Thank you so much for your response, just wondering if this 54 weeks is specific to SOWP or for all types of work permits when filed in India? I am even contemplating converting this SOWP application into a TRV for spouse hoping it would be processed quicker. Could you please provide some advice on this?Processing is long (about 54 weeks) and there is no way to expedite the process. If you get a response by the summer then you are fortunate.
