Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and went through this thread. I really appreciate how members help one another. Here is my TL from GCKey:
Application Received: March 15, 2019.
Background Check: Your background is under process. We will send you mail if we need further information.

As i went through the thread, members go through BGc after medical. However, mine is initiated immediately. Can some one explain this to me?

I don't think there is a sequence or a pattern.

Why is your BGC pending for a year? Is your case complicated or other factors involved?
I hope it normally doesn't take this long

Hello everyone. I m new here. I ve a few questions i hope i ll find the answers here tht i need Inshallah.
I got married in jan 2018 to a canadian. Now the problem is he couldnt submit the pr application yet due to some personal issues. Now he has been asking me to apply for visit visa. My questions are;

Will it be a problem tht he is going to submit the pr application so late?

Should i apply for visit visa before he applies for pr or after?

Will i be eligible for visit visa cuz i ve no travel history on my passport cuz i ve a job n i hardly get any time off.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Having record of Multiple visits before submitting the PR Sponsorship application is a good idea. If you can't get visa, do ask him to visit you before you submit your application especially if yours is an arranged marriage.

Also try to keep record of all the communication you both have had since your marriage. It helps in the application.

If you have a case where you both are regularly in contact and have met frequently, they will not refuse you PR.

Congratulation. I submitted my passport 30 April to VFS London too. I don’t know how long it takes London VO to issue the issue.
