There can be a natural slow-down/freeze on visas towards the end of the year. Once a visa office reaches it's target it cannot grant any further visas until the following year, so this may account for less visas being approved after September.

Background:
Figures:--
• Number of files in 2008 (backlogs) – 640000.
• Number of files in November 2012 (backlogs) – 100000.
• Number of visas issued in FSW till December 2012 – 55000-57000*
• Number of visas issued in FSW till June 2012 – 43653*
• Number of visa to be issued in 2013 – 53500-55300*
• Till June, 2012, 17068 applications in MI-2 have been processed and total of 25189* visas issued
• Till June, 2012, 6663 applications in MI-3 have been processed and total of 4378* visas issued

* - Including Primary Applicant + Spouse + Dependent

Facts:--
• CIC expects to clear all files received till November 2012 (100000 applications) by end of 2014
• To clear backlogs from 2008, i.e. 640000 files, MI-1 was started on 28th February, 2008 – introduction of a occupation in demand list
• To clear backlogs in 2010, MI-2 was started in June, 2010. – introduction of CAP of 1000
• To clear backlogs in 2011, MI-3 was started in June, 2011. – reduction of CAP to 500
• To clear backlogs in 2012, Pre-February 27th, 2008 files were returned and a temporary pause was initiated to stop taking new applications..

Assumption:
• None of the MI-1 applicants have received visa in 2013, nor their e-cas updated to medical received/decision made from June, 2012.
• MI-2 and MI-3 on a constant basis have been given visa and e-cas updated every now and then.
• Total of 2932 and 3337 applications are pending for MI-2 and MI-3 respectively which still have a decision pending.
• If we assume that all the pending MI-2 and MI-3 application will be granted visas, then a total of approximately 18800 visas will be issued.
• Therefore 55300-18800= 36500 visas will be remaining for MI-1, i.e. around 12100 applications.


Conclusion:
Looking at the trend, first, they will process all the MI-2 and MI-3 applications. Then they will start with MI-1, that too who have already done their medicals and submitted passport. May be in the interim, simultaneously or after issuing visa to these MI-1 applicants, further medical requirements will be issued to other MI-1 applicants.
Purely based on the assumptions and facts, I guess that people who received their medicals in 2012 for MI-1 will eventually get their visas this year (not sure when exactly). People who further receive medical requirement till mid of this year will also have a bright chance to get visa this year. If medicals are not received till June/July 2013, then expect that visas will not be issued in 2013 and it will go to 2014 quota.
I am sorry for being the bearer of this not so pleasant news. But I know how everyone in this forum and otherwise feeling. One thing is for sure, they will process all these pending applications by 2014. So just be more patient and pray to god that he helps us see this through. I wish everyone a speedy process for their applications, may there be heavy downpour of visas and medical requirements for MI-1.

Hi,

1. NO. After the meds all processing gets standardized, there's then no concept of the wait-queue based on MIs. Each case proceeds on it's own merit, based on it's security clearance.

2. "MR" at e-CAS usually reflects that ur security checks r complete/satisfactory... and the pps with PRVs r under despatch. The meds 'evaluation' is done typically imdt on receipt at the RMO (off course based on their workload, read quantities to be handled) and anomalies, if any, is typically (again) intimated to us by max 4-6 weeks. If one doesn't hear anything by then -- it's safe to assume that his/her meds stand cleared. It's another matter that after the meds get 'seconded' our IOs run the security checks on us... it's success gets a nod to PHEP section, for PPR (not in the case of CHC-ND) and that "MR" status appears on our e-CAS.

CONGRATS pooja82.
Looks like ur the first to hit the JACKPOT from MI-1. LVO indeed is working. Hope NDVO too picks up the pace.
 
Dear All

My analysis from the posts and latest data release is that MI1 will be processed after MI2 & MI3 as they have preference in the system and the applicants of April, May & June 2010 of MI1 will be getting visa's ( all of them ) by mid of 2014, as the new rules will be operational from may that will further slow the Visa process for existing cases

DS
 
Very good analysis, please i will like to know when visa quota will be releasedby cic?

if so??? then..my PP/RPRF medicals are in NDVO Since 15th July 2012,,6months completing after 3days...do u think they will hold my PP until 2014?? no way....
 
@sharmilasji nd dhillon sahab,
Now that Ndvo has started issuing visas to the Mi1 applicants, the clouds of doubt appeared to have scattered. Two of the forum members (smshussain nd can-quest) are the lucky ones to get back their PPTS with visa stamps.
Hope,next week shall see a few more to join them.
Good luck nd May God Bless ALL !!

Yes bro hopefully next week will be full of news with more visas
 
I have mentioned ( all of them ) means some applicants are there who have some problem with their files like interview/ Re- medicals/ objections etc. they may be delayed to that point. I feel 80% cases of MI1 will be through by Dec 2013

I appreciate your efforts for providing the statistics but I am not clear maybe it's me that how much inventory is left after deducting the numbers from the table you posted
