Hi Forum Members,
Today afternoon,i received the pasports with the visa and also the Ecas status changed to decision made in the morning.A feeling of happiness and a sense of relief.I am yet to see the stickers but my wife confirmed to me.
My passports were received by the London office on 08/03/10.The whole process has taken excatly a year.My Ecas status as under,for your reference.

I would like to thank the forum members for all the support and encouragement.Especially,Mr.Qorax for his unstinting support to this forum irrespective of the fact who the member is.I would especially mention here the fact that the forum members are much better in their advice than the consultant.For eg:I do not know whether Mr.Qorax remembers.In my case there was a slight hitch with respect to the single name in my passport.I have gone thro this process with the help of a consultant.The consultant adviced me wrongly and unnecesarily to change my name in the passport.I am sure you guys know,what a painful and time consuming procedure that is.But Mr.Qorax adviced me exactly to just ignore it as it was not at all a problem,which in effect was the correct advice.Hence i am not totally against hiring a consultant,but their service is woeful and they lack expertise,unless you are really pressed for time.I am availing the post landing services of the consultant.Hope so they fare better.Initially i was not exposed to this forum.Maybe that explains why i went with a consultant.
Guys,what i want to emphasise here is even if you go with a consultant,ultimately it is your future hanging in the balance,hence you need to be proactive and follow your case closely.Especially in procuring your PCCs,the consultants have no role to play.In my case since i was working in about three different countries,i followed it up myself directly with the Police.Touchwood i got all the PCCs,even though it was painful and it also delayed my case,as i was unable to send all the PCCs on time with my initial submission of complete documents.
I wish all the members the very best in their future endeavour,whether it may be wiating for the visas or for guys who have already landed or planning to land.
May GOD bless all of you.
Thanks and regards
