Hi guys,
hope all is going well for everyone!
My husband and I finally planned a vacation to Turkey next month. (July 16)
we received a file transfer to Amman and now we are still waiting for a medical request. (biometrics already completed)
My husband is from Iraq and that's where he lives if they requestion a medical exam from him, can he do it in Turkey? or does he have to wait to get back home.
also, I heard they have to choose the doctor office/ doctor for you?
he can only get time off of work once each month, so if they do not allow him to do it in Turkey than he would have to wait until end of August.
Hey. I don’t see why not. Also the doctor is not chosen for you you just check the area you are at and it gives you a list of the doctors available you then call and make an appointment

Jus for your info. If you are a PR then keeping the vacation time to less than 1 month would be ideal.
Also, He can do his medicals at any approved panel physicians in any country.

Hi There.

We sent our application in September 2018 and was informed in December 2018 that due to a form change we needed to resend all our forms again.

Application was considered to be received on Jan 15 2019.
Sponsor was approved and medicals request was sent on March 21, 2019.
Medicals were received and on March 27, 2019.

My wife has not yet received a letter requesting her bio-metrics.

She is in India.

I am wondering if it is normal to get the medical request before the bio-metric request.....
I am also wondering how long it usually would take to get the bio-metric request after the completion of he medicals.

Has anyone had this type of experience? What do you think our timeline would be before the application is finalized?

Thanks.

Danjee
Hi Danjee

I am in the exact situation as your wife. I passed the medical on 21 March and since then did not hear a thing from Ankara (my visa office). First I thought the biometrics letter was lost but after several checking with our representative we know that it hasn’t been issued yet.

I don’t know how they would carry out our background check without having our biometrics filed...

It is very frustrating situation but there is little we can do other than waiting. Hope we all soon hear good news from them.

i spoke to my lawyer and she sent me this:
Date received: DEC 11 2018--estimated completed date: DEC 11 2019
Review of Eligibility: we are reviewing whether you meet the requirements
Review of medical: passed March 8 2019
Review of additional documents: not applicable
Interview: you do not need an interview
Biometrics: we do not need your fingerprints-if it changes we will let you know
Background check: we are processing your background check. we will let you know if we need more info
Final Decision: your application is in progress . we will send you a message once the final decision is made.

Anyone have any insight on this? how long does background check take? my spouse is in Pakistan

This update is useless. Almost everyone from December onwards has the same status.
Your file has not been transferred to London yet unless you have received correspondence that it has.
Once the file is transferred (not sure when), then expect 3 months for processing. Or more if they require additional documents.

London doesn't process files in 12 months these days. The 12 month deadline is for other offices.
