Friends - I was thinking a lot on the delay and was thinking from all angles and I feel most of the delay has got something to do with our past International Travel History.
May be, everyone can throw light here.. I feel this is how it happens -
After our File Transfer to NDVO, they screen the applications to see if people have traveled internationally. If yes, then such files they keep with NDVO and ppl who have not traveled earlier or only 1-2 countries they send it to CVO. Thats the reason, once CVO asks pp, it comes back with stamping within 15 days, whereas whoever sends PP to NDVO takes forever for stamping...
It appears that NDVO tries to call the Immigration dept of the countries we visited to check if we overstayed, any visa frauds, etc.....
So, bottom-line - the more countries you travel, expect more delays....
For eg., I travelled to US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand (may be thats why the delay)
CVO folks can comment - Have you all traveled internationally in the past?? If yes, which countries??
(this is what happens when Mind is idle too much... i am thinking too many junk things perhaps....!! )
