2.We started processing your application on April 27, 2015.
3.Medical results have been received.
4.We sent you correspondence on October 13, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required

No need to worry.
The maximum time you would like to allow LVO for PPR could be 45 days starting from October 13, 2015.
Coz if they have asked you to provide some missing docs, re-med or RPRFee etc in their October 13, correspondence then they would have probably mentioned that you are required to fulfill that requirement within 45 days. and in most cases it is after those 45 days that they will open your file again.
But recently, they are quick and in most cases one don't have to wait for 45 days. So hopefully you will hear from them very soon. An email could do the magic, I guess.

My ECAS status was changed to DM on 26-Oct-15, same day day I got request for submitting RPRF receipt within 30 days as they said: "In order for us to continue processing your application we require payment of the outstanding RPRF. This fee is payable in accordance with the instructions in the sponsorship kit and on our website.

Please submit the requested fee receipt within the next 30 days. "
We also submitted the fee on 26-Oct-15 and our Lawyer send copy of receipt to LVO on same date.

Now I have to wait till 29 November for reopening of my file for further processing?
:(

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Piece of advice to all those who are going for re-medical or have done that. Please do not just sit relax after your re-med, instead keep on tracking with IOM Islamabad with they forwarded the results and then ask LVO along with reply from IOM (PP) if they have received the results. IOM is messing up with results recently, my wife (PA) is also one of the victims of "efficient staff of them". She had her re-med on May 28, 2015 but through notes we found out that results never reached LVO. So, after a long battle with IOM / LVO, eventually she has to do re-med again on Nov 02, 2015.

If they have given you 30 days time limit and you have made the payment then according to my understanding (after analyzing different timelines) the MAXIMUM waiting time for your next step will be 30 days. But recently candidates are getting to next steps even well before that dead line after they have fulfilled the requirements.

I personally don't trust much the ECas status.

Both you and me got Decision made even without having paid RPRFee. So they might be opening the file again for a review to make sure if the remaining required things (RPRFee in our's case) have been provided.
