Hey All,
So I've applied for Skilled migrant category residency and these are my timelines:
EOI - Dec 2016
ITA - Feb 2017
Docs submitted - March 2017
CO - April 2017
Case manager is really good and keeps me informed on the application and has advised that everything is in but she's waiting for national security check to come through. Just reading through the forum i can see that there's no set time frame for it and for different people it takes a different length.
From what I've read, not everyone has to do these checks and it's "random" and i'm a little surprised i had been selected for this.
I was born in Pakistan but moved to UK when I was 12...all my schooling and 5 years of job were in UK. I don't even hold a Pakistani passport anymore nor have I been back for a long time. i'm a bit skeptical about this and feel like i'm being penalized for being born in Pakistan, that's it.
would be interesting to hear your thoughts/feedback, am i being a paranoid cry baby or is there a reason? are they even concerned with Pakistan and just doing a check on my UK info? i want my residency to come through ASAP as I've been approached by a recruiter for a dream role!
