Hello Guys,

I've been stuck on Review Required status (based on GCMS notes) since my MEP on July 9th and based on the notes my application wasn't touched for months. It seems most applications that go to review required status (especially in Sydney VO) don't get touched for several months. I'm just wondering if there's a trick to getting an officer take a look at your application. Has anyone done something that triggered PPR after being stuck on RR? Something like raising a webform, calling CIC, requesting status update via MP etc.
Would like to know what works. Being stuck in RR and seeing PPRs from recent AORs like Sept and Oct isn't fun. My AOR is May 31st

Any suggestions will be appreciated guys :)

There is no trick. You are in the queue and they will get to your app when they get to it.

Same here. My AoR was April 2nd and absolutely it's not fun to see PPRs from recent AoRs: July-Sept. So mad, so jealous and so mean :p

Hi, In my case I got email from CIC on 24th Oct asking for PCC from Qatar, I sent the file on 26th, after that there was no update. I called them on 11th Nov and an agent said that they are yet to view my file. But surprisingly I got PPR the next day. I'm not sure whether the call made them take a look at the file or the agent lied. So just try giving a call and ask for an update. My AOR was on July 24
