Visa grant timeframe update

[Divya]

Hey @MysticRiver ,

We filed for SC-190 on the 9th March. At the time of filling the visa, the visa grant time was from 4 to 7 months. Currently, the visa grant time has risen to 11-15 months.

What my query is, will this new increased visa grant time affect all the applications in retrospect as well?

Cheers.

This time merely shows the maximum time taken for the grants that were issued during last calendar month. So, it has no direct relation to the submission date.

Hey @MysticRiver , Can you please explain it with more detail?

When they said 75% applications were processed within 11 months, they meant that among all the applications that were granted visa during July'17, the quickest 75% was processed within 11 months. It does not represent the average though, it tells you thr worst case scenario of those 75% applications. Also, it doesn't matter when those applications were submitted, it only cares those which were granted last month (and grants doesn't occur in the chronological order of application submission).
