Hi Guys,

I am a new user of this forum but was a silent observer from quite a long time after filing my application in FSW 2014. My Timeline is as under;

App.filed: 30/10/2014
NOC: 2131
PER: 27/01/2015
Visa Office: London

After that no photo request so hope that it will be according to specification and now waiting for start of further process of my application.

I have few basic questions as under;

1. Is only one visa officer deal with same NOC? (All applications of NOC 2131 will be deal by one visa officer or different)
2. I observed the following from this forum;

User Name Visa office NOC App. filed PER Photo Request/Documents MR Place applied from

engr.adnan LVO 2131 22-05-14 30-09-14
Scotchn LVO 2131 09-07-14 03-11-14 06-02-15 09-03-15

Shadhin LVO 4011 22-10-14 22-01-15 19-03-15 08-04-15

I tried to include all information of participants of this forum with NOC 2131 and observed that visa officer dealing with NOC 2131 is now dealing application of somewhere near end of September and I need to wait further around a month to get MR. While at the same time I observed that NOC 4011 is far ahead from our NOC as visa offier dealing the end of October applications so those guys might get MR quite early. I also feel that they are sending MR through NOC wise rather than country from which applicant applied and different NOC applicants will have different MR getting time.

Thats only my observation, may be i am wrong but the above trends show this picture. I want that applicants with NOC 2131 also add their details in this table to get a more better picture and also share your precious opinions.

Thanks,

Raza

Nothing valuable, only the typical reply that your file is in queue for review, we'll contact you as soon as this review is complete.

As per my data analysis of RIH, he is busy in processing of files for those applicants who received PER in October and November and least time taken by this visa officer to send MR is 95 days and Max 173 days.

This is based on limited data available with me.

Your time line.

people mostly get MR within week or 10 days after interview. So it's your choice. By choosing London the process can be finalize earlier.
