when your spouse in India got the passport request, were there any changes on ECAS ?? NKVTR or anyone else ?

[nknvtr]

No, it is not changed. I guess it would change only after the is visa stamped on PP and sent.

hey guys......i guess we've finally caught up to you.....my husband received a letter yesterday requesting his passport..........they sent back our photos and some other proof we sent in our file.......

just wondering if you guys know roughly how long delhi takes to decide if they will stamp it with the visa or not...  ps my husband has lived in one other country besides India and has travelled to a few others.

thanks in advance

oh and one more thing.......does this mean there is no interview ?

Hi nknvtr

Congrats its such a Great news

My husband's file is also being processed at New delhi office, Did u see any change in Status on ECAS when they requested for your Wife's Passport?? or did it stay in Process till she got her passport back stamped.

[nknvtr]

Thanks Soni.
They changed the status only after they sent the passport with visa stamped.
Good luck!

[sonimal]

Thanks Nknvtr..Cant wait for all this to end...Its been such a wait.

[nknvtr]

How long its been since they received the passport.
I guess it should not take more than 4 weeks. But for some people, it took around 6 weeks.

[OPTIMISTIC2009]

FINALLY !!!!!!!!

I just checked ECAS and the status has changed to " Decision Made ".   My husband received his passport request letter about 10 days ago. 

Our time line is as follows : 

June 23 - sponsorship approved
July 20 -  received in New Delhi and changed to " In process"
Sept.17 - PPR received by my husband
Sept.28-  Status changed to " Decision Made" in ECAS and it states that medicals were received.

Could his passport with a visa stamp for Canada be on its way ??

))))))

Thanks guys for all your help and wish you all goodluck !

its almost a month now since we send her passport to new delhi office, how long it usually takes to get it back, I noticed from other post ppl r getting it back with in 2-3 weeks, any view or thoughts pls reply

[Nitu82]

Hi pshekhu
It can take sometimes 6 weeks too, I am sure you will receive it soon. I sure pray it won't take you as long as it is taking for us.
New Delhi started processing my husband's file on July 7 and we rec'd passport request on aug 10th...Its been over 2 months now since my husband mailed the passport and even this week there is no change in ecas. We e-mailed Delhi CHC and they replied on Sept 28 and said it is waiting for final review. only God know how long there final review takes.
We are patiently waiting as there is nothing we can do but wait.
Good luck to you and keep us posted

Hello Nknvtr: How they will be sending the Passport request letter and Passport after stamp the visa, either  normal post or speed post?

[nknvtr]

They sent the passport request letter (with the photos) by registered post. We sent the passport by Speed post and they sent back the passport with visa again by registered post.
