Sonir, I am a great fan of your "honesty" and "take life as it comes attitude"....really mean it.

+1 for you

mitali, can i know ur timeline. Had u received ur 2nd aor. Ur vo and rbvo date and application received date. Mine rbvo since 12june but still no 2nd aor. Pl reply.

 

[mitali]

aNil,

Thanks...

And Yes!, even we were surprised as we had given up all hopes of getting the Visa this year. We had thought, that since NDVO is handling high number of student visas, as well as getting new inflow of applications post June 2011, it might slow applications of post June 2010 candidates or put them in the backlog.

But, thankfully... We got it this year itself.

I hope and pray for each forum member's speedy processing by their respective VOs. This immigration waiting game truly tests a person's patience.

Congratulations darknight.....Wishing for a happy and successful journey ahead.

Dear All,

I wish to know-
do we have to fill IMM 5444E PR application form for only adults or for kinds below the age of 7 also?
Do one have to pay any fee for the 1st time PR card?
regards

pl tell ur timeline

 

[msagar]

Pls can someone tell me what will happen if an applicant sends in an "academic ielts" to CIO due to urgency of beating the cap pending when he takes the "General" module.

Will the whole application be returned or an NER or the applicant will be called later to send the general ielts.

Kindly enlighten me pls.

HI
I am the sufferer of this. My consultant misguided me about IELTS. I was send my file to CIC on 24th nov. 10 with IELTS academic and received letter on 30th Jan 11 for IELTS general. I send general IELTS score on 5th march. I got second AOR on 12th may 11. and since last 3 months nothing is updated in my status RBVO.
My application is became very slow due to foolish mistake of my consultant (I paid him 70000 INR to avoid mistakes and delays). My point without IELTS was score 61. after IELTS it goes to 73. In short your file will not return directly, they will give you 120 days to submit IELTS GT score. So you appear as early as possible and send them score card without waiting for their intimation . this will save your time by 2-3 month (that is upto next BFD)
Best luck

queencogar,

are u also a pakistani applicant?

Regards,
salman

No, my husband and I are UK citizens, salman.
I believe the fast processing for Pakistan applicants can be explained by the fact that they have allocated a separate team to process the Islamabad applications at London. No other nationality has such an arrangement there as far as I know. Presumably this is because of language barrier issues when checking background such as education and also because of the time difference.

I also think that London is processing very recent applications as fast as possible ahead of older applications because this is one way of getting their average processing time down. In all political situations, targets are all important and it doesn't look good for the VO if despite everything that has been done to streamline the process, their processing times are still rising.

LONDON UPDATE

My husband received a letter today from London VO requesting the following;

Updated Police checks for us both (although they were included originally)

New IM0008 form

Another letter from his company confirming his job as permanent (included originally)

Another copy of his valid TWP (included originally)

I think they are asking for the last two things again, despite having them in the original pack, because we are Category 2 and because of the fraud issues with AEO they obviously want to double check the job validity.

They also returned some documentation (University transcripts) so it is clear that they have already done some processing.
This letter was posted on the 29th July, which was 3 days after ECAS changed to IN PROCES

We have 60 days from posting to comply.
It has taken almost 2 weeks to reach him and of course he will have to post back everything from Canada, so we are getting our skates on now!

This development happened only a few days after a period of our address disappearing from ECAS for over a week and then returning, so that is further evidence that address absence is somehow linked to developments in a file at VO (although I still cannot understand why this should be!)

CAIPS notes have still not yet arrived, but I will advise and give and interesting details when they do.

 

[queencougar]

Yes I do agree with the opinion.
The process seems essentially flawless and honest.
As far as pace of working of various VO, it does vary at different times.
Clear and straightforward cases are processed earlier (I guess).
Any way, good luck for all those who are in waiting.

We have had this discussion before and it has been proven false

Several of us early post June 2010 applicants have very simple cases;
either PA or PA and Souse only, loads of points over the required 67,
high IELTS and education level,
all documents sent exactly as required in the checklists (all notarised/original as stated)
and in our case as Category 2 cast-iron job offer from a large reputable company and also currently working in Canada so easy to verify job as genuine.

Nevertheless, many applicants from other VO and our own in London have sped ahead of us and more recent applicants hae received both meds and even Visas before we even went to IN PROCESS.

London's working is not logical in any way we can see and we have mulled over many a possible explanation in the last 11 months ;D.

I do believe that they have been stockpiling Category 2 applications because several seem to be hearing from London all at the same time now, despite very different application times.
I think they have just allocated them to a team who has been doing something else up to now.I cannot understand why they would do this, but then I don't understand anything much about London's processing decisions!

All we can do is be happy that they are doing something about it now and make it our business to get the requested docs to them as fast as possible and hope they get on with the next step asap :-* ;D

Hi Queencougar,

One step closer to be united with your husband....hurrayyy!!!

1. I agree with your reasoning that separate team has been assigned to process ISB applicants....finally something constructive at London VO. I think they were overwhelmed too with the number of applicants.

2.That will be a good and valid idea to spike up the "Avg Processing times" by dealing with recent applicants first but so unfair for the old applicants...hope they accelerate their pace so that we can congratulate them!! ;D

3. The information that you have provided for your "Returned transcripts" is the best info ever. Now we know for sure that some processing - atleast checking of Univ docs for authenticity is done in RBVO statge.

4.Yeah, unfortunately AEO applicants have to bear the burnt even if they are authentic. In this way they can screen out the frauds, I guess. Hope they have made some tools to detect AEO's at the onset of processing. I read somewhere (I think on the CIC site) that they will be implementing MORE stringent questionaire for the Employer to make the system foolproof. 8)

Congratulations again...

Mitali

I agree that they are doing something about it.
For the several of early post June 2010 applicants, who have very simple cases as you have mentioned, CAIPS notes can provide some answers. And you have already done the same, a step in right direction by requesting the same.
Good luck for future.
