Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[kelKel]

yeah its a little more stressful now than I had expected. I dont intend on going to Canada til April anyway but I really just want to know its ready.

whats the usual waiting time for Buffalo?

It seems to vary alot of people get approved anywhere to 3 to 6 months. Some take a little longer. I'm a worrier so that doesn't help any.

Nice spread sheet pinklady. It is interesting to see the time lines...and it is amazing to see how different the times can be! Looks like the London visa office was processing applications pretty quickly after the summer. I wonder why it slowed down? How I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the visa office

Hi everyone: Not sure if I am posting on the correct thread, but I just heard my husband and I were approved to sponsor my parents and brother in the UK to come to Canada. The application has been in processing for 4 years so we are excited! Just wondering how long the application will be now for them to get permanent residence to Canada? The Canadian website says 24 months, but the UK website in London says 6 months... this is a HUGE time difference.. just wondering what everyone else's experience has been?

Hi everyone,

my husband and I are currently doing the paperwork for my application, and our goal is to send it off next week! I thought the waiting times at the London office were a lot longer, but when I browse through this thread it does not seem all that bad! It is nice to know that others are in the same situation, and I look forward to hear how it works out for you all! Good luck!!

Medical results have been received.

Way to go London for getting things moving so fast ...

great spreadsheet pinklady.

nice to see so many people have had their PPRs !
if i was a month behind id be very positive about mine arriving soon but now that I see mine and Millu's being the last ones im trying to think of what it is that is delaying mine!

i knw all apps are different etc but jeese, c'mon London.,,.,. sort it out!

ps.. mine has been 'in process' since Jan 21st with medicals received.

Hey,

I have been peaking on this forum for a while, but just thought I would join as we have pretty much exactly the same timeline and I'm still checking each day like a crazy person waiting for that 'In Process' status to change!

Sponsorship decision made: 8th November

London received my Application: 18th November

Been 'In Process': 21st January

Anyway, just thought I would join up to let you know, that your not on your own!!

Perhaps we've got the same person processing our application and they will find chance to put down their Tim Horton's Double Double and send us some good news soon!

 

[MDU]

Oh good - someone with the EXACT same 'in process' time as me..

il eagerly watch for your name on this forum from now on.


Oh and re tim hortons... its 'Roll up the Rim' month . Maybe he/she won a holiday! arg!

Hi,

I have applied for the Permanent residence under family class and currently my case is under process in LONDON UK. My case processing started on 26 Nov 2010 and i am still waiting. My question is, whether they will ask for Police clearance again or not? i did attached my clearance when we sumbitted our case.

Secondly, if i am applying for the student visa for canada, can i ask LONDON HC to tranfer my case to Canada as i will be in canada?

I will appreciate for your reply.

Hi Naz,

Without being an expert on the subject I would not suggest transferring your file to Canada, I don't think you would even be able to do this and if you did your file would go to the bottom of a very big pile, in fact I would guess you would have to refile your application as there are different processes for in and out of Canada processing. I did my PR through London from Canada whilst I was here on a work visa, and I had no issue. Others have more technical knowledge on this subject, but if your case started processing on November 26th it can't be long before you get your visa.
