Huge variability in processing times between countries and even within countries. Could take many months to get a response if the application needs manual processing.

I know, I am not expecting a response now. But I was surprised that no one seems to be applying in July on this website :)

Hi there, me (father) and my son (9 years old) applied from India online on ircc portal (GC key)
Application submitted - 7th July
Submission confirmation - 7th July
Nothing updated after that.
I have a previous refusal in 2019 (so biometric will be taken from there I assume). Nothing updated since Submission.

Applied for visitor visa for parents in India -13th July ,
BIL - 14th July .

quick question - my parents have valid Australia tourist visa but haven’t travelled ever outside India . Is it worth attaching with LOE to showcase visa from Australia ?
Second I marked them as financially independent and hence didn’t provide my bank statement . Should I attach my bank statement as well? ( I just added my payslip and last years NOA+PR card in letter of invitation)

if needed I can raise a webform and attach these

Help appreciated !

Thanks for sharing. Was the US Visitor Visa the only difference in your March application vs June application? I'm looking to apply for my brother's visitor Visa and I'm hoping that his B1/B2 US visa would expedite the processing time. Thoughts?
