No, so we got an email that he needs to get his medical done, that was on October 4 2017. His appointment was yesterday so he went to the clinic, when he went the doctor there said that the medical examination, and everything takes 90 days, and that he will get his reports after 90 days. They said they wanted to do checks ups on lungs and other things. He went to the panel doctor posted on the CIC Website in Lahore.

I dont know is it supposed to be that long?
Where exactly your husband went?

Is this his first medical or did he get a furtherance medical request? Usually if something in the first medical is not right, they send a furtherance medical request to check other stuff. The first medical is done in a few hrs and the clinic uploads result within a week.
This is his first medical, but when he went in for the first time which was October 11, 2017, according to my husband, they said that they wanted to look at his lungs more. He said he needs to come back on Oct 17, 18, and 19 again for additional tests. And then booked for an appointment on January 11, 2018 (which is exactly 90 days from his first appointment).

Ok. so the doctor will most probably have included this information in your husband's medical file and cic will know that one of the tests will be conducted in Jan next year. So what your husband can do is write an email to the cpc-m ( I am assuming that his file hasn't been transferred to London yet) and explain the situation with dates and request immigration to extend the deadline till after Jan 11, 2018.
My FIL faced a similar situation and he was given a 3 month extension.

Quote the application number, applicants UCI number and IME number in your communication.

Where is your file at? How did u receive the medical request and who was it from?

Check the officers notes at the end of gcms as well as eligibility section.

Look under eligibility section, if something like 'review required' or 'interview recommended' is written; suggests the possibility of an interview.

I.e only if your file has already been gone through an initial review. You should also be able to find visa officers' comments in couple of last pages of your notes.

No they replied within 3 days. i sent docs last week. I didn't even write urgent on the email title.

Also what do they mean by unzipped PDF? Do i have to send them zipped file?
A suggestion: It would be good if you could send the information/documents via mail/courier as well, just to be on the safe side.

Hi Guys,
I sent some documents to LVO after visiting my spouse last month and they came back to me with this Email. I thought I should keep you guys in the loop. I am Dec 2016 applicant and my file still waiting on Initial review.

Email Reply from LVO;

Samlia, is there any progress in your file? December applicants have been receiving updates like medical or additional documents requests lately. Have you received any correspondence already?

Can I ask what email address you sent these documents to? Do they expect us to use Case Specific Enquiry Web for or is there a different email I can send documents to?

This is normal and soon you will get the letter for furtherance test from New Delhi India because all the medical panel And inquires comes from New Delhi.
