I am confused by IBIS
While most people seem to think that one of the reasons for slowdown is the IBIS check, which we also assume happens before the application is approved.
And on the other hand, I have seen messages from people who went for stamping that the officer asked them to wait till he gets the IBIS check done ( which they claim takes around 20 to 30 minutes).
My question is when exaclty is this recently introduced IBIS check done. And if it only takes 30 minutes, why are approvals coming so slow ???
Hence, I guess we should look elsewhere for reasons for the slowdown too ..
Regarding the # of responses in this site -- its around the same percentage of people as before ( of the total people that apply) and the # of approvals even in this small sample looks awfully less than say 3 months ago ..
