6-8 Months processing

[dnyfyn]

When the CIC says that the processing is 6-8 months what do they really mean?

Do they mean that by end 6-8 months the visa will be issued? or will the medical be called? or anything else?

  Just approximate!!.
There can be + or -, depending on the case and the visa office.

[Qasimamel]

in process means from your point till visa issued (decision made)
 

[MSMirza]

It means that you'll definitely get your Passport stamped, 6 - 8 months before you die of old age!! 


On a serious note, it means 6-8 months till passport request, this is tentative though..

hi friend,

i am not agree with CIC, because i had applied on jan 2011 and from last five month my e status is RBVO.

Seen may people pasting replies received from VOs / CIC confirming time period of 2 years or more, I am clear on this 2 years & want all to be clear. The reply was received from VO & when they say "this office" it is local VO only, although all may not have paid fees to VO since single applicants have submitted fee to CIO but dependents & other fees along with docs are submitted at respective VO but I am sure it is a generalised reply applicable to all.

Now breaking their statement "2 years or more" if Docs/fees are submitted in current month last year i.e. Sept 2010 to local VO then minimum time period is September 2012 but when it comes to "or more" then it is infinite.

Just read it again...2 years or more... so u can't even claim for 2 year... it may be 3 years 4 years 5 years or... it may not come till u become medically unfit. They are not closing it by saying will take 2 years but they are keeping it open for themselves so no one claims...

Just playing with our futures.... I am getting frustrated when i think about the fact that MY FUTURE depends upon few decision makers who may not have been in the system if Govt. had changed.

As they are replying that we may withdraw our applications & we are eligible for refund, I wish if collectively all people in backlogs withdraw their applications not only MI-1 but also those who are waiting since 2004, They will certainlly realise how grave is the situation for people waiting with infinite timelines. If should be "MASS WITHDRAWL"

This will simply throw them out of "business", yes this is business they are doing thinking about their profit all the time & in all the ways.

Imagine a person applied in 2005 waiting for his turn in 2010 & then realises that his application processing will get delayed. He finally applies in Fast Track under MI-1 & get stuck again. Re-applies in MI-2 & finally all is in backlog. Since now we have MI-3 on top priority.... How frustrating.

Certainly we need to come out with something legal against CIC claiming money stuck, time wasted & stagnation of our future....

Me too,
We had applied in Dec 2009, In process with the date line since Nov 2010, so it is almost 21 months now. And now as we are pre June applicant I have no idea how long more we have to wait. Time line increasing every 3 months and we are still far behind

Good Luck!!!
