Dear Qorax, thank u so much for your prompt replies and a few more queries, please!

1. Is IELTS 6.5 in each module (my score)  quite safe for 4131, lecturer in english?

2. Does good score on IELTS play some role in faster processing?

3. Of how many per cent of fsw cases is verification generally done as per your opinion?

4. How many marks for education would be given for 14-year B. A. and 1-year B.Ed? That is 15 year education in total?

5. How often does it happen that one gets MR without having one's status changed to IP, and should those having received their 2nd aor as old as in Aug 2010 from london vo, pre june applicants,  consider their cases in process/how often is it possible their background checks are being conducted while their ecases are RBVO? Please elaborate!

Thanks and regards,

New delhi visa office is faster (please note: there is no visa office named "India". 1 member wrote India as his visa office instead of "new Delhi" and CIO returned his application)

Dear Qorax,

I came across many times you mensioning about visa quota depletion during the year.
Please let me know / clarify the following;

1) Visa quota is alloted from Jan to Dec or Sep to Aug each year?
2) Is it visa office specific or common to all visa office?
3) Are quotas alloted based on total issues of Visa or SW1/Work permit/Visit....?
4) Will they process further only if visas are available?
5) Ours is London VO & we have completed medical on 28th July 2011. Will they process further and request for PHEP or we need to wait for quota? If so approximately how long it takes.
6) As per the previous case analysis London Visa office takes 6 to 8 weeks after medical to request PHEP? Will they stick to that?

Kindly reply at the earliest.

Best regards,

mycan

1. Yes, it is [for any NOC].
2. No. But a poor one could be detrimental. Avg. 6.5 is safe.
3. B/ground checks r done for everyone... what mode it takes depend on many factors - your 'way' of case filing is one of them.
4. Read OP-6.
5. e-Cas doesn't reflect the 'real-time' processing. 'In Process' means the file is being 'worked' upon - what's inside is immaterial.

Dear Qorax,

I also would add one more question.

I have sent my RPRF to London VO, payable at Canada. Will this delay my process?
As on date the DD is not encashed even after 4 weeks? Will this indicate any thing?

Please answer.

Best regards,

1. Calendar year.
2. VO specific.
3. Imm-Cat wise.
4. If it is 'full' - yes, they'd wait for the next yr.
5. Cannot be opined.
6. It is 3-5 months from the date your meds reach the RMO.
7. RPRF d/d payable @ Canada -- No issues.
