What additional documents did they ask for? If you don't mind me asking
The bank account I provided is in my mother and grandmother name, they asked for an explanation to my ties to my grandmother.
Also they asked about my activities in the Uk in the last 2 months prior to the application.

Hi KyleNguyen,

That means that you are waiting more than 3 months and have not received decision yet?

What webform did you raise for?
Enquiry Form.
The reason I raised the form was, the processing time for Sri Lanka turned four weeks during the weekly update. my application was submitted on October 28, since it was more than 10 weeks, I raised an inquiry asking the status of the application as the Program starts next week.
They replied on the next day asking for my medical, which i gave upfront. I got the PPR after that.

Hi luct2,

Yes, it's been more than 3 months and I'm still waiting :(

Oh really, congrats to you! I thought it was due to the fact that your application was a non-SDS one which was processed faster during this period, I thought so...

Also, the processing time for Vietnam is around 25 ~ 27 weeks and my application was just 14 weeks.

I’m assuming thats your first update. Next update will be after a month my friend. So stay strong. Good luck
Yes it was the first update of my application. A month would be late for me... My defer deadline is by the end of next week. I saw some cases in this forum that they get the result after medical passed around 2 weeks?!

Thank you anyway and good luck to you too!
