Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[warzo]

Wow, congratulations! Under a year for a non-visa exempt applicant! About 7 and a half weeks between In Process and Decision Made.

I have been IP for 3 weeks, so maybe a month to go for me?

Spreadsheet updated!

Edit: out of curiosity when did your medical expire? I noticed they never asked you to do another medical, just asked you where the PA had visited, wondering if I will get the same request.

Actually Andrew, there are many Pakistan applications that are at decision made stage from Dec 2014-March 2015.

Actually Andrew, there are many Pakistan applications that are at decision made stage from Dec 2014-March 2015.

Non-visa exempt does not only mean Pakistani applicants. The spreadsheet tracks applications through London, so either there are a lot of PK applicants missing from the spreadsheet (entirely feasible) or their applications are being processed in Islamabad/somewhere else.

A lot of them are Missing from this spreadsheet. The ones who have decision made, are being processed in LVO

Well if they do not post in this thread or private message myself or Schnooks then that is why they are missing from the spreadsheet. If you know their timelines or can direct me to them I will add them.

All this is in direct contrast with the spreadsheet as you are saying March 2015 applicants are getting DM's but there are applicants waiting from Jan-March 2014, so I will ask again London why favour those who apply a year later?

Hey guys, just a quick question for you.

I'm one of the lucky lucky people who is currently being processed through the London VO. I'm currently living in Vancouver but, because my work permit is about to expire, I decided to return home to the UK and wait it out there. My question is, do I just need to change my address on the CIC login portal or is there anything else I need to do? Just don't want to forget something before I leave Canada on Wednesday!

Thanks!

Jon

Use the link through ECAS and send a case specific enquiry. In my experience they respond to my CSE when it relates to address change.

Yet a 4th update on my ecas this week , yesterday went in process , today officially changed to started processing application ... Only thing not mentioned yet which was up front is Medicals

 

[WidnesPR]

Yesterday when I checked it said in process and today yes I checked to see if it changed the second line states it stated processing March 5th 2015. So would that mean I have 8-12 months of waiting from March ? Surprising we haven't had a remedial or any document requests.

You are right. I noticed the separate spreadsheet for Pakistan applicants being processed in London and they seem to have a seemingly faster processing time. Not sure why, could be LVO working to clear up the backlog. One of the November 2014 applicants who applied 2 days before me already has DM in addition to many more 2015 applications getting DM too. Not hating just stating. The mysteries of LVO!!

 

[andrew-brit]

No. CIC backdates your in process date to when they actually received your application from Mississauga. In reality they did not start processing your application in March.

My own ECAS says they started processing it in November 2014 which is when they received it however it was only updated to say that on September 7th 2015.

In the spreadsheet we track when apps go in process, not the date mentioned.

However, recent applications have started going.in process as soon as they are received in London, look at the 2015 sheet. I am not sure what this means as it is too early to tell.

In your case I think your application should be processed within 10 weeks from when it went in process. This is a guesstimate based on the average of the time between going in process to DM for recent applications.
