So annoying. Early last week we received email for RPRF and medicals stating medical instructions will be sent seperately. So far they have not sent us the IMEI numbers or instructions for medicals. Have already sent them CSE

Dears Folks,

Despite of hiring a consultant I have to raise CSE by myself on 23rd May and today I received the response from Visa officer to submit RPRF and Background declaration forms for family members over 18 years of age within 30 days. Furthermore, visa officer mentioned he already send the request on 13th may but applause to my consultant they missed the email.

Moral: Always keep an eye on your case by yourself.
What is the signature of the officer who replied to your CSE?

Why are they not sending me RPRF request ??? :-X :-\

Hi guys,
I am so annoyed right now, I just talked to my bank and they told me that my bank draft hasn't been cashed yet after ONE MONTH....... :'( this is incredible, I don't understand how they work. The DD arrived to LVO the 28th April and nothing .... I really don't know what to do...

That is what making me in opinion that LVO works on cyclic days basis when it comes to sending DD to Canadian bank.

Standard Chartered Pakistan's info on DD encashment is really good. They usually don't tell you, but if you pursue manager, he'll get back the info in 3 / 4 days from HQ in Karachi. Also, there cheques are cleared with in a week in Canada because they use New York account for the payments in Canada. I remember for my DD to CIO, I visited bank the next day after getting PER, and asked manager about DD, and he told that it has been cleared a week ago (I asked him to get info 3 / 4 days before) and in PER it was dated as July 02. Got PER on July 09.

In my view, LVO simply send us emails in batches for a bunch of applicants.
Let say if 1112 who were interviewed on 24th till 27th Feb, received RPRF and medical requests between Apr 15th to April 19th and were initially given 60 days to revert.
Now they are not gonna go back before the initial time line i.e. 60 days are over or close to over -irrespective of BGCs status whether completed or not. In the mean while, officers try to conclude other cases and send out emails requesting bla bla bla to another group.

I presumably say so as I always avail the entire period given to me by LVO in respect of any update they need and Alhamdulillah my process is still in line with my other 1112 folks.

Nevertheless....hunches in bunches :(

WAKEUP LVO

Hi Farhan,
I agree with you LVO might be cashing DDs on specific days every month, but I don't think they have to wait till they cash the DD in order to move to the next step. Finance people in the forum can correct me, but I understand that a demand draft is like cash (a guaranteed payment).

However I think they start looking back at the application again on the Bring Forward date they set in the system which is usually the time period given to you to send the requirements (30 or 60 days).

Two to three days for your data to be uploaded.

And then the following Friday morning the third line should have appeared.

But its okay if it has not appeared. Unless you do not hear anything from Visa Office, consider it to be accepted. Mine was uploaded on April 23rd, Haven't got 3rd line, and many forum members assured that it happens sometimes.

Dear Experts,
I need your feedback on this issue related to my personal circumstances:
I live and work in Saudi. After I applied for FSW2013, I got a temporary residency permit for 3 years in one European country of which I have not physically lived in there because of my job in Saudi.
1) Do I have to inform LVO about this residency permit in Europe?
2) Do I have to submit a Police clearance issued from that European country for the past year although I have not lived there?
3) Do you think that LVO may transfer my file to another visa office responsible for this European country of which I have a residency permit despite the fact that I live and work in Saudi?
4) Will LVO consider getting a residency permit in Europe but not living there negatively?
I appreciate your feedback and advices on this issue.
Regards,

Dear Brother,

Since u have lived on that country (only rcvd the work permit) then all of the ans is - NO.

This permit (without living there) will not have any negative impact on ur FSW application...

So just chill... 8)
