This is a neat spreadsheet. It shows the times it takes to process 23/30/50/70/80 % of all cases for different offices, and you'll see that a lot of cases get processed faster than the time posted on the CiC website.

Some interesting information. Today Beijing contacted my wife and ask her to do the medical again in Feb.
because they expire after 3 months? I thought the results should be good for one year?

Hmmm...that is strange indeed. I would try to speak with someone at the office...is there maybe some mixup with the dates? I haven't heard anything to indicate that the meds expiration has changed. Given that maybe what, 5% of cases get approved within 3 months, I really don't see how it would make sense to have a 3-month expiry
