I think we all just need to sit back and wait this out instead of stressing and comparing TLs with everyone. Everyone's case is different and there are a variety of things that can make a simple case "complex" and push it into the longer processing stream (such as rejected TRV applications, constant emailing to visa centers that also raises eyebrows, the type of application package you put together and how good your proofs were, duration of relationship, etc). Some people get the Pre Arrival but wait longer for DM because BGC takes longer.... this could depend on the applicants travel history (or lack thereof), etc.I hired Laywer, Paid 3000$, Then He find out that Case analyst finalize his/her comments at May-2021 and since that my application not assigned to any officer for final review.
My Question to Laywer, Why people are getting PPR whos applies after me,
His reply, PPR can send by case Analyst by just informing summary of case to Officer but if application is complex then officer will evaluate it deeply and gave PPR. So technically my case is become complex i don't why maybe due to my weight, but application is setting in Q and waiting for any Officer for review.

Hopeing for better
So while seeing some of our buddies here get their PPR within 6 months, I think its best to tell yourself that this process takes at least 1 year (possibly longer due to COVID) and just take the stress out of your day - and if we get our PR in less that 1 year, then that is a happy surprise!
