    HELPFUL TIPS TO A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION (well, from my experience): Please share with any future applicants you know, to help them avoid CHC stress. What I did: 1) Contact before marriage, after baat pakki/engagement. We had regular communications back and forth first trying to get to know...

    No, I did the filing myself, or I should say with my hubby. But I made sure to get all the information I could get before filing, and asked as many sources for tip as possible: friends, neighbours, colleagues, friends of friends. We started looking at all the forms and requirements months before...

    Don't fear, if CPC-M has transferred it, then it IS with CHC-I, and they should not lose it (personal and confidential info in their custody). It's hard, but try not to worry too much about the file. Unfortunately CHC does not provide any contact through the whole process.. but the more you...

    Really sorry R.Mujgani, I didn't want my posts to bring down all those that are waiting for a really long time, and I had to think a long time before sharing my timeline, but then I figured if it can help some future applicants then I should share, esp. when lots of people were saying that...

    hubby chubby, a file # is created as soon as the file is transferred and received at CHC-I. They should have given you this number in the email/letter when the file cleared and transferred from here. You don't have to send any information to get the file in process. Unless the forms were...

    Hi Tinno, My husband sent it with TCS too, they don't do prepaid delivery, but that's okay. You'll just pay when it comes back. Sawera, thanks! And you're probably right, if it's a re-med and ppr that you and Tinno had done (with 45 days time given) then you should hopefully get the pp back...

    No re-medical. And I was thinking they would extend the medical validity as per the June 2012 changes, but they didn't.

    I wanted to ask everyone who has ordered GCMS notes, just out of curiosity, if you can look at all the dates and times that are noted in the file? I don't know if there is any significance to this, but as the notes don't really make much sense information wise, I just noted down all the...

    Emanzaib, thanks! I've been a silent reader of this forum for over two years, created an account over a year ago too, but never posted, never had the need to. But I see a lot of people getting frustrated now so wanted to help all I can. Especially now since my biggest worry is over...

    Alhumdulilah in 9 days, visa issued in 6 (calendar days not business) .. but his case was rushed more than usual because his meds were about to expire (visa validity only one month), so ppr letter asked for passport in 5 days from letter issue, letter was posted 2 days late, then TCS contacted...

    ghussain, did you send the passport to CHC-I within the time limit they had on the ppr letter (i.e. 15 days or 30 days)? I think they start counting the days from the day the letter is dated, but it sometimes gets posted/received much later. Just a guess, that might be why your passport is...

    Travel history is only bad/hindering to a case if it is to countries that are viewed as high risk/suspect to terrorism, etc. Otherwise travel history is actually very good because it shows that a person was admitted before to various other countries, and that person returned rather than living...

    Not to worry! It just means that the medical on file is expired and a new one is needed. You will probably get a re-med soon InshAllah.

    In note 2 it said PHEP received u/d. frd to fcr which was on June 28, 2012. Please check that your mailing address on file is correct, this looks like the PPR they sent out was UNDELIVERED (u/d) and forwarded somewhere (not sure what fcr could stand for). In note 1 it said PHEP letter re-send...

    Well it does give you time to prepare a better file and have stronger proof. Also takes out the notion that marriage was just for obtaining PR .. but then again in the end you have the same time of waiting to be together, or longer even, just not the headache and frustrations of waiting on CHC...

    Sorry goppy, didn't word it right. I can't say for sure, but it seems most likely.. Jaania and Mrs Amir were both separately told by their MP's to wait till mid-sept and that is when they plan to implement the new policy. It is more likely they will apply the policy for cases that need more...

    They are delaying interview que files till the new conditional visa policy is put in place, and that is also why other cases are getting visa's faster now. My guess would be they will try to clear out all 2010/2011 files that they are not putting in interview que before mid-sept. Then, after...

    So that would mean she has a visa validity of only 3 months, or have they used the new policy to extend her medical assessment without a re-med? Do you know, or her visa is not issued yet? What about the case you've seen Khilafah? It looks like they might be using the new policy for newer...

    Has there been any cases so far where the medical was reassessed rather than having it done a second time? It's been two months since it was implemented, I'm just wondering if it has been used as of yet?
