Saudia is not that bad in their list I have been there also for Umrah, but Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan you people can understand
specially Iran.
Stay positive not all the cases have to go through like us.

Same here, as i have also no travel history , I think background check will take longer if someone has travel history. bcz they have to get information from countries where u have visited in past, so thats why it is time taking process.
So i guess if no travel history u may get PPR within 3 to 5 months from remed date. and if u have travel history then it may take around 4 to 8 months depend upon the country u visited.

I wouldn’t think background checks are long procedure in today’s day/n age, put your name into few databases and boooom there is.
What’s taking 8 months to check? It’s a lame excuse on CHC-I side to scare people off (maybe) not to marry back home.
How can a procedure that took 3/4 months went to 7/8 months now takes 26 and more months.....
Have our PC,s slowed down? Are we working less efficiently or just being lazy, Pakistan’s Gov. & its dif. agencies are as corrupt as they were few years back, nothing really has changed in Pakistan.

Solution to the problem is simple: “The Hon. Harper clan needs to go” ;)

There is no delay in Background checks, CHC-ISB has very limited human resource which is causing delays.
If anyone tells you that it is taking 6 to 8 months in Background checks then they are just commenting on what they heard from other people.
