Almost never; unless someone had a different experience.
My file transferred to London on 8th Aug 2015 ..ECAS shows IN PROCESS but not receive AOR2.

I saw on threads mostly people not receive AOR2 from LVO.

So i have to be patient :-X

We just got the COPR delivered !!! After 15 months of waiting and worry it doesn't seem real. I keep looking in the envelope thinking it should have confetti and streamers popping out to mark its arrival lol

We will land on the 26th at Calais because we have to be in Fredericton that weekend. Will post our experience afterwards.

Thank goodness for this forum and all the gracious members who share their knowledge and experiences. We would have been lost and most likely had our application sent back because of the mistakes we made in the beginning. To those from 2014 still waiting, I can't wait to see your line go green on the spreadsheet. Good luck and best wishes everyone... Come on London !!!!


I'm doing the happy dance .. Congratulations ... Keep in touch as we have to plan a time to see each other some time next year :D

Thanks taffy!! Still feels surreal and can't freaking wait until you get the green light !! I'm not going anywhere because lurking the forum has been my preferred method of procrastination for 15 months lol

Can't wait to meet up

I'm hoping they will look at our file before the date they gave us to have the medical completed. .. We had our request on the 18th July so hoping they will look at our file next week . Medical was done the 29th July .

Fingers crossed, they surely can't drag this out any longer.

i think he was referring to the fact that the June 2015 applicants, like me, went directly from sponsor DM to applicant In Process within days on ECAS.. literally, my application was received June 4, i got my DM on August 5, and on August 6 the applicant portion changed to In Process. in fact, it changed to In Process before i even received my official SA email. does that mean our applications are going to go through quicker than applications who waited longer for In Process to appear? who knows.. but there are a lot of us June 2015 applicants who are seeing In Process on ECAS.

sorry to ask a question that may have already been discussed, but with 1900+ pages of awesome information in this thread, there's no way i could find this answer! :)

what is the criteria for PPR vs PP exempt? my husband is from Scotland - is he likely to have PPR?
