Yeah.but why is it still blank then?
Any idea why can it become blank?
Thanks.
no clue .. what i can say in theory is that maybe it changed to reviewing additional documents uploaded for those who ordered notes .. and for those who didn't, it didn't go back to the original message, but blank ..

what did it say for you before it went blank? This will test my theory out ..

It said,'we need more docs to continue processing your application.we will send you a message with details.'

But i believe that was a glitch cus there was no email/msg/action required.
Sent an email to lvo,no reply yet which means they didn't consider it something urgent.

we all wish they would do that, but from what i have seen they dont.

did you receive an email saying that your file has been trasferred to London Visa office? if you have not, then that means your file is still at Mississauga and they have not sent it for further processing.

everything came fast for me as well, within 1.5 months i was done with medical, PCC, Sched A everything submitted. but it has been over 1 month since my file was sent to LVO and nothing has been done so far. i applied in October last year.

all we can do is guess how long they will take by looking at previous applicants dates. we dont know how LVO works internally, for some they have completed everything in 5-6 months, for others its taken over 2 years
process of Sponsor Approval may takes 6 weeks to 12 weeks. Mine (Sponsor approval) done in just less than 8 weeks. but for PA's approval (DM) no time frame.. bas keep counting days and gets OLD.. :D:D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes::p:p

Do they send an email or update once the file is under review, or just when they need something?
Complete silence till they want something from u .. time to test ur patience ..

Guys what are the new forms which got updated in Feb 2018?

Also, I am seeing the 2018 tab and so far a couple of the candidates have not received SA within the first month. It is frustrating indeed.!!!! :(

Alhamdolillah got passport visa stamped and COPR right after the interview today.
Sept 2016 applicant.
Interview experience was very good, there were two officers a lady and a male officer both were very nice and polite. It was 15 to 20 mins interview most related to my wife and how is our relationship, nothing complicated. After interview she said that she is satisfied with our relationship and we will contact you after background cheks completed. Then they called me again and took my passport and photographs and after waiting of about one hour i received my passport with visa and COPR as well.
Thank you very much respected members for your help specially MM345, Mehr shafqat and many more.
Admin plz update the spreadsheet.

Congrats!! Thats so good seeing issuing visas right away after interview. Gives everyone hope! Btw, did u take ur pics with u for passport stamping? Or do they take it for u at the embassy?
Also, what kind of additional proofs did u guys take with u? And were u both interviewed? Thanx in advance. Got a interview on march 6. Hopefully this misery is over for the rest of us soon!
