In my experience, the ITA date has very little correlation to anything.. things that we don't often mention, like if they asked for extra documents etc, seem to have a greater effect on the processing time.. also the date they started processing, AOR, submission date, and after all of that, ITA date, seem to have a higher correlation to the actual processing length. Plus, for our sample group (people with DM and no PPR), I don't think anything except for inland/outland and category would effect anything.iceberge said:
Ostensibly, after a decision is made, different categories and people inland vs outland might have different correspondence requirements, therefore perhaps different queues.. in either case, I don't think ITA would reveal much info..
I tried to keep the form as minimal as possible. If enough people add their ITA to their comments we can always add it. (it happened for inland.outland, people organically added that info in the comments column and as the majority thought it was relevant info, we added a column for it.)
