Yes exactly SureshMatthew and fv-br. I understand that some applications are really straightforward and can be processed quickly, which is good and how it should be. But if for whatever reason some applications go over 6 months, there should be some actual updates, especially when you ask for one - the generic response just doesn't do it, because it provides absolutely no information. Another frustrating thing is that I can understand delays in the earlier days of an application life, but once it's been brought in line with others (by moving to IP2 on the same day as many other applications), then surely from there on the process should take the same amount of time?
Anyway, these are just things that come to mind after a long long wait. I'm sure that there are perfectly good reasons why CIC do things the way they do, I just wish there was more transparency there.
I am very happy for those who get their PPRs regardless of how long they had to wait. There is nothing wrong with quick PPRs. There's something wrong with the very slow ones.
