Congratulation Salim. Does anybody know if the referees are contacted for all cases? That might be a good way to figure out if the cases has been initiated.

Can any body who got approval advise?

Referees are contacted very rarely.

[globalindian]

Ok thanks Mallik..so it's very difficult to know if your case has been been initiated. Wish there was a online tracking system.

If you look at my timeline which I posted yesterday - my referee was contacted just over a month after application was submitted, and I received my approval after another month since then. Although I don't think this happens very often, I hear it's quite a rare thing for them to contact referees.

Thanks Marys.
