I joined this site to get an idea on the processing times. Maybe Pasi and professional 1 can enlighten us more.
My case - I have a 1 yr post grad study here then 1 yr of work exp on a post grad work permit + 2 years on work exp on a LMO from service canada with the same company...i don't know what makes the applications being processed faster than the other.
I wanted to know if you sent all your docs together? I tried to send everythn together..even IELTS so that there would not be any holdup...did take me a bit longer as i was delayed only cause of it and it's the wait and descretion of the Visa office.
Hi Anil_Toronto ,
Actually there is no answer of what makes some applications get processed faster than the others, even out of the queue, it has nothing to do with the category because people were under the impression that category 2 (arranged employement) is the fastest, but apparently there are many of category 2 applicants still stuck without any progress, as well as category 1 and 3.
One thing for sure that might be a reason of the faster processing is the quality of the documents sent to support the application, information, completeness. other thing might be the background and security checks, which might be decided by the immigration officer during the paper screening process of the application "upon receipt" about how deep the background and security checks is going to be conducted on that application.
Because for example, we were thinking that the visa office does not touch the application upon the receipt except for paper screening purposes, and that is completely wrong because in my case, in the letter sent to me By Buffalo for the medical request, it says that the interview was waived on Nov 2009 which counts only 2 months from receiving my application at Buffalo, and they start as well the security checks before processing the application because i was asked to submit the RCMP fingerprint before one month from the start date of processing my application. It was just pending review at that time until april, 30 2010, which means again that they do some calculations and considerations regarding the application received immediately, and not only when they start the processing. Otherwise, how come they decided such a decision on my case before they start the processing of my application by 5 months !
I am not sure on what could be different in your case. But I thought you submitted your full docs little later than me as you were waiting on your FBI clearance. I submitted mine and went to India for my US visa renewal. I came back to US in March. All a sudden in April, I got an email that my file is transferred to NY. And one fine day in May I got the medical request. It is just happening.
