it depends on the visa office. for me, i received my PPR before changing to "in process". For others, it's the opposite. So the best way to know is to check out the thread specific to your VO and see what the "trend" is.
thank you very much , I just checked and it not more than 1 months in many cases. :)

I think Accra receives alot , it may not be as many as Manila etc. Nigerians go through Accra as well . I just checked and it seems to differ from applicant to applicant. Some for both same day, some three weeks, 1 month. That's the trend for 2014 so we are hoping and praying . Thank you
When I mentioned Accra VO not getting a lot of applications, what I was thinking about was the folks on this forum whose VO is Accra. I have not noticed many Accra VO folks on this forum and I have not seen spreadsheet for Accra VO as there is spreadsheet for the Manila VO which dates back to 2012. If you have some free time, perhaps you can start an Accra VO spreadsheet and advertise it on a thread called "Accra VO Outland Applications".

O-guy - there is already a thread for Accra applications. Whether they have a spreadsheet or not, i do not know. It's a pretty active thread as I see it pop up often on the top of the list, so i'm sure they have ways of determining their "trends".

We have a spreadsheet for accra. There wasn't one before but one of the members took it upon herself to make one recently. We help keep track of the info to make sure it is updated but there isn't too many people active on that thread like us march applicants are in this one

oh ok. I think with what I saw on the note which are Gud comments and summary of our proves I will wait. One month has passed, they may have added something or moved a step further, we will order a new note in two weeks if we do not hear anything. I didn't know the vo gather and send out the notes . I thought that department will be different . Some workers may be getting mad or irritated if they keep getting too many request from the same person within short times, even though it is our right to order. That is human nature. Personally I think two weeks is too much . Lol that's just my opinion though. Am not in any way saying you shouldn't do what you want. Of course I am not your boss or anything. Order more if that makes you feel better. Like you said you are the one paying. I do understand your decision and motive behind it. You seem to have a solid case and so I believe your application will sail through easily by Gods grace. The real note is the comment right? Do they add to the comment every now and then ? Our comment says when we met, when I propose , when my sweetheart visited, our pictures, and they go on to say my wife's family came to the wedding, and describe the wedding as sizeable white wedding and reception. And somewhere they say I do not have any medical impediment that prevent me from entering Canada etc . That was the comment section. It also shows they've done something's which I don't understand much because they use some technical immigration jagons . It also says security note started, eligibility , background check etc all not started. What do you think? It means it left with those things that are not stated yet right ?
I appreciate it Obronini.

That's good they started to comment on your actual relationship, saying when you proposed, your sweetheart visited, etc. It shows they are starting to open your file. They didn't say anything about that to me yet, only the stuff about my chats. But that's why I'm waiting on notes #2, which I haven't received yet. All that security, criminality stuff is normal to not have been started, as usually that's the last thing they work on before they approve you.

That is excellent news. Hopefully other things start happening for you guys too. Patience is not a virtue I possess at all, so I feel your pain at how long this has taken.
