nobody can predict whether they will or they wont..............best thing is to be prepare for the worst if you have the means.........they ask for POF again only when they have doubt on your ability to have required funds of your own or if you have been unable to give them the suffieciet proof....

Thk u a lot haral for yr thouts and advice. As POF i showed them requered amount of money+property just to strenthen the case, but i was thinking to open acct in Canada and trf funds there in a mean time, but i guess i open an acct there and i'll wait for there request first before trfing.

Thx again,
Chami

Dear Friends,

I have applied to CIO in April 2010, received first AOR in June 2010, Submitted full docs in October 2010 and got 2nd AOR in October 2010.

Initially my ecase status was "Received by VO", Then "In Process" Now in "Application Received". Anyone has idea why this has been changed from "In Process" to "Application Received"?

Thanks,
Aran

Hi All,
Need some guidance....
Is it possible to get an extension on submission of "Medicals and Passport"? If YES, then how many days of extension can be obtained? What are the steps to get the extension?

hi all, i was just going through op6 for FSW-1 - this shows that VOs must complete the paper review and make a decision regarding applicant's eligibiliti within in 2 weeks from 120 day deadline......does this mean anyone who did'nt had a DM made in eCAS within first few months should be alright in terms of points calculation and eligibility?? please comment

9.6. Distinction between final determination of eligibility for processing and processing
Final determination of eligibility for processing
All visa offices should use the same approach when making a final determination of eligibility.
Where documents are reliable and information is clear, consistent and well-supported the final
determination of eligibility can be made quickly. Where this is not the case, the final determination
of eligibility will be more involved.
While visa officers must exercise diligence at the final determination stage, they should also
complete this stage quickly, i.e. ideally less than two weeks after the deadline set by the CIO.
Exercising diligence while making a final determination within the ideal timeframe means the
determination will be a paper review of the application and supporting documents. Visa officers
must apply their local knowledge to the application and documents to determine eligibility.
The paper review is not just a confirmation of the preliminary determination made at the CIO. The
CIO makes preliminary determinations without the benefit of supporting documents to substantiate
an applicant‘s self-assessment of eligibility. The availability of documents permits a more robust
assessment at the visa office.
For SW1 (one or more of the 38 occupations listed in the MI), review the documents related to
work experience. These documents should include those listed in the Appendix A document
checklist of the visa office specific forms. They should include sufficient detail to support the claim
of at least one year of continuous work experience or equivalent paid work experience in one or
more of the occupations in the last 10 years. Documents lacking sufficient information about the
employer, or containing only vague descriptions of duties and periods of employment, should be
given less weight. Descriptions of duties taken verbatim from the NOC should be regarded as selfserving.
Presented with such documents, visa officers may question whether they accurately
describe an applicant‘s experience. A document that lacks sufficient detail to permit eventual
verification and a credible description of the applicant‘s experience is unlikely to satisfy an officer
of an applicant‘s eligibility.
