While waiting for our respective turns for CC charge, PER, MR, PPR etc, let me through in a question based upon my understanding of BG checks and all.
Normally, the notion is that an applicant who has a less "complicated" case should supposedly get his PR processed relatively quicker than someone with a "complicated" case. As per my understanding, "complicated" case would mean an applicant who is married and has children. He has traveled to multiple countries for significant periods of time. Wife has also traveled, so on and so forth. Hence BG and security checks for such an applicant would take longer than say an unmarried and least traveled applicant.
Following is the profile of my friend, how long do you guys reckon it should take for him to get PR:
Visa Office: London
Nationality: Pakistan
Marital Status: Single
Job: Accountant (single company, doing it since Jan 2008, he worked in another company before that but its experience
does not count towards his points)
Travel History: Travelled to UAE on visit visa for 3 months in 2013
PCC: Already submitted
PER: Received in first week of September
I personally believe that it should not take more than a year because apparently, my friend's case does not seem to be too complicated.
Valuable Insights from seniors will be highly appreciated.
