hi guyz...
I applied long back at Buffalo july 2008 submitted all the docs.I had job when i was in canada , at the time of applying i had job so i was exempted to show proof of funds. I came back to india in dec 2008. OCTOBER 2009 i got aor from buffalo. In Feb 2010 i buffalo asked me to submit updated application froms only they didnt ask abt any documents or funds. in the covering letter i told them iam enclosing updated forms and intimated them about my change in address,change in profession. May 2010 i case was transfeered to ND.I got aor on June 3rd 2010.I got another aor this time different file no , when i checked ecas its showed "pending review by a visa officer no action has to be taken on ur side".... i assumed that additional documents willbe asked by vo.Today i.e on 5th aug they refused my visa saying that u do not provide settlement of funds. Now guys what should i do? can i ask them for reconsideration. I am having all funds to show the vo.

Need seniors & other members suggestions pls

No harm in writing a detailed letter to VO. You should give your best try.

If you do not write u get nothing. Consider this letter as last option, attached your proof of fund since last 6 months to show the your case geniue

I think VOs are now looking for all kinds of excuses to dump files. If they needed POF then they should have asked for it. Its a pity as it appears ur NOC has been deleted from those eligible for processing under the new rules. Let seniors advise on the way forward.

Dear Pun

Appeal is an option you always have but the final decision rests with VO

Remember The water has flown under the bridge ,but no harm in giving it a shot,Send them a letter and they might reconsider.

Best of luck

No harm is writing to the VO and asking if he can give you chance to prove the Funds. But since Instructions clearly say to submit all docs at once VO may refuse. There are slim chances but you should try

Mastcanada is right, at the time the application was submitted, those working in Canada were exempt from showing proof of funds (much like Arranged Employment today), and is entitled to having the application processed under those rules.

Definitely appeal on both grounds, but the first is your strongest point.
(a) you met the application requirements in effect at the time
(b) you can demonstrate proof of funds

Definitely, VOs are just clearing the backlog, but if they keep violating their own rules, they'll just end up in a whole pile of lawsuits...

I just discussed this issue with my consultant

Country change Rule --Change is the policy

CHC Must have given bar codes etc with Acknowledgement ,That was to attach all docs that one might want to add at a later stage.

Your consultant should have known that

Any ways not all is lost with proof of funds appeal Now and for greater success appeal through lawyer.

HI,
Buddy,
i was also suffered in condition like urs but not because of proof of funds,because of arranged employment, and if usend them any update, they start all over again specially job and proffession.anyways, at the same time they dont care a lot, if they know applicant apply by himself, i am wriitng a lot sorry but,i just want to you to make sure what you are going to reply by sending proof of funds and a reconsideration letter.
please do not get impatient and reply fastly, take advice and information as much you can because whatever you are going to ask them or reply,it will be regarded as confirmation reply from ur side and they are not going to listen whatever you do after that reply.
so ,brother you have atleast 15 days, i think, may be more than that,
take ur time and preapare final reply,even if u have to send all documents ,dont hesitate,
brother this will be ur final shot.
best of luck

When the letter said, 'No action needed from your side'
that was the reason for you to think that nothing is to be done by you,,

Please write to them fast, time is the key here (with a copy of that letter mentione above)

Explain in detail,,but be quick,,if you delay,,chances go down very quick,,

Good Luck!!
