After 9 months our application status finally changed to Decision Made :eek:

Absolutely thrilled. Big thanks to everyone who shares advice on this thread. I've been a mostly silence observer but the spreadsheet, FAQs and discussion points have really helped.

Big Thank You!
Congratulations! glad to hear that. Can you please share your timeline.

I'm looking for come clarification regarding GCMS notes, hopefully someone can advise!

At the bottom of every page it says "date generated 2015-06-02" which is that date I requested my notes (or close to it). I did however only receive them today. Normally I would think date generated would mean that that was the date the physical document they sent me was generated. It does however seem odd that they were generated that day but only sent to me now. Does anyone know if date generated refers to generation of the actual notes or the request date?

There has been a bit of movement in Ottawa over June and July and out of curiosity I want to know if the notes I received today are up to date or from 2 months ago.

It's a bit discouraging that the due dates for our Criminality (in process), Eligibility (not started) and Security (not started) are all October 10th 2015, which would put us at over a year. Although I know I shouldn't read too much into the notes!

The date in the footer of each page is when the report was created. They often create the report when they receive your request and then send it to you about 30 days after your request.

Thank you! That makes me feel a bit better, I can hold on to hope that there has been some movement since the beginning of June :)

The normal trend these days is that LVO will send email after 15 days days of DM. That is called PPR asking for passport submission to CHC Islamabad via VFS, the visa stamping will take another 15-20 days and you will receive your visa along with COPR.
Alright!! Thankyou for the info.

Received my SA today and it's London. Letter dated July 20th.

Don't really know what to think right now if I'm honest. The one shining light is that my partner is accompanying me and will be getting a work visa for the UK.

Anyway guys, please update the spreadsheet and I'll pass the baton on to the next person.....

Oh dear, I know how you must be feeling because London's our biggest dread too. I think we're resigning ourselves to getting LVO and anywhere else will be a bonus.

I think I'll be picking up your baton in a couple of month's time...

Congrats on getting SA though! Good luck, I hope your application goes through quickly.
