Background Checks -EXPLAINED >>>

[slavasz]

Captain Qorax,

I would like to know if caips notes & gcms notes the same? If not, how can i order gcms notes???

Thanks
T.

caips notes & gcms notes ARE the same, because CAIPS is the old system, and GCMS is the new one.

[qorax]

ok dear
BUt can u tell me what is the meaning of immigration record with the IO's notes and how much time it takes?
 please

Probably he [ur agent] is talking about CAIPS/GCMS notes.
But, if u have a docs request - u should send them asap, w/out waiting for any further 'notes'.

[qorax]

To Captain QORAX,

1st of all thanks for the advice on MR. It's smoothly done.

Now I have a question. For Pakistani applicants Passports are requested in two steps. (1st Passport copies and 2 photos to be sent to CHC, London and then after a month or so original passports to be sent to CHC, Isalambad)
As this MI-3 is said to be the fastest one. And I have received my MR very early than MI-1 and MI-2. SO are there any chances that I'll be asked directly for the Original Passports to be sent to CHC, ISB skipping the 1st step?
And after our Medicals are received, in how many days i'll be having the Passport request and through which source i.e. E-Mail or courier or snail mail.

Your replies are much appreciated.

Thanks alot.

No.
That's a policy [for u guys, whether direct CHC-Ldn or Isb to Ldn cases].
Usually PPR [in ur case '1'] arrives by 3-5 months from the meds [recd @ RMO] date.

Just what the name says, a check of your background. You can do it yourself, just visit one of people search sites. Mind you, you could be surprised at what they know about you.

Hope I helped.

Qorax Sir,

You mentioned under 'security check' that "If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage."

And i got email from ndvo around 3 months back that my final review is pending.

Does it mean my security  check is over?

Kindly help

Thanks a tonne

That's a term they use sporadically... could mean nothing... might be a regular review - could be an actual Final Review [post med's secondment - b4 PHEP].

Thank you so much Sir. I'm hoping for the best. Its been long long time since I sent my PP !

And as far as I know, not even a single person got their PP back from NDVO since past 2-3 months, especially pre-juners

hi asammani

That would be the dumbest thing ever.. Never ever directly copy description from cic website. They will refuse your case straight away.. And bdw you are not suppose to write them yourself..your employer writes it according to your actual job tasks. So ask your employer instead to write the actual tasks you have performed...
My reply to him
thanks for reply

infact my boss wrote that  and our HR depaertment verified that because those were same which i performe but mistake was that my boss used same wording which was on cic website.now problem is that the bussines area in which i perfom as accountant has merged with other branch of my company.i mean first my bussines area was under a company which name was(descon Engineering limited)now my department is under(descon integrated projects limited).now they will give my work experience on letter head of descon integrated projects limited. and previous work experieince which i have send them is on letter head of descon engineering limited.so please guide me what should i do

Quote from: sohail-khan86 on January 23, 2012, 06:31:02 am

That is really not a problem.. Only problem is using the exact same wording from cic website since it raises some suspicion for them of being a fake experience. I have seen people in the same forum rejected for doing the same mistake then they had to apply from scratch.if you search hard you can find them as well..

My reply to him

thanks for guidance

one last thing as i am working at same position till to date .so do i have to send them to date experience letter or till that date which i have mentioned in my last work experience letter.becuase as u know my profession (Accountant) is not in current list and do i also have to send them a wrriten explanation regarding this matter

Quote from: sohail-khan86

Well if you are sending them job experience letter then ofcourse you will send them the current one which mentions that you are still employed there.. Ask qorax as well about this matter he is very experienced in this stuff..


This is the reply i got from sohail khan and my reply to him.please guide me i am realy worried

[Haseeb]

SIR, I sent an email to my London VO and got this reply. Does it mean anything? My timeline: full docs sent june 2010, aor in aug 2010 from london vo, status changed to IP WITH RBVO DETAILS in END OF SEPT 2011, NOC 4131!


Dear Sir,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Your documents have been received and placed on file. No further action is required by you at this time.

Unfortunately we are unable to predict when your medicals will be requested as it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected. It is also for this reason that we are unable to give you an exact timeline for when the processing of your application will be completed.

We thank you for your continued patience.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Qorax,
I need your advise as I am so worry about my current situation.Actually I applied as an skilled worker in 2004 and filed my application  in Damascus Office.In October 2011 I were done medical exams and the results reached to Paris on 28 October 2011. I supposed
I would get the passport request within 2 months after that ,but unfortunately it didn't happen.So I just sent the following email regarding my file status 2 weeks ago:

  I have filed my immigration application in May 2004 in Damascus office (). It has already passed the 91 months of my application processing time. I received the medical exam forms in October 2011, with an "urgent" note attached to it. We completed the medical exams quickly and the forms were sent to the office in Paris on 25 October 2011 . I have noticed that the time laps between stages of medical papers and passport request is normally less than two months, which in my case has already been passed. 

  I concern about my file situation, and I assume that by now a decision on my application would have been made. Eight years ago that I filed my application the processing time for Damascus office was about 3 years, and I planned accordingly. But in the last couple of years it has been extended several times and now it is 89 months, and unfortunately I passed this timeline also.  I would appreciate it if you let me know why I must wait such a long time and there is not any priority for the applicants who have passed the timeline ,and for every stage they have to wait for a long time, for example my background check took about 1 year and I was asked 3 times for police certifications after sending it at the first stage on May 2004 and every time, as my case was not processed, it got expired. Now, I am afraid that current political unrest in Syria causes more delay in processing times. Should I expect to hear back about the decision on my file any time soon?

an they replied to my email yesterday as  follow:

 

Please be advised that the application is undergoing further background verifications. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict how long these will take. Once background checks are completed, we will be able to proceed with the application.

 

The medical exam results are valid until 23-10-2012. If the case cannot be finalized within the validity of medical exam, we will not re-issue medical instructions until the background checks are completed.

 

We request that you keep your case status checks to a minimum as we will contact you when further steps are necessary. At this point, we do not need any further information from your side.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
