    CAIS is the credit reference agency Experian.

    Lender feels they need to submit information to them by the looks of it. Call the lender and ask.

    If it was a bad thing surely they would not allow you to see it?

    May be that loan has been apporved and they are registering with Experian to report the account conduct

    Not if everything is pretty straightforward.

    It can take longer and can take less. I have had an offer done issued 2 days after application before now.

    What it means is guesswork to everybody other than the lender.

    Give them a call and ask. It's the only way to know for sure, and will put your mind at rest hopefully.

    I don't understand the message but in Experian-world 'CAIS' stands for Credit Account Information Sharing. Perhaps it means something else in the context of your mortgage application though.
