Preapproval timing

I applied on 30 November 2021. As per my lawyers early November applications are now being processed, so we should get to know by end of May or early June 2022. However even after pre approval there is a long wait for Biometrics, I read in some forums that Q1 2021 pre approvals are now been given appointments for Biometrics. So I don’t expect to receive a biometrics appointment before Q1 2023. The GV process is a long one and probably takes close to a year and half (at the minimum) from application to resident cards.

FYI we’ve created a form to collect all important key dates of the application process including application submission to pre-approval. Would appreciate if folks here could add there dates here (you can re-submit as you progress):

Results:

Thanks!
