For Applicants of 2007 (in London): Has Anyone received documents update letter?

[hronaque]

Hi Altuary.

Thanks for joining regarding this topic initiated by BobbyB. I also received that
generic letter sometime in August of last year. Good to know what's the latest
on 2007 May to December hopefuls. FYI, I submitted my application Oct. 28, 2007
                                                        Aor received Nov. 26, 2007
                                                        Represented by Campbell Cohen
                                                        Physical therapist from the Phils. and currently based in Abudhabi
                                                           
                                                       

Thanks for your input, Guys.
I think that this "Generic Letter" was sent to almost everybody (2006-2007 Applicants - those that had not been sent a documents update letter) for Administration purposes .(Sifting and Shortlisting those who were still interested, and also to give a chance to those who would want to apply under the new rules to withdraw their cases and get a refund). I personally didn't see it this way then.

In hindsight , I think this was the reason for that letter.

Your right bobby. It seems they are just trying to filter the applications so that they can stop processing those applicants who are not interested or have backed out. This will help to reduce the backlog of applications. Wanted to ask you guys that for the IELTS scores they only apply to principal applicants or secondary applicants too ..

Thank you.
This is what I have been suspecting. It is the application date that they follow (not AOR). I might be wrong, but this is what I have seen on other forums other than trackit.com.

I guess, No one can say, as this depends on how quickly they can verify and prove the authenticity of the documents.
It also depends on how good you have prepared your Documents  (made easy, the life of the IO handling your case )

Thank you, hopefuldxb!!
From the look of things the Documents update letter is sent to applicants (again, based on the application date), 
from anytime between 2 years onwards. This is one of the things I personally wanted to verify.

Hi.My AOR is November 2007 Viena and in 22May I got e-mail asking me to send the documents.I am from Macedonia.

Hi filipce,

Thank you for your input but, please note this is only meant for Applicants of London CIC office.

Could you please remove this thread of yours - Pleeaasse!!!!

If we cannot send the documents in time, how long of an extension can we get? I have an IELTS that is over two years old and am having getting trouble getting my cleareance certificates in time

Why don't you write them and ask for it ASAP.?

Put in the 2 years IELTS, if it will earn you the points you require.
 Note:

 Language test results must not be older than one year at the time of application.

So, if this result which you have was not older than 1-Year from the date of your application then you may still use it.

Clearance certificates are very useful and Important for a decision to be taken on any case. You should have started that long time ago. However, write them and explain the situation, whilst submitting all other Docs.
