I do not understand why the date is 10 May 2016. It is not even related to any previous application. Anyways, I shall update the date once I see the decision letter.[/quote]

Application still "awaiting decision last updated on 25/05/17".

Lesson learnt: It is better to use the "case reference number" to search online status rather than "Our ref" number. In my case "Our ref" number for my spouse current AN application was same as "Our ref" number in my AN application, which was applied and decided an year ago in 2016.
