You have done a tremendous technical/data gathering job - can we now talk about the implications of the information:
1. Is there a significant correlation between the FP activity (peak) and actual approval/transfer of cases? Can you run a historic analysis of the average wait times between the two events (i.e. FP received and Approved/Transfered status)?
I usually look over the date when the status of an application changes, for example from Resumed to Approved, or Received to FP sent or something else ... what I can tell is that there is no obvious correlation between the FP and transfers ... there is a Transfers wave somewhere in Apr-June 2003 and the latest FP wave was up to mid July ... the only correlation I can imagine would be that when the transfer wave is close to the cases without FP another Fp wave will be generated ...
2. Is there any supporting scan evidence that CIS is currently woring/approving AUG-02 cases? From what I see - they are all over the grid.
I don't know about Aug 2002, I have data only from Oct 2002, but check Kashmirs' posts, he did a complete scan a few weeks ago up to Feb 2003
Again - many thanks for all your hard work!!!
