Visa Grant Delay 189

#927

In March 2019, the data is following: Primary applicants : 1438 Secondary applicants : 1398 Total applications : 2836

If we subtract the primary and secondary applicants we get (1438 - 1398) 40 applicants. This means there are 40 single applicants because with the secondary applicants(1398) there has to be equal number of primary applicants (1398) associated with it. And the number of single applicants (40) will have no secondary applicants linked with it.Just for the simplicity lets keep 1:1 ratio for primary and secondary applicants for each case.Now, is it correct understanding that are only 40 single applicants in the month of March this year?

there is another possibility, one primary applicant with 2 secondary applicants: spouse and child.

BTW, what’s your point of calculating single applicants?

#929

Yes even then single applicant count could be in the range of 100-300 i would assume. The point is single applicant might get priority and grants before others. Since the count is far less as per data.

#930

Can it be the other way ? Rather than spending time to clear a single application, they may clear 1 primary and associated 2 secondary - This way the backlog will come down quicker.

Are we getting confused between the quota for 189 invites Vs 189 grants for the year 2019-20?does DHA tallies both at the end of financial year?

#932

Hmm it can be. But logically DHA would pickup easier application with less paper work or documentation plus less pressure on tax payers money first i think.

#933

I dont understand this logic ! How can there be less paper work for single applicant but more paperwork for the files with secondary applicants ? Infact, secondary applicant has to submit less paperwork then primary but that also cancels out because both have them have to show some documents to prove they are together. Secondly, do you think anybody there cares about less pressure on applicants? Thirdly, how can you say that secondary applicant is not a taxpayer ? That is presumptuous. Maybe the 3rd applicant who is a kid is not a taxpayer but the husband/wife ? Why not ?

In all fairness, it would make sense for them to stick to their first come first serve basis until Govt has made some policies which allows them to prioritize one over the other.

Hey eddy, sorry missed it earlier. Do you want to drop your number and I will contact you tomorrow evening ?

#935

well the fact is they may not even process it by submit date. Some occupation and country of origin seem to have more priority than others.

I am not gonna stress abput it anymore. My life will move on with or without this visa

Exactly!!! Unfortunately India is low down in DHA’s priority list it seems


#937

One applicant - Single individual documents Multiple applicants - More than one individual documents

Also the single applicants will be working and contributing more to the economy as compared to dependent applicants. By the logic they might get priority.

I can see so many people on this discussion. I guess we should sign a petition :pleading_face:.

This is my case. What do you guys think I should do? :frowning:

Multiple documents for Multiple applicants = Multiple Grants. Depends, if you have skilled dependents then both will be contributing to the economy, on the other hand single applicant does not necessarily mean that person will find job and contribute to economy. Department hopes that people will be employed but Finding a job is a whole different game altogether. :slight_smile: Anyways, i feel this cannot be a factor which determines there priority. There could be other factors though, which can contribute for their case assignment priority. ( i dont think even Visa agents would have clear answer to that , many a times I have seen them go Lazy on applicants once the fees is in their pocket )

Long story short, we can hardly guess these things and I hope all of us get out of this doubt zone soon. Singles or multiples, its equally important for all !!

True. We can’t predict the order of processing. So, let’s focus on our lives as we already know that if DHA clears the existing backlog 100% , even March and April applicants have to wait for their grants until next FY.
