Visitor Visa still processing after 8 months

[HemdonG]

Hi All,

I applied for my parents visitor visa back in December 2023 from Pakistan through GCKey.

It's been almost 8 months with no update to their application. I followed up with IRCC back in May 2024 and they told me to wait.

It's incredibly frustrating and I don't know what to do next. I applied for GCMS notes for my dad and they seem to be stuck on security clearance.

Can anyone advise me on this and if anyone experienced this issue before?

Thank you,

Is there a reason for them to require longer security process like served in military, senior government worker, etc?

No, they never served Military. It's soo stressful honestly.

What is the timeline? Is the background/eligibility already processed?
