By the way, EVEN with this 18 month wait letter, no matter what anyone says, I'm STILL sticking to my theory of "getting visa in 3 years from Full docs (+-3 months) for 80% MI-1 cases".
20% exceptions r always there....like Sibbi (full docs Nov 2009) does not have medical yet....and Jawad ali (full docs Aug 2010) has visa...
My friends who I am in contact with via phone (arsh, zeeshan, gillani, 2 calgary), know that since 1 year , even before/after we got 6-12 months wait letter, I have been saying this to them for the past 1 year:
"according to my timeline (full docs in end of October 2010) I expect
updated docs in March-April 2013,
medical by June-July 2013,
and visa by Dec 2013-Feb 2014.
I calculated the above estimated timelines (+3 years) for my own case, in Jan 2012...but with all these recent developments over the past 1 year (two wait letters), let's see what happens...only time will tell if my theory, which I made in start of 2012 (based on the visa results till Jan 2012), will come true or not. Results show that it has ALREADY come true in the PAST till end of 2012. Whether or not it comes true in FUTURE, that remains to be seen. I'm sure All will have MR in 2013....Visa, ofcourse, some in 2013, some in 2014.
P.s:
To the missing in action boy "Arsh":
remember when u got happy upon getting wait letter and thought we might get visa sooner, and I told u "I still think it ll take its full time of 3 years"
