Save to My Plan and compare against typical processing windows when available.

No. Milestones are planning estimates. Official processing times change and vary by post — always check the government site and leave buffer. WHAT IF MY LANDING DATE IS TOO SOON? My Plan may warn when a landing date looks earlier than typical processing. Consider shifting dates or choosing a faster pathway after verifying officially. WHERE DO THE MILESTONE STEPS COME FROM? Published processing steps and standard processing times on the selected visa page, converted into an ordered milestone list. CAN I ANCHOR THE TIMELINE TO A LANDING DATE? Yes. Add a target landing date and each milestone gets a suggested “by” date so you can see whether your plan is realistic. DOES THE TIMELINE INCLUDE BIOMETRICS AND MEDICALS? It includes the steps published for that visa, which often cover biometrics, medicals, and document submission. Always confirm the current sequence officially. CAN I SAVE A TIMELINE TO MY PLAN? Yes. Saving stores the visa, corridor, and landing date so My Plan reminders and readiness scoring can use your dates.
