Hi @BillHyatt

Thank you for all your valuable inputs, platforms like these have been an immense help during my entire express entry journey which is yet to reach a final point. My timeline:

AOR- 17th July 2017
IP1 - 29th July 2017
Medical Passed - 17th July 2017
NA2 - 16th July 2017
Additional Documents not required - 21st September 2017
File Transferred to London - Somewhere in September 2017
IP2- 18th January 2018
RPRF request - 31st January 2018 (After i raised a CSE on 30th January 2018)
RPRF letter states my eligibility has passed and admissibility is ongoing i.e. security criminality and/or medical.

Could you please let me know when should i expect the PPR as i have already crossed 203 days post AOR.

At this point should i raise a CSE again inquiring about the PPR? Is it possible that i could possibly be under detailed security screening?

Thank you

It can take 1-2 months from IP2 to PPR in London Visa Office nowadays.

Seeking your observations on the above five points .

Kindly, PM me this and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I am replying to some other pending queries at the moment.
 
I agree. For separated or divorce status, child custody is checked. I got a phone interview for this case, which is clearly written in my GCMS notes.

Background check in MyCIC changed to IP2 exactly 7 days after the phone interview.

I tried following you but it says your profile is private. Could you follow me then I follow back?

Sorry, if you have any query, you can post it here. If you think it’s confidential, let me know, I will send you a private nessage.
 
@BillHyatt I have been reading your posts and find them always very informative.

I have seen you have a very good insight review on CIC and its processing, Can you please shed some light on slowness of PNP applicant processing at London Visa Office? Since 2018 they have not promoted any new batch to IP2.

MY AOR is September 22nd 2017
and FTD : November 19th 2017.

When shall I expect LVO to pick up new files.

Appreciate your response

Thanks,
 
Dear @BillHyatt thanks for your kind response to my previous enquiry.

Please do I need to include visits to home country from country of residence in travel history?

Also I visited home country for 11 days from Dec 16th - Dec 26th 2017. I also obtained PCC during this visit dated 21st Dec 2017 and valid for 3 months. Will this PCC be valid for submission or needs to be re-processed and dated after my last visit?

Thanks

London Visa Office is full of pending files with very few Human Resource that leads to Backlogs. IRCC is cutting down its staff throughout the world which leads to backlogs in Local Visa Offices.

They are currently processing applications each day from previous batches and next batch is expected to start from 21st or 22nd February.

Sometimes IRCC accepts PCC from Home Country with few days remaining from the current visit, however, in most cases they reject them. So, I would recommend getting a new one to be on a safe side.

Thank you very much for your reply, hope LVO can clear the backlog soon.

Hi @BillHyatt does previous batches for LVO include FSW EE from June 2017? Seems like my case is in limbo... even after passing eligibility, medical and R10 since Aug 17 ><

Appreciate any insights.
