I called AINP last Tuesday and tried to understand the realistic approximate time, one should wait to get the AINP Nomination after getting the file no.
The person informed me following things:
- If you have got the file no., it means that you are found eligible for the AINP nomination and you will surely get it if all the rest of the requirements requested are fulfilled (documents requested later on).
- Secondly, the max time which can be taken to issue the nomination is 10 months approx.
So according to him for my time line (app date - 3rd April / File No. - 12 August), I should be able to get it around May end or June 1st week, in worst case scenario.
Hope this information helps.
