Pakistan Applicants Waiting For *Medical Request*...

[staralihaider]

Dear All,
I received the TCS shipment few hours ago.  The visa office has returned all my originals; including transcripts, degrees, experience letters of my and spouse, marriage contract.  Besides, a letter, which the Start Ali once posted, was also with the shipment stating that i need to wait for 6-12 months.
I do not know what does it mean? any input?

Dont worry and say thank to Allah becoz atleast they have approved your application and you are eligible for further processing.

dont worry....inshaAllah all will be well...its good that they have accepted your application....now just wait for the processing....good luck

I dont know why they are saying that wait for 6 to 12 months and now a days mostly applicants are getting this kind of letter and i think in next 3 months mostly 80% applicant will get this letter, i hope it will not happen  .

Even those who have sent medicals in March 2012. Not a single applicant got Medicals have been received line in ecase status.

It looks  no guarantee that they will process application in 6 to 12 months, becoz from June 2010 till to date they are exceeding time frame and some time lame excuses and some times without solid reason refusing the bundles of applicants, and it can happen that after 6 to 12 months they again say that wait for another 12 months.

Secondly currently they are returning before 2008 applicants applications so its not fair.

This is the reason now a days they are not sending more medicals.

They are sending only new forms request and RPRF/POLICE REPORT.

Keep Pray.

Yes, thanks all. Your comments have encouraged me for which I am obliged. That is a positive move that they have approved my file for further processing. The VO has not opened the sealed my and my spouse`s degrees in HEC envelops.
But the ambiguity is there.  Why do they resort to such letters?  If they will process the cases after 6 months, or within 6 months, is my application on security check OR what?  

I think we should collect the inputs to interpret  this gesture of Visa Office.

Check the above link. Do not forget there is already a litigation in court which is supposed to be heard in June 2012 and if CIC looses that case it will be liable to pay millions of dollars in damages so they are kind a processing each and every pre june applicant in whatever way so nobody can claim his case hasn't processed yet. CIC wants to win the case at any cost. It is not surprising that pre june applicants are getting such kinds of letters and will keep getting. Those pre junes who already have got medicals should be very thankful to Lim Leahy who had filed the case in court and only because of that case pre june applicants are getting processed otherwise if you remember they were advising pre junes to wait at least 2 years or more. Thanks

This is what Tim Leahy advised me by email. I am one of the litigants.


Dear Mr. Leahy

Thank you for sharing this news with me. Luckily, I am not in the affected group because I applied in 2009.

Are you going to still fight their cases in the Federal court under your proposed litigation campaign and for which please advise if you are aware of a trial/hearing date.

Tentatively, June 5th.

OR are you refunding the pre Feb. 2008 litigants their money back? because they don't have a case anymore.

There will be no refund of the fee I collected.

Many of my friends and colleagues received email from the visa office of London claiming that they have been instructed to process all bill C-50 Feb 2008-June 2010 by the end of June 2012.

I wonder how they will process all 168,000 files in the next 3 months. Do you have any knowledge about this that they will finish the backlog end June 2012.

They can't, of course, unless their quota is greatly increased.  The method they are using is to refuse everyone, claiming to be to incompetent to deduce from the employment letters whether the person has been doing the duties of the job.

Some are suggesting that your litigation has triggered this insane action announced by the Immigration Minister to erase all backlog. We may be the passive beneficiaries but the Minister's actions seem unfair to those who waited for several years only to know that they are out of the queue.

My concern is if my file is processed and I get the medical request before the litigation hearing, then what will be my choices? Still asking for monetary damages from CIC or will you return monies and close the case?

Once you get your visa, your court case becomes moot.  Until then, there is no decision to be made.

I will still be seeking damages and, as I said before, there will not be any money returned.  The payment was for services already performed.  (The fee was only for the application; no fee was included for the action for damages, for which I am to be compensated out of the damages awarded.)

Regards,

Tim

I have discussed the with my family friend who is a consultant also.  He says its a positive sign, the best thing they have approved  the case but they have prioritised to open in due course of 6 months or so.  This also suggests that they can process in a month or two..it does not mean they would open the case after 12 months.  Lets what future bear for us.  The good thing is I am out of phobia of being rejected on objections of JD being mismatched or Institution `s calibre bla bla.. which some applicants have faced.

Thats good to know. Good luck to you but the way CIC is now handling cases is all confusing. Now no one can say how long more they will take to issue visa. I hope and pray you get yours soon. Just a suggestion, order your CAIPS/GCMS to see notes of immigration officer and if you have been awarded any points and if you have passed the eligibility review. Thanks

They have but it is better to make sure and check if points have already been awarded and eligibility review completed and any BFD you got. Just my opinion. If I was you I would definitely have ordered my GCMs. CAIPS/GCMS also tells many other useful info. Thanks
