There is no specific form, you can design the required information in excel or simple word document. For me, l used word document to supply the information and the following day the "additional document section" turns back to "we do not need additional document". Hope this helps.

Thanks you mate. I did the same and submitted today along with RPRF. Application is already IP2. Hoping to receive PPR this week ...

Really sad. Hopefully, you will receive the PPR mail soon, stamped passport and COPR. Wonder why London visa office left your file untouched for 6.5 months. This is really worrying... Wishing you the best Bro speedy SS

Wow that is indeed sad, I cannot even imagine what you are going through but don't worry, it will end soon with PPR. But why would London abandon your file for that long, was your file rerouted through another Visa Office? Just cannot imagine why London would ignore a file for that long

Hi @The Robust
It was my husband's PCC. We had not submitted it initially. We submitted the receipt and a letter explaining that we are facing delays in obtaining the PCC.

Guys anyone have any idea how long London visa office takes after IP2. Been in IP2 since 18th Aug

I am a Jan applicant. I am under so much mental stress with all this waiting.

They should process the file after receiving the PCC.
