Just leave the TRV application, waste of $100.0. I applied on November 5th, still waiting for TRV. Called today and they said they have backlog and wont check my application until end of December or new year. So just dont apply because you will probably get PR before they do your TRV.Its a bit frustrating.. couple of my friends got PR within a month.. have no idea how they process the background check.. my TRV has expired last month. Thought, I would get the PR soon, thats ehy did not renew it. But, now it seems, its better to renew the TRV as there is no definite timeline for PR.
