I dont know if you got a chance to see this but I thought it was informative
These figures are from January 2012. They are the total number of non-parental (i.e. spousal and child) sponsorship cases sitting in the queue, ordered from largest backlog to smallest.

You can definitely see the link between longer processing times and backlogs in centres such as Islamabad and Singapore. Also notice that the countries that supply the majority of our immigrants, such as India and the Philippines, run large queues at any given time simply due to the volume of files that they process.

You could say that the processing time is directly correlated to the number of cases in queue. This theory goes down the gutter however once you see that New Delhi is 2nd on the list with a 6 month wait time =).

There is no theory and no reasoning for anything; honestly I don't even care anymore. I just came here to read about people's good news, its to nice to hear people say such good things. India has it amazing, I have seen on their forum that some people get approved in 1 month once the file reaches New Delhi.
 
Agreed, i have also given up trying to figure out how to get this process completed faster..
It is depressing and im sure all of us stuck in this situation feel like life is at a standstill....
We can only hope that this year will be better than last year. But who knows...

I am noticing that these days it's taking a long time for the file to be transferred to islamabad like three months whereas it use to take 1 month- but once it's there the process is quicker than it use to be such people are getting requests within 6 months rather than 9 months - I guess it all evens out in the end!! Good luck to everyone.. hang in there!!
