usually it take 2 days from pre-arrival to PPR. but covid and NDVO have changed everything,
i have pre-arrival letter since 4 July 2020, nothing till now.
Even before Covid, a lot of people waited for 2-3 months after pre-arrival.
I know few who got pre-arrival in early Dec and PPR in late FEB 2020. You can refer to earlier posts from Nov-Feb in this thread. PPR is usually sent in batches from NDVO.
Mine was 10 days after pre-arrival but there were people in that same batch who were waiting for upto 3 months after pre-arrival. The thing is our APP REC date SYDNEY was close. Other things like medical, biometrics, NDVO transfer and pre-arrival did not fall in the same timeline.... but the final DM and PPR were in same batch. From what I have analysed from the others' posts is that transfer or pre-arrival dates dont really make much difference. Even some also received PPR without a pre-arrival or both on the same date.
All of my application steps were much delayed from the rest of people in same timeline, and still I received PPR along with others. Some applications may fall here n there... exceptions are always there, but this was the procedure for majority of files. I have stalked this forum really seriously and thats what I figured out.
