Dear Sir/Madam,
 
Please be advised that your new dependent has been added to the file.  You will be sent the medical forms once we are ready for you to take the medicals.  Please do not undertake the medical examinations now.
 


does this mean that my application is under back ground checks....or they have just put it under a pile to look at it later....   

[thebeast184]

Probably background checks. But that is still a pile

Hi lucky13,

You are really lucky. I don't know how buffalo VO is processing your application already though you have applied in May 2011. Good luck.

Thanks,
satya.

Hey Satya,
you will get your Visa before i get my Visa
My lawyer have sent a mail to Buffalo on April 10 asking how can we send new documents please give me new file number so that we can update our file? and Visa office have replied very next day and then  He sent my documents and then one week later my status cheged to "In Process"
So CSE works

[lucky13]

You are a May 2011 applicant?  OMG you are LUCKY 

Yes I have applied in May 2011. Thanks
My status is changed to "In Process" and New line is added "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on April 18 2012" on 23 of April.

And I also Got a letter requesting additional documents :-
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
In order to continue processing your application, the following is required:
1. Work and Residence History From Jan-2011 to Present.
2. Updated Job Offer letter from Canadian Employer
3. 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 India Tax Return
They have given 60 days to submit requested documents


what does it means , if i submit requested docs then they will issue medical request form? or is it negative sign?

Regarding the updated job offer, I already ask to my employer and he will provide the updated job offer letter.

My main consern is :-I didnt file tax for the given period, my income was lesser than minimum income needed to eligible for tax--
and I have 6 years of experience, but i have only 2.5 years of check salary, rest i got in cash.


What should i do for the  tax return? I am so worried about it, Please Advise

Thanks,
Manish
