Hi. Didn't you get your GCMS notes recently and it showed no progress? or am I mistaking u for someone else.

No, My GCMS notes will come on 30-May. Amy's GCMS showed that nothing was started as of April. And i got email reply from LVO last week that my file is in queue for review.
So PPR came as a big surprise for me yesterday!

I have heard a lot about the "London pilot project" but my notes actually says "back office pilot project" as anyone seem this in their notes

Same thing!

 

[MM345]

I just checked my gckey now...back ground check went into progress sometime today (after i have already submitted my passport yesterday) and i did not get any notification of this change.

So i guess you guys should check your gckey everyday.

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to ask something. I applied in November 2016 and yesterday got a message for re medical. My medical was supposed to expire in august? Is it something positive?

April & May was a good month guyz we had 8 & 9 DM's compared to last year as per the stats table and the numbers are high compared to Jan-Feb this year so it is not that bad if you see overall.

My BGC in process today. No email, my CIC status changed

Guys, im serious...Any 2017 applicant wants to takeover as spreadsheet admin?

I don't think any one here is so knowledgeable like u and AmyR regarding these procedures.. and also no one is that much active.
+ the speed of decisions by CIC will definitely pose a challenge to the usability of this forum, as those who will beCome knowledgable will leave early.
So, new members please get active start posting
2017 applicants u all should participate now, and those having interest, time and knowledge should volunteer.
Thank u all members and AmyR, MM345 u played very good role.

Glad to see this forum running smooth and active by a lot of good helpers. I was one of the active members back in 2010 - 2012 when I sponsored my wife. The process back than used to be very slow and painful and took place in Islamabad VISA office. It took 19 months for my wife to arrive, and now she is a Canadian citizen for about a year and a half Alhumodolillah. I am so glad that they moved the processing to London VISA office, the timeline kept increasing and it went up to 40 months at one point. Again, congratulations to all who have received a good news and soon it will be your turn. Don't give up hope and keep helping each other.

Just curious and wanted to ask people on the forum that I never got UCI number for my spouse when i got AOR1 in December 2016. It only mentioned the application number. Is it normal?

It is me who got the notes n 10 may 2017.
Ye my notes said Put Away and nothing had started. I think it is all a matter of when they pick up ur file. If they pick it up they finalize it in a matter of days or 1-2 weeks i think

Lol ... i recall the Lifebouy soap ad "tera GCkey slow hai kia"
