Hi Guys,
Applied on 17 Feb 2024 for renewal of father Visitor Visa(military person-retired 14 yrs ago) expiring on 05 Apr 2024. Earlier visitor visa given for 2 yrs in 2022 without any issue in 30 days. Visa applied from India.
They asked for ADR on 04 Mar 2024 and provided same on 08 Mar 2024 with LoE that certain info not available due to records not available and unable to recollect.
Portal & Tracker showing background verification check in progress.
Raised Webfom on 15 Apr 2024, however, no response except that reply will be given within 28 days. Now its going to be 28 days but nothing rec'd.
Don't know why so much time taken? Either IRCC should grant or not grant. Why make people wait and waste so much of time. Also, background verification should not take so much of time especially when visa was earlier granted. In addition, my father has traveled to other countries including US. I see people waiting for almost 1.5 yrs. It's really ridiculous or IRCC being discriminatory against Indians due to souring of Indo-Canadian relations & military veterans being part of collateral damage.
So anybody in similar situation? Any way out to expedite or any advise?
