Hi,
My husband's company has applied for his ICT VISA (including my Open Work Permit and our 6-month-old daughter's dependent VISA) on 22 Feb 2016 and we were expecting the processing time to be 4 to 6 weeks (maximum 8 weeks). The company has submitted proof of his specialized knowledge including his advanced knowledge in company's proprietary product, gained over past 4 years working with the company.
However as it is a new and big client for the company they have applied VISAs for two more employees one of whom has already received it on 7 March 2016. He had submitted his VISA application on 10th Feb 2016, making the processing time less than 4 weeks. He has the same specialized knowledge as my husband.
My queries are:
1) Can having multiple applications for ICT VISA with same specialized knowledge for same client, make our application any less special now that they have already approved one?
2) What is the approximate processing time for ICT VISA because we need to be prepared?
Thanks,
