guys..sorry.im going slightly off the topic here..but have a quick question..
my wife's file indicates background check is still pending/in process..so how long can that take..any idea? We had submitted original PCC.....so they are still doing more background check?
Hi Zormas,
Typically post PPR its suppose to take about 120 days for PRV(Whereas the whole process takes about 10 months once it reaches NDVO), but in the light of the current situation ie the strike n all nothing can be said unless PAFSO comes out with their official statement in public/news. Given below are the steps/process. Hope it helps and answers your questions. If not then ask.
The Process in a Nutshell:
Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >
Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >
Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.
Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".
