Hi,
My wife who is a registered nurse applied as a PA and myself a dependant spouse(profession- insurance underwriter) on August 1 2011. What would be an average time we would hear anything from the CIO or VO like the acknowledgment letter, fee receipt and file number. I must also say that i was a 2004 PA applicant but after updating the updated docs on 2008 our file went to dark. But when we applied this reversing the PA we have quoted that some of my original previous employment docs is with the Newdelhi CHC. Do they accept such applications.
regards
Dream
Based on the timelines of May and June Applicants, you should receive your PER (hopefully not NER) between 1-4 months with 2 months being more common. Good luck! :-)
