I think they have some sort of a predetermined date on which they will start processing SP finalizations and that date might be a bit far. I previously predicted that final decisions may start rolling out by the 27th of this month but I was wrong. Now I think they will most likely come out by the end of November.
Hi!! Have you applied from Egypt? I applied from Egypt on 7 August, recieved the Biometrics insturction letter on 20 August and then funny enough, I recieved the Medical Examination Instruction letter on 14 September and 4 days later then sent me an email informing me that I am not required to go for medical examination and that they shared that letter earlier by mistake. Last week I recieved Stage 1 letter. I understandfrom the forum here that they are cleary witholding stage two approvals on purpose, however, I am confused in our case (Egyptians applying from Egypt) how would they run a background check if we did not submit police clearance certificates (and probably won't).

They most likely verify the information presented in the application by communicating with the Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs. And yes, I have applied from Egypt.

I hope so, did you also get your AIP? do you know of anyone in Egypt that recieved their final approval?

Fingers crossed we recieve it soon. Thanks!
I would recommend that you order GCMS notes to know the decision early. You're welcome.

I will probably do that, thanks for headsup. Would you recommend getgcms.com?
Quite honestly, I don't know. But I ordered them from thegcmsonline and I've been waiting since last week.

As I mentioned above, I was thinking of using gcmsonline or caipsgcms, the latter offer to interpret the codes. Did gcmsonline take payment first and then send the application form afterwards?
