Well Look like majority of applicant files are stuck with background checks.
It's been noticed that the time taken for background check by LVO is different for each one and it could be 3 to 12 months, depends on case and correctly filled Schedule A form (in personal history section there should be no Gaps)
Otherwise applicant has to fill it again and wait another 4 months for Visa officer to review it (it happened with me
) once VO find it acceptable, file will move to next step i.e. background check => means security & criminality check.
Generally on CSE inquiry LVO, states that:
1) Your Background checks are outstanding and these may take several months to complete.
We will advise further when in a position to do so.
2) Please be advised that your file is currently undergoing routine background checks. We will be in contact with further information once these checks are complete.
3) Please be advised that we are awaiting the results of routine background enquiries. Your continued patience is appreciated.
Guys is it true that during background checks our file is assign to another visa officer?
And what is the significance of having S.15 (1) in our GCMS notes?
