LONDON Visa Office Applicants....Lets connect here

[seggie007]

Hello everyone. Can someone please tell me at what stage FSW-O applications are sent to the London VO? I live in UAE; am Indian and recently learnt that my application is at the LVO. At what stage is an application sent to a VO? Will it then be forwarded to the local Abu Dhabi/ New Delhi VO? or will the London VO do the final review? I'm just trying to figure out what steps still remain. Thank you.

My 2cents: London would be the primary office but the processing of the application will begin at the centralized intake office in Canada. The fact that you live in UAE doesn't mean it would be processed in UAE. Applications are sometimes transferred to a different VO due to workload distribution. After Central Intake office completes the eligibility test and security test, it would then be transferred back to your primary office - London where they would conclude on your application. You would then be told to send your PPR to the closest VO where you reside which would be Abu Dhabi VO in your case.

Hello Nidhi. Good to see you on here. I had put you on the watch list on the tracker since your AOR is around the same time as me and we are both based in UAE.

Only by ordering notes will you know when you application has moved to London VO. I think you are in the same stage as me. Your passed your analyst eligibility A11.2 and awaiting " officer review". How long it will take is anyone's guess but hopefully we will get it in the next 2 months or so.

As far as I know, security is triggered from London VO and not CIO. CIO does the eligibility and Criminal and passes medical. Atleast thats what was showed in my Notes.

Thanks Johnsyk. meant criminality and eligibility are done are CIO level. Though in my own case, i noticed some security checks were done at CIO, maybe cause i studied and lived in Canada.

My experience was same a11.2 check completed by central office then after this is moved to local visa office and about 2 months later you will ether get a additional document request or ppr. Fairly standard I think for most people order gcms notes and you will know
