Friends,
Read this carefully. I will give you a comparison of
@DenBond 's timeline vs. mine. His application received was on November 15th 2017 and mine May 8th 2017. He cleared his medicals on July 24th 2018 while I cleared them on October 31st 2018.
Now
@DenBond and I had a conversation on this platform on Feb 20th 2019. He asked me when do I expect him to get the DM. I gave him the above comparison and asked him to guess his expected date of DM on the basis of application filed. I repeat, 'on the basis of application filed'.
However in the last 10 odd days I am closely observing 2 things:
1. The DM & PPR's are now raining once again. For some of you, it may look like a drizzle but there are approximately 12-15 DM/ PPR's in the last 10 odd days. These are from applicants from LVO, NDVO and some from African countries.
2. Second and very important point; they are issuing DM & PPR's to those who have crossed the 20 months deadline and whose medicals are nearing expiry. So, almost all those who have received the DM & PPR's in the last 10 odd days had cleared their medicals between May & June 2018. Denbond is the first case of July 2018.
So to conclude, if you guys are keeping a track of who will be next, check that applicant's medical date as well as application date. Just one of it will not suffice. And yes, don't even bother to ask about AOR etc. Those dates don't matter.
All the best!
