In country processing time

[tomkin]

Is there a difference between out of country and in-country application processing times.

I have a feeling that in country applications may get processed quicker than others as case workers have first hand knowledge of evidences provided. Where as out of country application's evidences may take time due to clarifications and crosschecking.

I think it will be useful to know ONLY in-country processing times for HSMP approvals.

I request all in-country applicants to update this thread for their processing times.

Moderators, can we please make it a sticky.
