Just wanted to let everybody know that I applied for visitor's visa for my wife and got it approved until passport expiry date. I submitted online application after I received SA, Medicals and Biometrics. Below links were useful in preparing my application package:

It is possible, but way tricky, takes TONS of argues for them to let it pass.

Congrats if you've been one of the lucky.

I think its cause our principal applicant is from Pakistan. No files for Pak applicants have been transferred or atleast not updated on tracker. Maybe london visa office is overloaded with apps
True, I don't know why but I have seen some applicants from Oct/Nov still waiting their files to get transfer. It has been more 61 days since I have received SA, MR and BR. After that nothing!

What doe pre-arrival email represent? Is it like saying you passed the eligibility and now its time for BGC?

Does everyone get pre-arrival email or is it only just some VO's or just some applicants?

Does Mississauga send these pre arrival emails?

Hi all - just wondering if anyone might be in the same boat as us...

In April, we got notice that the app been transferred to Sydney, Australia and shortly after that an FBI background check was requested (my partner worked in the US for a few summers). The letter said the FBI document must be received within 30 days and failure to do so could result in the refusal of our application. It was a bit of a tight timeline with a 2 week wait to get his fingerprints done and Easter holidays were in there. Anyways, we received it online, printed and mailed it to the Sydney office last week just within the 30 day timeline. My worry is that we haven’t heard anything back though...nothing to say they have received it.

It’s now past the 30 days and still nothing so we also emailed it to the office. Still haven’t heard back though?

I’m just nervous something has gone wrong. Does anyone know if they need the original certificate not just the one from FBIs online service? The original is being mailed from USA to Australia and hasn’t arrived yet.

Am I panicking over nothing and its normal to not hear anything when requested document is sent?

Thanks teamfor any help/support!

hi I have the same issue with my husband's name(PA) before. We sent webforms like 3 times, then i called ircc here in canada. they confirmed that they received the webform and will update the name on their system later on. they gave us a go signal to do the biometrics even the name on the letter was incorrect. He just needed to bring his passport for verification.
