Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
My guess is when they do an update such as PPR request or med request on their system, it updates ECAS and if the correct GCMS data is there then the address will reappear.

Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all.
I'm not sure if my time line is any quicker than anyone else's as I haven't studied them lately - so if that is the case, you all shouldn't be that long behind me.
Wayne - no I'm going to send them in the post. I've waited this long so another few weeks waiting for the passports isn't going to hurt
Good luck with your meds. Mine took longer than necessary as we couldn't all attend at once which added another 2 weeks to them being sent 
.
A weird thing that happened before I got my email though - 2 days before, my address disappeared from ECAS. 1 day before, my address appeared again, then lo and behold, PPR! Don't know if it means anything, maybe coincidence?
Another thing - don't know if anyone knows this but I gathered that the initials that are on your med request return label ie FGG (not real, but you get the jist) are the initials of the visa officer dealing with your case. I may be just slow in catching on but this helped me a little when sending case specific emails as I put them 'FAO FGG' so there was no delay in them getting to the right person.

We are now over 7 weeks since CHC London received are medical results, and almost 5 weeks since they received our RPRF/PCCs
And basically:
- No PPRs yet
- ECAS still doesn't say "Medical results have been received"
- RPRF draft has still not been cashed
Although we appreciate we are lucky enough to even be past the medicals stage compared to some people, looking at those who have done medicals it seems we're slipping behind the timelines.
Not that another few weeks will hurt, but at which point should we start to become worried that something has gone missing in the post / gone wrong internally or something with our application has gone wrong?

Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Wayne, are you FSW? I have no idea if this would be the case but just wondering if FSW time from meds to PPR may differ for PNP applicants, since both have different start to finish processing times overall. I wouldn't worry just yet. Did you get confirmation from your DMP that all had arrived safely in London?
Confirmed medical results arrived 28th April (signed for by AZIZ who is one of the regular signees for CHC London).
RPRF/PCCs arrived 16th May (signed for by EMMANUEL who is also a regular London signee)
After we initially contacted them over our original sending of RPRF/PCCs going missing by the post office (they were subsequently found as never having left the branch!) we got email confirmation from CHC London that they had our RPRF etc.
Yes we are FSW. The only other post June 26 London applicant reporting PPR (who has since got his visa) was about 5 weeks after medical results were received at London.
Please don't get me wrong I am not shouting and swearing at CHC London yet and we have some waiting time left to still be able to validate our visas at the end of August with our booked holiday. Just seeing our timelines slip a bit behind I will start to a bit nervous if they slip much more!

Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
I know exactly how you feel. It seemed every PNP applicant was getting their med requests like clockwork, exactly 6 months after submission to London so when our application went over that time by just a week, I had a total meltdown I think it's normal Your PPR will be with you soon I'm sure
I think it's normal Your PPR will be with you soon I'm sure Well by the end of next week it will be 8 weeks since our medical results arrived at CHC so if it's not here by then I might start to get a bit nervous! But I will try to be patient.

As we're just about at the 4 week mark I guess I will stop watching my inbox quite so avidly... it looks as though my partner might be right and I'm being too optimistic!

Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and I forgot to ask, are we counting from when our applications have been received by London or when we actually completed the medicals?

Re: PPR's arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick tip.
If you have been waiting at least a reasonable time e.g 5-6 weeks, send an email saying 'sent my docs xx weeks ago, please can you tell me if you are waiting for anything else from me'.
I did this and I got a reply saying something like 'your file is still with a VO still waiting for review etc etc etc.....', then a few days later I got the email. May be coincidence but who knows.
Don't ask 'how long is it gonna be'. I read somewhere that that rubs them up the wrong way.
Good luck
