Work permit processing time for India has increased to now 20 weeks and has been increasing every week. Looks like WP are not been worked upon. Any one got WP approval in last 10 days ?
i applied in June 2020 from New Delhi, india and still got no final decision. Medical passed, additional documents submitted in December 2020.

A real question is, is anyone from india getting rejections? if yes, they are only holding these application to give approval once covid cases declined. If no one is getting rejections, that means they are not working on these cases at all.

Even I am tracking this timeline.. Hoping it remains stable or decrease.. But keeps on rising.. Week after week. I am in my 20th week as well.. Keeping fingers crossed.
However, ICT work permits are getting approved as I know of a colleague who got approval in May. So not sure when the stages involved are the same, LMIA/exempt visas are being delayed.

Sorry. I did not see your signature already had those details.

Which place did you apply from? I remember you already wrote multiple times, but it is a bit difficult to go through old posts again.

Only other explanation for delay could be that it is getting processed in Delhi consulate. Delhi WP are delayed, i don't know why but seems to be the trend.
WP as such is delayed everywhere not just from Delhi due to border closure. they will hopefully start working on them after 21 July, if the boder gets opened.
