It seems there are a select few that have skipped the PPR process and moved directly to DM and PPR.
All of these cases have special circumstances that would warrant deviation from...um....'cough', 'cough'...."normal processing"
Some cases include:
- passport expiring
- medical expiring
etc.
In these cases, the applicant is requested to pick up their visa and present proof of travel booking.
This says to me that some VO's actually work on applications before requesting passport and/or eCas indication of "in Process".....BUT what determines the necessity deviate?
I mean, Is it really just the visa officer that gets your file?
Is it luck?
It just doesn't make sense to me....none of it does! Even when CEM seems to be following a pattern, it changes. And when things seem easy, they're difficult, or vise versa...
Is it really this complicated to process applications?
OR
Is there really no employee control for procedures, job duties and policies?
I can't think of one thing that would explain such inconsistency aside from the latter....even those that have shared their GCMS details prove that the application review process is literally a systematic and chronological procedure based system...
Example:
- Start processing x task.....inquiries sent, awaiting reply
- Start processing y task.....the next thing in line
It's that simple.
One could further that and organize category bins, which could include follow up, next stage, to be started, waiting for docs...etc.
Then a worker could allocate a certain amount of time on each one, therefore giving equality to everyone.
Anyway....I think I'm just trying to answer the absurdity by thinking out the process.....because I seriously can't fathom the cause for such inconsistency....
