CIC have published new average processing time on their web site. London shows as 45 months average for applications received BEFORE February 27, 2008 and 13 months for applications received BETWEEN November 28, 2008 and June 25, 2010 for federal skilled workers.

That's based on the full package of documents you submit after the 120 day e-mail right?

Yes.

Keep in mind I know of cases that will be well over the 13 months quoted here. So take these timescales with a large pinch of salt.

Is it just me, or is it very much as though CIC are going backward with their processing times? Wasn't there a time when they were hoping to decrease their processing times to 6 months max? I'm sure I had read that somewhere....

Thanks. Any chance you know of cases that are well under 13 months..!?

looks like they have just added on the 4 months where they were moving the Islamabad office to London
Was'nt the previous estimated processing time originally 9 months? (for the latter FSW dates)

I used to - before June last year and then POOF they slowed back down again.

There are quite a few. One notable recent one is Funky Florist at just over 9 months from AOR to Visa's. Check out their signature timeline here - http://britishexpats.com/forum/member.php?u=133702

Last quarter also showed 13 months, so no change. I was expecting it to extend out further as things seem to be taking much longer now. The pre feb 2008 has moved from 44 to 45 months.

I've given up looking at it. We are on the self employed route and our original AOR said 12-18 months. We submitted all of our documents last August after the 120day letter and are now waiting for meds. That makes it 18months since we applied and still nothing. And now our processing time online is reading 42months. Gah!

If it is the case then I should at least get news from them this month. It is my 45th month.
