Confusion about how to send PPR documents to New York VO

Hi @veemi002 @gvrt88

I have a question. Do either of you have a US citizen dependent (or from some other visa exempt country)? If so, do you see their name under "document status"?

My online account says application approved. However, in the "document status" section at the bottom, I only see 2 rows - one for me and one for my spouse with details like travel document number, UCI, etc. The two of us are India passport holders. However, there is no row for our US citizen newborn baby, who I had added to the application last month and I had sent her documents in a 3rd envelope. I had got VFS status email for her as well (that is was under processing at IRCC). Does not having a row under "document status" for her mean that CoPR was not issued for her? That seems incorrect.

Hi, we sent our passport to VFS NYC VAC yesterday, but forgot to write the application number on the back of the photos. Will that be an issue? Has any of you gotten a request to re-submit photos because of this?

Yes! I just checked the online account and it says this at the bottom of the page "Final decision
March 24, 2022 Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details."
Great Congrats! If I am not wrong your passport were sent to IRCC on 17th and IRCC had received them on 18th .. is that correct ?

Additionally, seems like we forgot to superscribe the application type and reference number on the envelope. Would that be an issue? :confused: This whole process is unnecessarily confusing. :rolleyes:

Don’t worry about superscribing envelope. I also had forgotten to do it, but my application got processed just fine. Regarding writing application number behind photo, my guess is that it should not create a problem since the photo is in same place with all the other documents. But I did write the application number so can’t tell for sure that it won’t be a problem

Great! Thank you! Someone on the other forum said that they did not have issues with the photo not having the app number on the back. So hoping for the same!

No email. Just the status changed in the portal to 'Application updated' and I could see the new unexpired counter foil details that they apparently attached to my passport. It's not a Ghost update per se, as I still see updated details when I click on the application details.

did you recieve the passport or dispatch email??

Guys,

whoever received CoPR and Visa recently and planning to visit Canada border for PR activation through land. Could you please share the plan and better options based on your research?

I am planning to visit detroit-windsor tunnel for PR activation and return to US in 2-3 days. I see multiple locations in Detroit, can someone suggest which one is better option or no differences based on location and I can go any location near to my place (Chicago)? Please suggest.

Windsor tunnel
(or)
Ambassador bridge
(or)
Blue water bridge

We got an automated email from NYC VFS stating that "they have received our courier package but have not verified it yet". Does everyone get this email on package delivery? Also, does this mean they have started processing or just that it has been put in a queue. Also, how long did it take for y'all to get tracking id after this email?

Yes this is the initial/first email some people get (not all) once VFS opens the package. Please see all my past messages on this thread and you will be able to piece together the exact timeline of various progress steps
