Sweden, could you please update the spreadsheet to reflect sponsorship approved Feb 14th and also select none visa exempt in column F. I'm under the 2013 tab. Thanks!
Done - welcome to the waiting game! :)
I noticed that the link in your signature is the old spreadsheet, the new one is under my name (because we had a troll deleting things, we had to change a few things and lock the spreadsheet, and it's a copy of the previous one, so the link you carry goes to a spreadsheet that is not updated anymore).
Good luck for stage 2,
Sweden

Thanks for noticing :) Glad to know that no one will be messing with the spreadsheets now. BTW whoever updated and fixed the spreadsheets did an excellent job.

So I emailed London 2 weeks ago and they said my file was under review and they would be in touch if anything further was needed. I've not heard anything since then not have I heard anything from the lawyer (who would get any correspondence). Should I email them again? It seems a lot of July and August peeps are getting DM or in process so I'm getting worried that we've not heard anything. It's practically 6 months now that our application has been in London.

Hi sfeire

I am in the same boat with you. My files are with London since August 2012 and nothing yet well except that they supposedly requested more info from me since Dec 2012 which I never got but now they have the info they need.
Maybe a good idea for you to email them and ask them what's going on for your own peace of mind.
Good luck

Congrats - I put you "in process" on the spreadsheet :) and since your medicals were done end of April, it means that they expect to be done a little before that date - that's why you don't need to medical extension! :)

On a personal note : I got a job today! :) 3 months after landing - it's nice, will finally feel a little more busy and useful! :)

Thanks all! yes - pretty excited! :) jumping all over the place when they called me this morning (had the second interview for the position yesterday afternoon), and starting on Thursday! can't wait - I'm not used to not working, and I'm sure most people here can relate - being home and having nothing to do is just plain boring - and I was going a little crazy the last few weeks! I mean, cooking/baking/taking care of the house is OK for one week, but not much longer than that! :)

Hey London peeps,

Decided not to check e-cas all weekend.
First thing at work this morning and I say, hey what the hell, and check. See what was on e-cas below:

We received your application for permanent residence on July 23, 2012.

We started processing your application on February 22, 2013.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

I don't know if this is good or bad, but I'll just pretend it's PPR.

Congratulations!
