BOWP is a different story, I applied on June 27 for BOWP. They are now working on applications submitted on 07 June 2017. And, on average it takes a max of 78 days to finalize BOPW. In other words, if you apply for BOWP today, they wont open your file today cos they have to work on previous applications, it takes 78 days from the day they actually open your file not 78 days from the day you submit your BOWP. My question is then: will they approve my application with NA2 status? I expect them to open my BOWP application in 3rd week of September, after 21st sept for sureee. He cannot apply BOWP cos he is FSW Outland, only inland applicants can apply for BOWP (its a condition set by the gov't).
