MSMirza said:Yep! so lets say 50% of the remaining visas for Pre Feb 2008 and 50% for Post Feb 2008, and theres a long cue so they're right about saying that it might take another 2 years for applications to be finalized. To Finalize cases quickly, they need to Increase their Visa Quotas, at least till the backlog finishes.
Worldwide CIC have somewhere around 144,000 FSW visas from Feb2008-June2010 which are still awaiting a decision, from the 400,000+ applications they received during this period.
CHC London is a big office so I would estimate around 20% of these are for London, so looking at approximately 30,000 Feb2008-June2010 applications at CHC London still awaiting a decision.
So if we say 15,000 visas are available after the relatively small number of post-June-2010 visas are process - and although we do not know the split, let's say 50/50 before post-Feb-2008 and pre-Feb-2008 - this would mean approximately 7,500 visas this year for Feb2008-June2010 out of the 30,000 which remain.
Next year they may be able to start earlier and increase this figure. So whereas at least some applicants will have to wait 2 years, at least 25% of the Feb2008-June2010 applicants at CHC LOndon will get their visas this year.
The above is of course based on some guesswork, including the split between post and pre-Feb-2008 and % of worldwide applications which CHC London deals with.
