RitJ said:Now most of us have crossed the 4 month period since AOR, myself over four and a half.
The question is - does cic take 6 months to reject an application too? Or are rejections sent out earlier?
I'm sure both the cases happen, but what is the proportion? Once you are beyond thr 4-5 month priod what are the chances of rejection? Since, I guess most of the reviews happen much earlier, and it's only the security and bg check that's remaning towards the end.
normally as closer you reach to 6 months lesser chances of rejection, normally cic prefer to reject in early stage when they do initial checks, which is usually in first couple of months, and if everything is fine, than they keep your file on side for more couple of months or they transfer it to your local visa office.
if they want they can process all the application in 3 months, but they have follow their 6 months processing time thing........
