Some estimates are incredibly wrong. You need to specify if you meet the travel exemption and have you flagged your file for priority processing as someone who can travel. That is the biggest factor in determining whether your application will be processed faster.Has anyone from either October or November 2020 have received word from the philippines ? I know of 2 applicants who applied and have not heard anything, but yet the processing times has went down from a full year down to about 87 days. when they first applied processing times said 5 days haha.
In addition things like do you have biometrics and whether offices are open and easily accessible are also a factor. Whether a medical is required will also influence timeframe.
