Anyone else reading this that has not provided that information for 2014, please let me know and I will update your section as well. Often, once a decision has been made people disappear and then it is hard to get that information at the end. Thanks!
+1 for Becki's request here, it's really useful to make sure that the spreadsheet is complete. Becki does a fantastic job at keeping an eye on all updates from CV; I am more active on British Expats. So huge thanks to Becki for all her efforts here, it's great to have someone so dedicated to help with the spreadsheet.
As she said, the more complete we can make the spreadsheet the better. To anyone reading this who isn't on the spreadsheet but who looks at it, the best payback you can give is to add your own data. The more lines we have, the more accurate a picture we have of processing times, and the more useful it is for anyone.
If you are lurking and don't want to post publicly, then feel free to PM me or Becki with your data, and we will add you in.
And since I'm here and supremely bored at work, I'll answer a few questions...

Oops - sorry. I thought you were asking where we would be living. No, the applicants address is in Chamonix, France. How does this city affect the wait times for receiving the COPR?
Thanks for all your information and taking the time to answer questions!
I've updated the line for you.
I wouldn't think it would affect it that much... if you compare mailings to UK addresses, I'd imagine it would be a smidge longer, since it has a bit further to go. Most applications from France are filed via Paris, though, so we may not have an overly accurate view... but given the speed generally of EU mail, I wouldn't imagine it's notably longer than the UK. If it gets longer than 4 weeks, then it's time to start chasing.

Hi guys,
My ECAS status shows in process since August 15, do you guys know how long it is going to take to get any correspondence from London/Passport request or to Decision Made?
Hard to say. Your best bet is to look at the trusty spreadsheet (linked in my signature) and compare times from In Process to Decision Made. The majority of people have DM within a month, but some have taken longer.

Holy Macaroni. Just looked at the spreadsheet for 2012 and I am the only one left. OMG lol.... thats all I can say and do lol....
One day my turn will come.
Oh my goodness, I was wondering what was going on with yours! I see that you had your interview last month, though... I'd say to give it until the end of August, and then send them a case-specific email asking for a follow-up. I cannot imagine the amount of patience you have waiting over 2 years to get processed...! Madness. You make Brit_Immigrant's wait look short!!
Really wish they would hurry up already. You have become a cautionary tale, and the application experience no one wants to have! Any news since I last checked in? Still waiting on background checks?
