Thanks for your kind wordsYeah you have stated very rightly, with NDVO IP2 is also becoming another long na phase, but I actually think that many of the files in IP2 since a long time (say more than 30 days) and who have not got an additional docs request are most likely approved or about to be approved files. The reason NDVO is not sending PPR to these files or not approving them as yet is because they are not able to handle the stamping rush at this moment. The study visas are being issued left and right and NDVO is flooded with passports to be stamped and hence the delay in PPRs are for us. This is not right, but I strongly think this is the only reason that NDVO is issuing IP2s but not PPRs. Ottawa did this a while back and this was the reason they gave for not issuing PPRs to already approved files in IP2.
Yes, some of the files can also be under some review and some might have extra security screening, but i believe for the majority of people this is the only reason for delay. So best is if you have not already then order GCMS, if GCMS reports everything OK after IP2, then it means your file is about to be approved. Latest GCMS might even tell you if the file is already approved.
Also as you have crossed 7 months, you should e-mail both NDVO and the Ottawa office (as one of our friend here got the approved message from Ottawa), call them, contact them in any way possible and ask them the information about your file, you have every right to bother them as you are far above the maximum time period.
Wish you Luck my friend
I haven't ordered gcms and I ll still wait before I order them because gcms these days takes 35-40 days and I am expecting ppr before that
I have just crossed 6 months so I ll wait atleast this month before I take any step
