Hi, I got accepted as a protected person on Aug/2022, then applied on Sep for the PR application, on March 2023 it was processed, its been approximately 10 months, what do you think ? Would it take more ? Should I expect more processing time like + 11 months?
Thank you

Processing times have gone up significantly and has been slowly going up since it hit a low in around early 2021 due to the very large increase in asylum seekers starting when the borders were reopened during Covid after being closed temporarily. The 3rd party loophole got closed in 2023 but then there was and even larger number of asylum seekers due to processing changes for TRVs. I would expect that PR processing times will likely continue to get longer a may be closer to 2.5 years by 2025 to deal with increasing volume of applications. Only option is to be patient

since you applied in 2022, I would recommend this thread as a lot of people who applied in 2022 update regularly and it can help you gauge how long applications from the same year are taking. I found it really helpful
