Has anyone noticed a difference on paper vs online application timelines? extensions vs initial? I see wildly different timelines from 2 - 8 months on here. Mine was online, submitted June 24th, already gave biometrics in 2022 so they linked immediately. When i applied avg processing was 99 days, now its 154 and ive been waiting 129.


Waiting is horrible. The avg processing doesnt help with understanding how much longer we will be waiting as this thread demonstates, it could be any length of time :(

I have a question about shipment. How long does it take to receive the document after final approval? I have some documents to receive (including mine and my family's).
