Reasons for the delay? Well, it could be that the prcessing officer has too much to do (or is lazy). Or they are doing background checks. Or the backlog of cases to be processed is long. In any case, it does not matter - because all you can do is wait (or cancel the application).

Please note that, as soon as the DP is issued and his WP cancelled, he will not be able to work any longer. I hope that is what you want?

@beppi thanks for your prompt response.How long it will take to process the application.

Is there any way to ask them to expedite the process.

@Durga Devi78 The process takes as long as it takes - usually between two and six weeks, but there is no guarantee for this. There is nothing you can do to speed things up. But why would you want to???
