Good morning all,

Hi! Based on what people report, it can take 2-3 days to get an email about SA after you can see Decision Made on eCAS.

The email normally is sent to you on the same day that ECAS shows DM. But sometimes it may take longer. Relax and it will come alone. Congratulations on your SA!

That email is regarded as AOR2 (which means your application is transferred to regional Visa Office), so it is moving alone! MR will follow up. Congratulations!

oh thanks.

Mine actually took 5 days after ECAS showed decision made, so give it a week to be safe!

Yes, they gave him confirmation receipt.

 

[JoshC]

Yes, they gave him confirmation receipt.

I’d give it a couple of days and if nothing updates send a web form query with the biometric receipt details.
