CAIPS before 2nd AOR.. Your opinion please

[MoatazEissa]

Hi everyone,

My full documents reached London VO on 24 August as per fedex delivery report. My Ecase not changed to " Received by VO" yet.
I admit that i am running out of patience and I am thinking to request my CAIPS notes.

Do you think the VO creates the CAIPS file as soon as they recieve the full Doc ? , in other words , is there any probability to get the CAIPS file with any sign showing that my application is received and initial processing begun ?

Thanks,
Moataz

I have no idea how CAIPS work but my humble suggestion would be to wait it out... ordering CAIPS in earlier stages wont help... i think CAIPS can only be useful if you use them in later stages before or after medicals so you get some idea about how the security checks went and whether they waived your interview (before medicals) ....

Hi Moataz,

It will take atleast a month to change your ecas status. as my status changed after nearly a month. and then i have received my 2nd AOR. I can say that your file must be pending for review. so wait for couple of weeks more.
Dont get penic.

Good luck mate

Hello Guys,

I have sent case specific inquiry to London Visa office on 7 Sep and just got their reply now.

Their reply consists of 2 parts. first part is very generic and strange ! as it does not apply to my case, the second part might make sense.

Please find below the whole correspondance :

My inquiry :
 Good Day, I have sent my application and supporting documents to London visa office on 24 Aug 2010 Via Fedex(Tracking number xxxxxxxxxxx) as my file was recommended for a final determination of eligibility for processing as per Email received from CIO on 7 July 2010. I was advised in that email from CIO that London visa office will send me an an acknowledgement of receipt letter which will inform me of the next steps in the review of my application. It will be highly appreciated if you can advice regarding : 1-The issuance of acknowledgement of receipt letter(AOR). 2-The Change of my E-Case Status. Thanks and best regards Moataz Eissa

I noted that the file number mentioned is the same as received from CIO and was not changed as expected.

Your comments is highly appreciated on that

I would go by the second part of reply that looks correct. Another 40 months processing time reply looks like that its sent by mistake (If you have applied under the FSW)

Yes , I think that the first part was sent by mistake. Do you think that it is normal not to create a VO file number and proceed with the initial CIO file number ?

No on this stage it can't be usefull, when you will received your 2nd AOR or your status is received by visa office then it will usefull, but on this stage if you apply for caips notes they will send you almost empty result.(blank sheet)After 3 months it will be usefull,when you will get your 2nd AOR.

I would suggest way a bit more and do not yet look at ordering CAIPS as it will not have much detail which will you to come to an observation.

[MoatazEissa]

Thank you guys for all of your comments. I will wait for 1 month and see what will happen.
