I have applied for Skilled Worker catagory in Sept 2007 from London, UK. In August 2010 I was asked to do my medical and send my Right of Parmanent Residentship fee. I did medical in Sept 2010 and sent the RPR fee at the same time. Its been more than four months but Im yet to recieve any reply from CIC. I checked my application status online. But it has not been updated. Can anyone tell me how long it may take to get any reply from CIC or is there any reason for worrying? I made a query couple of months ago. The reply was you application is going through Routine Background Checks. What does it mean? Thanks.
