Hi, Appl to CIO April 2010 , 1st Aor June 2010 , Full Documents to ND VO Oct 2010, 2nd AOR Nov 2010 .
My status turned from application received to DM last week. I sent a case specific enquiry. They have replied a week later !!
although, it is a general email, which others have posted about the delay in processing, I would like to bring these two lines to attention
'If you applied as a Federal Skilled Worker on or after 27 February 2008 and before 26 June 2010, your application is not likely to be processed in 2012"
So, the DM a bug is the good news, bad news is , a longer wait !! but I do hope, things will start moving with InProcess from Sep-Oct 2012...
Time to hibernate now...A few of the users are creating a panic by posting false opinions of a confirmed DM, verification calls etc...so guys chill...
Ps. The last paragraph also says
Processing times to finalization may vary depending on the number of new applications received and the individual complexity of each application. For actual processing times of permanent resident applications in New Delhi for the last 12 months, please refer to the CIC website at:
So , the two years wait could be a general one and not visa office specific. Like how the Manila office is working faster, New Delhi could too...but nothing until other half of 2012 in my opinion....
It also says
Your file is being processed in accordance with its place in the queue, based on the date on which the application and fee payment were received in our office
Fees was sent to CIO, does it mean, they are processing by fees payment date and 1st AOR ??
Also, the email is from section-2 of immigration dept , CHC ND
Finally, they are sure to ask for updated forms, POF , reference letters etc etc before processing
