They have a huge workload just processing expired CoPR's (processing re-meds, new pcc, new CoPR, AL, sending e-mails to request this doc's) and every day the amount of expired CoPR/visa's grows. A viscious circle....But there is no recommendations for FSW outlanders backlog applications ...
When they allow applicants to travel with expired doc's, and/or exempt valid CoPR holders from travel restrictions they van use their precious time to clear backlogs
