Hi vensak, can you tell me the process? What does a change from NS to NN means, as well as NN to IP , in which stage of the application, these changes occur?
I have only some observations.
1.medicals tends to change first to passed (especially by outlands). By inlands sometimes it takes more than 2 months but it is quite common to see fast PPR after that.
2. BG usually starts at NN. Some people have it changed to IP fast (within days), but that signalises that they want to have additional documents (very common pattern what I have seen). Once supplied, it turns back to NN.
3. BG changed from NN to NS - this pattern is more common for FSW Outland or PNP outland. It tends to do so when medical is passed or shortly after that. It seems, that they wait for some internal update (for example for internal recheck of PNP nominees).
4. BG changed back from NS to NN (it is believed to be transfer point to LVO or a transit point where most to all checks by central office are finished). In normal cases, that is followed by RPRF (or RPRF are activated shortly before it)
5. BG changed from NN to IP. For Outlanders, this tends to happen after first round of NN - NS - NN. For CEC this can be somewhere after medicals are passed. This change if it is not followed by some request of more documents usually indicates that PPR will be issued soon (within days)
Please be aware, that what I have decribed is just observation for standard speed cases. In some other cases, BG can be stucked for monthes on 1 value (that usually means that there is some deep BG check going on).
Also the speed especially in the last phase does depend on LVO heavily and on their backlog or amount of applicants. that can slow down or speed up the process.
