Hi @BillHyatt

How long should I wait to hear back from LVO after submitting ADR of schedule A considering it's already gone over 11 months since my AOR. It was submitted last week on thursday (26th april) but since then no correspondence. I thought my security was done that's why they asked for schedule A to finalise the application.

Cheers.

You may see a ghost update before your PPR is issued. I can't say for what purpose Sch A was asked for. Mainly it is to confirm the results of background check and your details if it is asked for Security Checks.

Hi Bill
Yes, there is. But read from a post by Legalfalcon that these don't necessarly indicate SS !...Anyhow, I guess it's clear anyway since I've been in IP2 since Jan

It is true but in your case, it seems to be a Security Screening. Still, it is unclear under which Schedule your Security Screening is being carried out.

@BillHyatt, I am currently in IP2, when should I expect PPR. I had delay moving from IP1 to IP2 due to my PCC which has been soreted. My time-line below:
AOR: 14th Dec 2017
Medical Passed & IP1: 21st Dec 2017
ADR: 20th April 2018( Request for pay slips, bank statement and proof of Accrual of Fixed Deposit)
IP2: 2th April 2018
Submitted ADR: 27th April 2018
Review of ADR: 2nd May 2018
PPR: Waiting

What is your prediction?

Just keep an eye on ADR and it may change before your PPR will be finalised.

Hi @BillHyatt I am 10th October AOR PNP. IP2 27th Feb since then have seen no update on my profile, emailed LVO but no response been 8 working days. My representative emailed them and also ordered notes.
Any insights that you can give, I guess a lot of 10th October AOR PNP candidates are waiting.

Wait for GCMS Notes to see any movements and then we can discuss in more detail. If the file is opened then you should expect PPR soon.

@BillHyatt. My last status change was on March 7th when the account was updated to "background check in progress". When I called the Ottawa office last week, I was told that my file had been transferred to LVO. I know, it sucks. My question is it seems that my file was sent there because I recently relocated to another country or at least that's what I gathered from the conversation I had with the CIC agent, who seemed rather optimistic about my processing time. I've spent most of my life in NYC. Would this change anything in terms of expediting the process, with regards to my recent residence switch?

Also I have three friends who had similar stories like mine, and they got theirs within 3.5 - 4.5 months. While LVO is rather slow, I have observed on immitracker that there are some exceptions to the rule, with some individuals receiving PPR within 28 days from AOR.

My timeline is below:
AOR february 20, 2018
MEP/ IP1 March 1, 2018
IP2 March 7, 2018
No update since then... I recently ordered GCMS notes
travel history (US. most of my life, then Africa)
NOC 2161

Looking forward to hearing from you.

CIO processes applications within 1-3 month time and then the real-time is taken in LVO. Your file will be opened according to the PNP-Triage (Priority). In London, average processing time is 5-8 months with few exceptions.

Your residential status can't speed your processing as files are processed according to the queue they are assigned. I hope this will help.

@BillHyatt
Can you help me on this issue

Your file seems to be under security screening and you should order GCMS notes for more details

 

[BillHyatt]

Hi @BillHyatt please I was asked for ADR on the 11th April (payslips and other employment contract) and I submitted on the 16th of April. However, my review of additional documents still "the additional documents have been uploaded" . its been 3 weeks now. Please do you have any advice. I'm late NOVEMBER AOR.

Thank you for your help.

This ADR seems to be normal checks and not the one applicants receive before PPR.

Thanks @BillHyatt! You mentioned PNP, but I'm in FSW- Outland stream. Would this change the average processing time at LVO?

@bill Hyatt,

Well done and thank you for all your spot on predictions.

AOR-29TH JULY 2017
ADR-AUG 10TH 2017 For Travel history
Mail received of application in the final review stage-FEB 13 2018 mail sent by VCM @ LVO
GCMS NOTE RECEIVED ON 11/04/2018- REQUESTED DATE 09/03/2018- saw only 1 activity under SS which stated that SS was not started.
ELIGIBILITY -PASSED
MEDICALS-PASSED
CRIMINALITY-PASSED
SECURITY-NOT STARTED
ADR-Mar 21 2018 For explanation of UK visas refusals

We have literally begged our agent to put in a CSE or ask for a medical extension as our medicals will be expiring on the 10th of next month but he refused saying it could jeopardise the application.

Almost 9 months after, no PPR. Kindly advise.

FSW are usually processed a little faster but London Visa Office is amongst the slowest. We will see as the file progress.

Thanks Bill

Anyone with PPR or ADR today?

 

[Tojojikan]

Wait for the end of the month. I hope it will be processed soon.

Thanks
