I thought I would start a separate thread from the Inland 2015 one. I am so mad. Applied July 2015. They approved Jan-Feb, skipped March-August. And now end of October applicants are getting AIP. WTF. I am so frustrated :'( it is so unfair.

I read someone's theory on here that perhaps they are approving mid-end of the year 2015 ones so quick so it looks like they're approving apps in a shorter time-frame to meet the liberal's policy on shortening processing times. Wouldn't surprise me.

Yes, it absolutely is unfair. Unfortunately, there's never really any knowing whether this is a trial of some kind, genuine mistake, deliberate policy because they don't like applicants from the beginning of the year...

Best any of us that are in the same boat can do is twiddle our thumbs and hope for some good news soon.

Would not work as statistically they would still have the outstanding applications dragging down or rather up their overall averages.

My suspicion about these kind of cases is that either:

1) They have some kind of criteria that allows some apps to go through faster (less security checks, no kids? Who knows really)
or
2) It's all one big cluster F and some people slip through the cracks, perhaps some Officers are assigned to certain caseloads so depending on their workload, some people get through faster than others.

If someone wanted to show the impact of the liberals, it would of course make sense to compare numbers from when they were in office to numbers from when they weren't. The overall average over both time periods wouldn't be very meaningful information.

This actually would work very well. By having a gap of delayed applications just before the liberals came into office while they focused on newer applications, it would both bring down the old average and increase the new average, making for a more positive-looking comparison.

That is a very good point
