My father in law is a ex-servicemen.
We applied for his TRV on 15th feb, submitted app package in chennai office. His Visa got approved on 22nd feb.
We all are quite suprised with an early approval. We were of the imp that his visa is gng to be denied. Looks like its upto the case officer who is processing the app.
A faster approval for defense services personnel is likely, if the TRV applicant:
1. Retired from the defense services many years ago
2. Quit the defense services and then took up civilian employment
3. Was not holding an operations-type role. For example, if s/he worked in administrative departments
4. Was not posted in border areas (non-family type postings).... did not work in high-security areas..... did not handle highly-sensitive information.... did not serve during a war
5. If s/he was not working at a senior rank in the defense services/ judiciary/ police, etc
6. If s/he has a very strong travel history
