If they take so long a time to grant visa, why they asked for MR, PCC, PP etc. so early? PCC will expire soon. Will they ask it again? And how long will they hold our Passports?
truthseeker4pr said:Federal (Total) - Federal Skilled Workers (C50) (Persons)
CoPR Issued at New Delhi is 5066 (End of June 2012)
MI-2 and MI-3 is given priority for visa issuance then Total of MI-2+MI-3 is 5904 (persons) is still to receive visa.
Now Visa left until 31 December 2012 is approx. 3000 (persons), We all know visa quota of New Delhi is approx. 8000.
Hypothetically MI-2+MI-3 category will not be cleared by end of 2012 and approximately it will clear around March-April 2013.
Total of 12456 (MI-1) needs visa and it will take longer than expected to clear this inventory (may be somewhere in 2014)

It was a case of change in family composition. He must have informed them about his marriage and they asked for visa processing fees for his spouse.
Just like when there is a birth of child during processing, they do ask for the updated information alongwith the fees.
Even in their CSQ replies to many MI-1 members, they have said that they are needed to be updated ONLY in case of change in familly composition, change in address, change in representation etc.
