Moscow Application Processing Office

[magpie]

same in my ecas. But i dont think that means visa is coming. Well... not for moscow VO

Not necessarily.  Depends on how your VO processes the file.  If I am not mistaken they then check the Police clearance and send out the PPR.  We received the PPR and Approval in the same letter and had Passport with Visa within 6 days according to the date stamped on the visa.  But if Medical Êóñìýâ is on ecas then yes they have your file at the VO

Thanks magpie. So it could be good news or it could be the same old.

Actually her status on e-case still says "Application received. We received your application for permanent residence on July 20 2011." Under that it says "Medical results received." I guess e-case isn't really anything to go by. I've read on here of being receiving their visa and their status still says "Application received".

When does the line "IN PROCESS" appear on e-cas?
And what does "in process" actually mean?

meaNs that they opened ur file and started to work on ur file...

[magpie]

When you see in-process on ecas it means that your file is received at your VO and has been assigned an agent who will work on it.  You should see soon on ecas also Medical received if your did your medical before submitting your application.  If you did then you will see it as probably the next step.  Once you see that then they go through your Police clearance and if all is okay you will receive your PPR.  95% of the people who receive their PPR are general speaking approved.

Its been a month since i got approved as a sponsor and VO is being silent, waiting is killing me.

From what I understand,  Moscow is a slow VO for processing.  You will just have to be patient.  All good come to those who wait.

This waiting is frustrating. It's been nearly 200 days and we've heard nothing. Who has received their visa, and who is also still waiting?

Still waiting here. But my wife got her interview date. I think maybe it was because we wrote some nice letters with our second TRV application . We explained in my invitation letter the importance of her being with me in canada while we waited for the PR to get approved. I think they said F..It just give her an interview date . Just my thoughts though...

[atethepaint]

Wife received an email today requesting a translated and notarized copy of her birth certificate (I can't believe we didn't see it was missing from the huge pile of papers). Also, ecas now says "In Process"!!!! Yahoo!!

 I have been waiting so don't worry you're not alone. I summited my file Dec.2010  Been waiting on a background check from her government for 7 months now.  I should add that my wife is not from Russia, but the CDN embassy she needs to use is the one in Moscow.

epcortek ,

 They are having the interview to gather information to see if the relationship is genuine. They will ask many questions with regards to your family. She may need to tell them your family members names, birthdates,what you do for a living, where you live, things that a genuine couple would know.

[Ms.X]

I am also using an embassy that is not in the country my husband is from. I assume this means it will always be longer as they have to work with the  neighboring country

Hopefully, though, they will still be quicker than what is listed online.
