Hi all,
The current processing time is 17 months. This time is from applied date to the date they ask you for the passports. I have been in this group for almost a year now and my experience is some medicals happen early while others late but no one extends the overall processing time. When I first started checking the processing time was 13 months but now they have extended the processing time. So as per the experience, now that I have finished 15 months of the total given time, my remaining process should happen in the next 2 months, provided they don't extend the processing time now. Again, as I said this is what normally happens, cannot guarantee that this will happen in the future too.
