i just noticed they have updated processing times. I have applied from Nairobi and they have just upped the processing time, which is obviosuly not good news.

I would like to know what they actually mean by processing time? Is it from the time they begin processing the application or from the time they recieve the application. Also does it end once you actually get you visa?

Another question. Do they ask for medicals first or do they asked for documents first or both together. and how long do you get for that? I applied through the simplified process in Spet 06 so I have not submitted any documents so far.

i believe it is the time from the AOR date to visa approval stage. I could be wrong.
