I was off the forum due to some personal reasons. I am back now because I want to help here.
I also want to thank people who have wished me for my wife's Re-med + PPR. It was no luck, just duas.
I strongly recommend that we learn from other peoples cases, PPR's and posts. Last year, after Mid Nov 2011 we didn't see any member receive visa from CHC-I. However, they were still issuing PPR's. One member named "waqarcan" (wife case) [Nov 2009 file transfer], his wife got PPR in Nov 2011 and the visa actually got stamped in early Jan 2012. The reason for this was that the quota for the year was done. His was just PPR and it took so much time. Re-med + PPR takes more time.
I remember one member here, CHC-I had her passport for 6 months for some odd reason. This is very rare tho. 0.5% chance of it happening.
I know that in this quarter many Sept/Oct and even Nov 2010 file transfers got visa. The reason for this is because they were left behind due to "quota". The ones who got the visa in the 4th quarter of 2011 were mostly people up until August 2010 file transfer. A few lucky Sept/Oct 2010 file transfer also got the visa in that quarter. I recall a member named "ayesha". She was Oct 2010 file transfer.
I can now see that in this quarter members like "MIKE" and "muzamil" and "miksterz" are receiving passport back with visa, while many Q1 2011 file transfers have just received Re-Med + PPR (mostly wife cases).
CHC-I was slow after Oct 2011 last year as well. They became quick in Feb 2012 all of a sudden. All the people who have sent their PP to CHC-I, wait until after April 2012. Inshallah, you will get PP back with visa in the month of May.
Point is, HANG IN THERE A LITTLE LONGER.
