Try and look at it this way, if your online status has changed to `decision made` then you`re already either in or out anyway - from the sound of it you`re already in so just wait for that letter and hopefully you`ll be able to survive financially till then - we had to wait around ten days for our COPR paperwork once a decision had been made if that helps at all - hope it works out for you !

Thanks russjp. Its killing me not knowing what's going on!! I need to stop worrying!! There have been many promises from Chris's employer and none have come to fruit and all this laying off whenever his boss feels like it is ridiculous. The sooner he can get another job the better at least we will know we have regular income again. Although if it wasn't for his boss we wouldn't he here so there's always a silver lining!! Thank you for letting us know how long your response took I won't 've waiting outside the post office in the cold in the morning!!

if its still the same as when i got mine, assuming you have got PR they'll likely request your passport (may have changed now) If they do then DON'T send it snail mail, i opened a fed ex account and it wiped a month off the wait in my case.
Mine went to Washington, not sure where they go now but a month less sat at home not earning is a good thing in return for sending it fed ex.
Lots on here will know if the turn around time is better now, but as i said when i got mine it was up to three months lol
Hope its not that long now.

Excellent news

Just another quick Question. Do we just send the photo portion of our passports? Or do we have to photo copy all pages?

Aqua

We photo copied all pages and Sent them in! Well done

I'd make a copy of every page, reduces the chance they have something else to ask for or delay. I know for some things they specifically ask for all pages.
