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
First part of their reply :
Thank you for your enquiry.
The application was received on ______.
The letter acknowledging receipt of the application for permanent residence explained that the processing times for the skilled worker category is 42-48 months. Your application is still within our standard processing times.
When an application is ready to be assessed by an immigration officer, we will sent a letter giving you 90 days to prepare and submit updated documentation in support of the application. Note that it is advisable to start gathering supporting documents before you receive this request to ensure there will be no delays to the submission. We regret that our office is unable to estimate when the letter requesting the updated documents might be sent.
You are not required to advise us of any changes to personal circumstances until this letter has been received, unless it relates to a change in contact details or appointment/cancellation of a paid representative.
Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post to the applicant to the mailing address on file. It is important therefore that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.
We are unable to provide any further information at this time.
Yours sincerely,
