just got it from one forum..
For those who like to find out how many months will their PNP applications take to be finalized these days, I have a Scenario:
I think this scenario can represent their workflow for current 45 days processing time frame at CIO level for Outland applications:
1- They do their completion check within first 30 days and if any signature is missed or something is wrong with application, they will return it to applicant from 30 to 35 days.
2- If one application is OK and passed previous level then they will do their validity checks for provided documents for example for nomination letter, payment receipt,... from 35 to 40 days
3- They finalize applications passed two previous levels and they insert it in their online system and get UCI & file numbers from 40 to 45 days.
4- They send AOR to applicant from 45 to 48 days!
And I think After CIO level these could happen next at Local Visa Office level:
1- CIO transfer applications to their assigned local visa offices within next 3 weeks after EP AOR date.(Transfer)
2- Visa Office will start processing received applications within next 1 to 2 months after application delivered to visa office (In Process)
3- They send Medical request and RPRF within next month after they started processing application (Medical and RPRF request)
4- They receive Medical Results within next month after medical request date If applicant go to do medical without any delay. (Medical Result Received by Visa Office)
5- They will finalize application and send passport request within next month after medical result and RPRF received (Passport Request)
6- They issue visa and stamp passport and send back passport in next two weeks after they receive passport! (Visa Issue)
The whole processing time will be 45 days at CIO level and 3 months(MINIMUM) to 6 months (MAXIMUM) at Local Visa Office level (because any of rows 2,3 & 5 can be done in few days!)
any application out there who are still in line with this schedule?? I doubt
