I believe, NDVO is trying to complete particular NOCs which has been Capped earlier. People from NOC 2174, NOC 0211 and NOC 1112 are more to get MR than other NOC.
By considering people shared details on NDVO excel sheet, I am concluding on MR release,
for NOC 0211 --- 5 out of 20 candidate got MR
for NOC 1112 --- 5 out of 21 candidate got MR
for NOC 2113 --- 1 out of 1 candidate got MR
for NOC 2132 --- 1 out of 23 candidate got MR
for NOC 2147 --- 1 out of 19 candidate got MR
for NOC 2174 --- 8 out of 31 candidate got MR
for NOC 2263 --- 1 out of 8 candidate got MR
for NOC 3142 --- 3 out of 18 candidate got MR
Rest of NOC is still waiting to have their first MR.
I feel, methodology for NDVO working is "they pick up particular NOCs and concentrating it to finish the lot (by doing all checks including finance, those application gets delayed which require some explanation or support of evidence) and then they will pick up another NOCs".
The delay in application is open ended that we can't predict. Currently they are issuing MR to clear applications only.
It is my thinking, which is not having any documentation support.
