Hi All,

Just allowed myself my once daily ECAS check and discovered that we've got decision made! I've been getting increasingly stressed out as London seemed to have slowed this month so I think it's also pretty good news for my heart!

For those around me in the spreadsheet I know how incredibly frustrating it is seeing people get DM who are after you and being pleased but becoming increasingly worried about your own app at the same time. All I can offer is that we've actually had no contact initiated from CIC throughout this process (we called about Stage 1 after waiting for 70 days or so), and my application never showed 'In Process' so it can literally happen completely out of the blue.

I genuinely hope you all don't have to wait too much longer for DM. Now I'm going to have to start thinking about stalking the mailman.

It's getting like Shackletons journal for you now.

"Day 290. Still no sign of decision made. Not sure if we'll last the night."

In all seriousness though, it sucks. Hope you get it DM'd soon.

Thank you! I must say I've been tracking you as the person before me on the spreadsheet, I'd pretty much decided that mine would be processed a few days after you- super imposing my skewed logic onto CIC was the best way to stay sane.

I hope you see movement very soon.

I just checked with my fiance and apparently I don't get to relinquish laundry duty and house-husbandry until my COPR actually arrives, humph.

Hahaha thanks that's pretty funny! I seem to go through stretches like this and then other stretches where I'm like I don't get and it'll get here when it gets here. It's the fact that I need it for personal financial purposes that is annoying. Usually on a Monday I'm always in moan mode!

I'm up there with you.. Day 250 for me.

Delighted for everyone getting DM and to know London are actually doing some work. But it's hard when ppl ahead are getting word and still nothing for us. :(

Just logged into my ecas today and have seen that i also have decision made! Couldn't be happier! The whole process started on July 26th, and it is now all over!

I presume that decision made is normally a good sign, and there shouldn't be anymore bumps in the road?
