Yes. This is normal. It may be a few months before the status changes.

Thanks a lot for your help and he just worried about anything wrong about his application. Does he need to contact with SINP if the processing time is longer than the average processing time posted online?

No. Pretty much everything is taking longer right now and he should be expecting that his application will be processed with the average time posted online.

That was pre-COVID-19. Things are taking months right now. Also, if there has been a request for additional information, then normal processing times no longer apply and the application will take longer.

Hi,

Still" waiting on applicant/submitted", it's been 7 weeks after he submitted his application. Do you think still keep waiting or check with SINP. Thanks for your help.
