A small update from me (no happy news tho)
contacted them by the online form to ask if I have to send my IELTS cert scan (didn't include it in the app) - Jun 5 got a template response that the app is being processed, everything is ok for now and they'll let me know if they need anything more.
Some time later submitted a technical problem asking why I'm not getting monthly updates on my application even though I ticked the checkbox to get them in the profile. Jun 20 another template response that the app is within normal processing times etc. and nothing about the checkbox question.
Jun 29 ordered GCMS notes. Expecting them 30-50 days from then, but hoping to PPR to get here first.
Other than that, absolutely no movement on the application since BIL passed on May 3. This is so frustrating. ;s
Meanwhile people from May are getting their PPRs and even Jan is still waiting. Are they choosing the cases at random, are the cases left "harder" somehow?
