Well I agree with these trailing comments upto some extent but I am observing people since May or June, after passing their medicals still waiting, so question coming in my mind do they have finished their VO quota in June-2017 i.e. in mid of the year? Does not look sound I suppose.
It is therefore, in my view there would be some else reasons could be like LVO want to match their processing speed with other visa offices or they are preferring to clear other category's backlog etc. but it is disgusting as waiting is a difficult stage for people, indeed they had or will have to align their many plans accordingly. Anyhow, thing are beyond our control so hope for the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!
