I applied on October 17 2012, and the sponsorship was approved in Nov 2012. I got a letter notifying me of sponsorship approval, and that the file is being sent to New Delhi (Nov 14, 2012). This was the last communication I received regarding my case.Reeyan said:Steve Jones-

I never received a letter from the NDVO similar to the one quoted above. I did supply the PCC and medical along with the application, as well as paid the right of landing fees. So I guess they won't contact me until making a passport request?
I had made an inquiry through my MP in March 2013, and they replied to the MP with the following:
"This application was received at our office on 07Dec12 and is currently awaiting initial review, following which we will contact the applicant directly to advise of any additional information or action required."
I requested GCMS on Match 10, 2013. It has been more than 3 weeks now, and haven't received it yet.
