I have not received this status, in fact I know a couple of Jan applicants from Karachi (very comprehensive applications with no room for discrepancy) who applied in early Jan 2012 and did not get this status change but they were granted a visa alhumdolillah.
I applied end of Jan, still waiting ... According to my limited knowledge of the forum and other people situations, I can only assume why people may be getting this status change could be due to one or more of the following reasons...
1. Due to the sheer number of applications some are sent to embasssy in abu dhabi to speed up process times (possibly only applications made in a certain city i.e. Islamabaad)
2. Some applications which require further checking need to be sent on to be further scrutinised.
Allah knows best ... just make duaa everyone whatever your status at the moment that Allah gives you and your partner patience.

During Dec/Jan everyone's app was going from underprocess at BHC to passport collection, i think its only in Feb that they introduced this third stage in the process.
i did have an interview and had the fortunate/unfortunate pleasure of meeting the ECO in person i.e the won who was assigned my case. Until Feb all settlement cases were dealt with in Islamabad, not sure whats happening anymore...
Navie and Shoaib I believe both applied in Dec and they got the Embassy processing status change. The majority of Jan applicants, including myself also got this status change.
