Thank you for all the heartfelt wishes.
Some points I would like to share from my experience (my mistakes).
- There is no pattern to how NDVO picks files for review or even making decision. Use spreadsheet to understand where you are with respect to processing but do not totally rely on the same. I always thought my case was simple and it wont take me more than 5-6 months to process. It took me 286 days!! its even more than some people with interviews. I never got any queries, no additional documents nothing. My GCMS said, my case was cleared way back in September 2012!! yet the wait.
- If you are working, avoid quitting till you get PPR. I lost some months because I quit early, thinking my PPR will come on time. I received mine 2 months after file transfer.
-Try to be calm and do not over analyze
. It causes lot of stress.
- Make best use of this platform to get your queries answered. I did not come across a better means
I cannot say 'Be Positive' as I know how hard it is and I myself was loosing it till last week. It will be hypocritical to say that. But I do wish all of you find enough strength to remain happy and positive. May God be kind on all of us.
My best wishes to each of you. I can understand your pain as I myself have waited way to long to get the decision. This time will pass and the panic of travel and packing will soon set in
. Remember the best thing about this particular wait is that, we will get visas in the end.
Congrats to all those who got their DMs.
