JSV to Resident Visa time line

[krshnamurthi]

Hi

Can anyone tell me the processing time period for JSV TO Resident visa?

Also please let me know how many days it takes for getting JSV once I submit the documents to CO along with JSV application form?

I'm sorry, but no. Timings mentioned by INZ, either on pages on their website, or by an INZ employee, are only ever their best guess based on recent averages, never a promise.

INZ has severe backlogs at the moment, because of a botched reorganization and problems with the SMC category, and these are spilling over to affect work on other kinds of visa, so everything which used to be relatively predictable, now isn't.

Is there anyone who has recently gone through this procedure, who can share what happened for them?

This official information disclosure (posted on this forum a few months back) strongly suggests that the SMC team highly prioritizes the JSV to Resident Visa processes once evidence of skilled employment is submitted. That's all I know about this process.
