Applied May 4th
Medical requested July 22nd
Medical passed August 5th
NO update till date
does medical request guarantee AIP like it guarantees approval in the past?PLEASE OTHER MAY APPLICANT SHOULD SHARE THEIR TIMELINE SO WE STUDY THE PROCESS
Many who applied in May (SDS) are waiting. This is because applications are processed randomly based on load distribution. The sister office which processes May applications are being sloppy while the others are managing it.
Review of eligibility is the main thing, you are screwed if this hasn't started so far yet.
During pre-pandemic, getting medical updated without review of eligibility was generally a sign of refusal.
However, during this period many have had gotten AIP's without the medical or review of eligibility being updated. You cannot predict anything with the available data unless you order GCMS notes.
If your profile is good then there's nothing to worry (relevance of studies, gap, work exp,ties,sds requirements etc.) . If you do not get the AIP within time then defer for Winter and upload the new LOA.
VAC's in India will be opened most probably within September.
