Hi Everyone,
Just a analysis of the timelines of the post of few of the forum members disclose few trends:
1 - Background check is being done after MR for applicant who applied after June 2010.
2 - Applicants who applied after June 2010 tend to get their visa within 3 months of the medicals.
3 - Issuance of visa is faster in other VO than NDVO.
4 - There is a downward trend of issuing visa since September 2012 even for applicants who applied after June 2010, may because the visa quota is exhausted.
From a reliable source I got to know that visa quotas are updated on 15th of December every year. So lets hope that all those who are waiting for their visa post medicals and sending of PP and RPRF since June 2012, will get their visas by January. There is a long holiday at CHC so things will be slow for 2 weeks.
Hope this post helps all to relight their hopes.
