We are living in Panama. My wife is the PA and we filed January 8th, 2025. I'm Canadian, daughter Canadian, wife is American. We heard nothing from end of March, until a ghost update on August 4th. We filed an ATIP on June 12th for GCMS notes, that still hasn't been processed. I got a reply a few weeks ago saying they are backlogged and no estimate for the processing. Today I filed a complaint with the OIC to follow-up with that.
My wife submitted to webforms a month apart inquiring about which VO and also if it was routine or not routine. The same form answer after less than an hour, very weird. The biometrics got sent to Bogota from VFS, but that's the only hint at Bogota. Is that for sure it's the Bogota VO?
In the inspector notes I've learned a lot through LLMs on the metadata of the file. Three requests were sent back in February for security, but it's weird, we needed only Panama and USA for security, perhaps the third is Canada itself. The reason that it could be in comprehensive are our trips to Russia and her being born there.
On GCKey it's shown every time and not applicable for the background. I'm suspecting it's not a comprehensive screening because if it is Bogota because they are notably slow and the threat level is low. We've both traveled a bunch in Canada.
If anyone has any advice on ATIPs or how to deal with getting answers without GCMS I'm all ears. Can't seem to get through on the phone. I know on other forums people are waiting even longer than us for GCMS notes. Anyone have a good idea?
This whole thing is annoying not having statutory times. We have to sell the house before becoming residents, deal with uncertainty in schooling, and also avoid Trump tariffs in shipping household goods avoiding the US now. Knowing things helps. It's a bit of a first world problem, but it is aggravating to see spousal visas from India processed at breakneck speed, and other spouses left to languish in Abu Dhabi for an average of two years now. We seem to be in between those extremes.
