lins. Do you know if medical request show on ECAS? We have to wait for letters to go to our immigration lawyer in Toronto,he then he sends them to us or emails them, which obviously delays them. I thought if I could see on ECAS that the requests had been sent, I could jump the gun and book the medicals while I am waiting for the paper work to turn up.
Probably months away but keeps my tiny mind occupied thinking of these things.

Re: AOR from London Mar & Apr 2010 - Progress updates
however not so sure what 'reviewed' and 'In Process' actually mean.
Does this mean all checks are now complete and passed? Do they also contact the current employer as part of the checks? If they contact the current employer then am concerned what they might tell them as this might raise the alarm for staff turnover...
could someone please put some light on this?

great news!!! In process finally... "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on August 18, 2010"
however not so sure what 'reviewed' and 'In Process' actually mean.

Reviewed means that an officer has been assigned to go over your case, they have done a cursory inspection and everything seems to be in order - i.e. you have all the right forms, you appear to have all the right supporting docs etc. In Process means that your application will now be looked at in depth, all of your details will be double checked, your supporting evidence will be gone through and all your references will be checked too. You have no way of knowing if or when they will contact your current employer, but the chances are it will be soon. AmyDavid has suggested that the approximate timeline from In Process to Medical Requests is 6 weeks - therefore you can assume that your references will all be checked within this period, before they issue your Med Requests.
Hope this helps - at the end of the day this whole process seems different for each one of us. We all need to keep

Re: AOR from London Mar & Apr 2010 - Progress updates
Ok so today I recieved our medical request 
We also recieved a Declaration form to be filled out by my step sons biological father. We havn't heard from him for over 7 years and have no idea where he is. As he doesn't have parental responsibility or access we didn't think it would be an issue but it seems it might be.
According to this website http://www.trinitychambers.co.uk/han...ut-22-3-06.doc.
Strictly speaking, a mother with sole parental responsibility for a child need not seek the consent of the father to move abroad with the child. Unless the father has a pending application for an order pursuant to Children Act 1989 before the court. Or the father is having regular contact with the child.
Niether of these apply so it seems we dont have to do this. I'm going to email a case specific enquiry quoting this and see what they say.

Well, blow me down with a feather. Popped home at lunchtime and we've got our medical requests.
Now the dog thinks I'm mad, because I picked him up and hugged him so hard, before running round the house like a thing possessed.
Now I'm going to calm down and lower my heart rate. Where did I put my gym membership card? Can't do any halm, can it?!

Wow Funky Florist! It seems as if the visa office got moving! Yeah!
I hope you find your gym card! Don't bother to lower your heart rate, it burns off those extra calories...
Hope you get an appointment soon!
Mickey690, I hope we will go into process soon, as I see you have submitted to the London Office only on 5/5/2010. It seems as you have sprinted through the process...good for you! I hope all goes well with the biological father issue!
