They tend not to respond to mails asking "why" when the processing time didn't exceed the average one posted on CIC's website.

The only way asking questions will delay your application is by having the same visa officers that needs to analyze your file, doing research work to find out if they should answer your inquiry and what the answer should be. So it takes from the time the officer has to work on the files. It's not like they red-flag your file and go like "this file will be done slowly, because they've asked something" :) Or I sure hope they don't do that :)))))
The officers hate the frequents inquires from the same person !

sure it will delay the processing

I hate some things about my job sometimes, but that doesn't mean that I'm not doing my job or that I get my frustration out on the people I work with/for. I choose not to believe in legends like "you ask them something, that makes them angry and they delay your processing because they are angry at you" and give the visa officers some credit for doing their jobs.

If the applicant is sending almost daily or weekly inquiries it's obvious the file will be delayed because the VO that is processing the file will have to answer those questions instead of assessing the application.

That's why you have the option of asking for ATIP/GCMS notes and that's why they say loud and clear on the website that they are not responding to Case Specific Enquiries if the processing is still within the time limits.

that is right

My job force me to be the most patient man in the world, I am a nurse and i work at hospital,
everyday i have a lot a lot of frequents question from people ! and everyday i have over load and work stress
really i hate that things but at the same that things cant have effect or delay my work !

the visa officers must be more patient with us , all of us live in stress and miss his/her family !

Maybe those officers consider that their work is more dangerous than the medical profession :) :)

It's still really early, you should be patient :) Further down the road (2-3 months from now), if still nothing happens, ask for your GCMS notes.

I suppose you are referring to the DM on Sponsored person rite?

That would be decision made when the sponsor got approved.

Have you recieved any mail from New Delhi, asked for your passport or additioal documents yet?

Please share your timeline with us.
