Useful Words From Captain Qorax from his post
The moment your e-cas goes to 'in process' - STOP LOOKING @ IT, please. It doesn't help u -- neither the e-cas is any 'tool' to check our case progress. Understand the timeframe instead:
Meds:
6-9 months from 2nd stage docs SENT,
OR
4-6 months from the 2nd AOR,
OR
3-5 months from any Addnl.Docs Request.
PPR:
3-5 months from Meds Received @ CHC,
7 months for some cases - with security issues,
[God forbid] Furthered Meds - need another 3-5 months,
[God forbid] External Security Check/s - may take the case to 9-12 months.
If PPR & Meds r together:
U r looking @ a total of 3-6 months for the Meds Validation + Security Clearances to fetch your PRVs - in 'normal' circumstances.
DANGER:
After Pps SENT -- DO NOT correspond with your VO*, s/he might just return your Pps 'unstamped' [and ask u to send them later].
