in bollywood ..... no one can touch Amir khan ....... his movies especially like .......... 3 idiots ........ Tare zameen per ......... no competition ........ Dabang business wize a good movie ........ but all effects that any one can put in his movie ..............
if u like Salman ....... then u should love Rajni ........ he is father of Salman in acting ..........

Hi All,

My assumption for the timeline is that since immigration cases of Afghanistan are also being processed from our office this could be the average timeline for both the countries. Have anyone noticed how much time does take for a case which is applied from Afghanistan? This is just an assumption! I want all of you to comment.

Hi Red Jeans..It takes about the same time for Afghanistan cases too ...please check the spreadsheet link in my signatures for an approximate timeline for some of the Afghan cases.

Although this increasing trend of timeline is very disturbing but i still have some hopes because we have seen cases on this forum being processed within 12 to 16 months when timeline was 24 months. It is hard to understand how each application is assessed as there is no fixed formula and if there is then it must be known to immigration officers only. It was surprising for me when i came across two cases of early 2010 which were processed within 6 to 7 months as reported by them but there might be some cases that have been waiting for more than 2 years also. Can't really understand what factors are causing delays...backlogs, lengthy background checks, volume of applications..

My understanding is that the timeline quoted for 80 percent cases is not really average time. It actually means that 80 percent cases are completed within 26 months. Which in turn means that 26 months is the longest period for a case in that 80 percent. As you raise the percentage, the timeline goes up dramatically...for example 100 precent cases would have a time line of infinity because there would be at least one case that, for whatever reasons, is never completed. Few years ago (2008 or 2009 not sure) the timeline for Islamabad use to be 6 months but in those days they were using the time based of completion of 50 percent cases. I do think that part of the reason for timeline increase is that they have changed their basis from 50 to 80 percent. But that is just a part..no doubt about it there is a very significant increase even if reported at the old basis of 50 percent cases.

The Minister is making some announcements today and rumor has it that there will be a cap placed on the number of applications in the parents/grandparents category to reduce the backlog.

The conditional visa for spouses may also be a part of the announcements.
 
I have been reading my CAIPS and members comments regularly, here are some observations, which may be different from case to case.
After issueing the AOR, the file will be in sitting in the store room for 10-12 months.
10-12 months, file is open and they will request you updated forms, police certificate and the real processing begins.If the medical is expired, remedical.
After 12-14 months if all is fine and you have a very straight forward case, no travel history, marriage genuine etc. If remedical is not already done, they will ask you remedical and PPR or remedical followed by PPR within a month time.
So for straight forward case: 14-16 months.

Now if you case is not straight forward, every time they request you something, it will add average 2.5 months to your case. IO will open the file, request the concer department to issue the letter, it will take 20 days approx. Letter will be issued, 45 days to comply, file will be reopen on 45th day, sometime if they dont have a slot, it will be more than that. So imagine, if they request you two letters, it will add 5 months to your case, which means you are standing at 20 months time and if they out your interview queue, then there is no timeline.
