Hey, I have been a silent reader for nearly a month but there is something I have to say
1. Most of Jan applicants are still in the time frame of 6 months, so I don't see the point of complaining the processing time when it is in a given time. Even if it does cross 6 months mark, folks in previous months have more right to be depressed than us, and they are yet to have PPRs.
2. The processing time of each applicant is varied based on the complexity of applicants, VOs so you can follow your VOs to know what exact time. And, we only have our case to worry, but each officer, who know how many cases they are dealing per day? Maybe hundreds? If we just put ourselves in their shoes, we might be more empathetic to them.
3. No matter what happens, we still have to move on with our lives, so why don't just make peace with the wait, less negative feelings/energies in those posts, and give hearty congrats to all those received PPRs. I mean I get it, we are all waiting, getting anxious, depressed. But why don''t we choose to do something else to make peace and patiently wait to our time. Each person will have a different timing
.
P/S: I was very anxious, depressed and couldn't focus on my work. But after I learnt that many folks in June - Dec 2018 still waiting, as well as some folk in CIO still waiting forever, I finally made peace with my mind, and patiently wait. I am expecting it could take up a year to complete.
Hope you all will get your PRRs very soon
