Folks no one knows what's going on at NDVO. Cuz we don't have any NDVO employee here in the forum please correct me if we have any. I believe there's nothing wrong if a july applicant is expecting any sort of update regardless (of the email from ndvo) sent to them or not. Even for those who recieved the email it said they'll start working on the files within two months i believe it was on Jan 16, 2018.. 2 months already passed.
Moral of the story:
July applicants, you might recieve updates anytime from now it could be days or it could be months depending on how fast the visa officers will look after it cuz ndvo should've already been started looking into our files.
