Mayflower this is how it shows. For me: but they will update you on e-mail about all the steps but they change the online file later.

Permanent Residence
We received your application for permanent residence on December 10, 2014.
We started processing your application on May 26, 2015.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

Thank you tranjini & SRAMA9.

So I emailed the office few days ago and today I received a response from them and this is what it said:

"Please be informed that this application is presently ongoing preliminary background checks. Background checks on applications, differs from case to case. Once background checks are completed, we will contact your spouse."

So I guess we will be waiting for a long time; because from what I have read on this forum, the background checks can take a long time. This is such a tiring process.
