Effect of living in other countries on Background Processing- NDVO

[sp121212]

Just have a question and I wonder if the senior forum members can help me with this.

If the PA has previously lived in another country for 9-10 years, does that usually result in a longer background processing time? I know it is case-specific but just generally what is the consensus for New Delhi Visa Office? (submitted PCs for all countries lived, valid visa during the duration of stay, no criminal records)

Generally speaking - the more countries someone has lived in, the bigger/longer the background check effort.

yeah that's what I figured. But other than home country, has lived only in Australia for over 9 years... hopefully the checks are not super extensive since Australia and Canada do have good bond in all terms lol
