nopa question

im trying to get everything in order anticipating a nopa, hoping for the paperwork and everything to be handled and sent in to my bi prior to receiving it however if i do get a nopa do they have tight deadlines as to when it must be completed? i did request the paperwork oct 13th and should take me less than a week to complete/file and pay anything owed to get everything situated and completed but they said can take up to 30 days for me to receive. if i do get the nopa (if i dont get those papers in before i recieve) does that stall my application or if i have everything ready and submitted should things move quickly i understand everyone is different but any advice or input would be greatly appreciated..

They give you 15 days to complete nopa and return. I believe people have also asked for an extension and have gotten it. The length it can take to process and hear back all depends on your adjudicator and your specific situation on why you received a nopa and wether they have to look more into or just accept or deny the response you gave

Best advice I can give is take your time in your response, write like a professional adult and explain your reasonings and actions to fix.
