Hello

Anyone applied in october and still waiting ?
Lot of October files are stuck [ including mine]. A friend of mine is from Oct 31st and waiting too. I see Oct 5-14 files have moved a lot [ based on the PPR updates I saw on this forum and other groups]

Hoping this trend continues and we all hear in the next week or so

You are very close to your decision. You should generally get the decision within minutes of receiving BVL. However there have been some cases with a delay too. Wishing you the best
