Hi All,

We received our PPR letter in the post this morning so it looks like things are moving in London. We hope everyone else waiting for a response gets some progress soon too.

Excellent news Malco! Congratulations you are nearly there now!

Thanks Mac, just over two years so far and it seems so unreal right at this moment, hope you hear about medicals soon.

That's fantastic news Malco, congratulations!

Thanks Malco, We have everything crossed right now, hoping for meds soon! Open a bottle tonight and enjoy your PPR.

Thanks Tracy, we are really pleased too and now sorting out the Photos etc for the next bit of the process. Pity the photo spec isn't the same as for passports then we could use the photo machines.

Congrats Malco! Enjoy the next stage....almost there! We are hoping to follow soon...

Hi Mac2

Any news on your side? Any progress?

You are getting close to the ''one year in process'' mark, so maybe the medical requests will follow soon.

No news this side...

Regards.

Nothing I am afraid. But as you have seen london CIC are now saying 80% of cases are completed in an average of 27 months. Not sure I believe how these figures are presented as that would mean the visa's being issued in the last couple of months are for applicants with AOR's from April, May June 2009 applicants on our stream. A quick look at Trackitt, Canadavisa.com, BE etc... shows applicants with AOR's from Feb, March, April and even May 2010 are now receiving their visa's. Sandsfamily AOR May 8th 2010 just got theirs! So I do not understand how CIO are working out their average processing times! Perhaps someone else can enlighten me before we decide to pull out of this stupid process!

Congrats, and best of luck ahead

Congratulations

Thanks to everyone for the congrats and kind thoughts. We went to London for the day on Thursday and took our passports to the CHC office where they took them and gave us a raffle ticket attached to a receipt form. We will hopefully collect them in 2 weeks time, if the photos are ok. Now all we need to do is sell the house in the current market. Hmmm that could be interesting methinks and arrange removals

Hang on in there Mac, the process is confusing, there doesn't seem to be a clear queue and it does wear you down (it was almost 18 months after AOR before we received the medical request) I understand that you feel like giving up but keep going and I'm sure it will work out for you.

18 months, hope for us yet, now at 19 months

Here's wishing you good luck for a response soon.

Hi Malco yipee that's fantastic news!! I'm really pleased for you. I was aiming that I would get my PPR by xmas so hopefully it won't be long for me now. When do you think you will be moving? You must be so excited!
