I feel that processing time is based on file transfer date. My reasoning is mentioned below:
On checking the application process timings, there's a link based on 'complete application package'.
Opening the page takes you to the page where you can download the application form.
So i feel it could also be file transfer dates. Consider this :CHC ND is processing Feb/March 2010 applicants since last 3 to 4 months. Lot of them received visa in May 2011.
Based on this I feel the processing time is based on file transfer date(and hence, the initial application date).
Lets be positive!!!
my second file no was in june 9th..now may 24th.coming month is 12th month...if i consider file transfer it is 14th month.....i think complete application means with all documents...so waiting for next month...
And best of luck for updates today.
