Second Letter:
Awaiting On Approval:
Emailed yesterday (10 Jan 2018), got a standard reply "Your application continues to be processed. While it is not possible to give an exact timeframe, this office will be in touch as soon as a decision has been reached."

So more than seven months after applying, still not at the second letter stage.

@Miminimi Please note.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
