Its getting really frustrating now.
So many of our plans are in air because of this immigration thing.
I cannot invest in a home or other financial plans. I wanna buy a car, but it is on hold.
What the hell is CHC doing???
At least they should give us a tentative time when we get our visa???
Their are some things that I observed in the last few months that has changed with the way NDVO is processing application for Pre 26 June applicants:
1. In Process with dates is not a guarantee that medicals will come. People have been receiving letters for further documents, interviews, clarifications etc.
2. NDVO will probably issue medicals after completing background & security checks as compared to the earlier method of doing it simultaneously after issuing medicals.
3. For applicants who receive medicals now, the time period between Passport submission & Visa issuance will be much less.
4. All this could be because of the recent examples (few on the forum) we saw for applicants receiving rejections after medicals. So NDVO want to be sure henceforth to avoid such situations, they will complete all employer verifications etc. before issuing medicals.
5. They are definitely prioritizing applications as per NOC & category for all the pending pre 26 June applicants since they have a limited quota this year that has been reduced considerably.
6. They are getting very strict with processing applications as we have seen lately. Rejections are getting higher (this justifies pt. no. 5, since this is the only way to reduce backlog). If they were earlier working with 20% chance now they have probably reduced it to 5% chance for any sort of shortcoming in the application.
The above are purely my interpretations & observations.
