Girl, dont worry, you are still less than 6 months in the process. I know the wait is frustrating but if you have been following the spreadsheet you would know how lvo works. The average for 2017 applicants is 6.7 months and max time has been 9.9 months for a jan applicant.

Hang in there, lots of April applications have been processed, your month is next. :)

My guess is women in Pakistan hardly work, let alone travel to foreign countries. Their BGCs are relatively easier to conduct than men. I would hate to think that our government is sexist! :rolleyes:

that said I feel your pain sister! I have an excel sheet that is keeping track of everything related to our case and it tells me its been 177 days since I last saw him in person! so yea not a happy person these days :(

Kinza, sorry to say but i feel that is a very ignorant remark. Lots of women work in Pakistan and travel to foreign countries. I was a working woman and travelled to a lot of countries in Europe but still my process took the same amount of time that is average for LVO.

I am not holding any judgment in that remark, speaking strictly from a statistical POV. No need to take offense to general statements, in the grand scheme of things, anecdotal examples don't hold. Granted lots of urban and rural women are from the working class. But their work history is less complicated. This can be attributed to many factors. For instance women marry younger than men do. By the time men settle down in Pakistan they have acquired lots of travel and work experience. It wasn't meant as a slight to anyone.

I agree with you Kinza .. a lot of the women in Pakistan dont work and those who do dont travel much outside of Pakistan .. khair .. dua hi kar saktay hain .. i hope they work a lot on our cases before xmas holidays ..

MM345 .. how is it like when LVO comes back from holidays in Jan? Slow or they pick up the pace?

At the beginning of this year they were quite slow and picked pace in April. Hoping things are faster in the months to come.

must be some generic update then. I was kind of hoping they were working on my file and realised that they never updated ECAS for PA on sponsor's log in details. Oh well. Cheers to some more waiting!
I got DM soon after similar ECAS updates. It's not generic and only happens when someone has actually touched your file.

My sponsor side also did not show full PA details until recently.

Just hang in there. Hopefully, you'll hear something positive soon.

We want to imagine that the government operates free from bias but that's obviously far from fact. I think men's BGC takes longer because of the racial profiling of Pakistani men. They are scrutinized more carefully.

I was asked for additional documents on oct 23,2017. Provided them on oct 31 2017. Today the status in Gc key changed from we need more documents to continue processing for application to we donot need additional documents.

In the coming weeks/month. Lots of April 2017 applicants got DM/PPR on Nov 1. So next turn is of May applicants. Keep following up from your lawyer.

Can i add you to the spreadsheet?
When May Applicant expected??
