Hi everyone - I am 2014 applicant. I have heard from my various friends and on the forums here that NDVO processing times used to be fast, but due to a strike at the office last year there is so much backlog. Can you please tell me if this is true. Was there a strike? and how long was it for? Thanks.
Normal processing time earlier used to be six months. The strike was for seven month long It put everything out of gear. Now normal speed is picked up. The NDVO deals with different categories of VISA. We are concerned with Family class Spousal Visa. The process has two phases one at CIC wherein the sponsor side is checked and Sponsorship Approval is given and the file sent to respective visa office and for us New Delhi Visa Office. The waiting game starts here. First phase is at normal speed there was not much variance.
The processing
average period has gone as high as 13 months. This forum has >2800 pages you can read the entire pages to know everything. Now Aug 2013 applicants are getting their visa.
As you are 2014 applicant there is 2014 thread wherein you log and be active. this is the brief. Wishing you all the best.
