and frosty beverages

you are so right...it's only been 4 weeks since my file was sent to the VO and I am already going crazy....I think it is because our stage 2 was so very long.......

is it a month to get an AOR from the visa office?
Is anyone else going through Paris VO in this thread of march applicants?

eCAS says "Decision Made" on the sponsorship part, and "Application Received" on the PR application, waiting for that to be changed to "In Process", hopefully soon.

We are all waiting for the in process part and it takes so long! I have been waiting since May 30th. I hope this will happen within the next month as my file is still in ottawa. I called yesterday to find out what was going on he said it was in process...who knows at this point i'm hoping by september to get COPR

At least you can call... I'm waiting and have no way of reaching them other than email and they done have to answer those.
