Congratulations Adi.. :) For question 2, I faced this situation when I was sponsoring someone to get USA visitor visa and not Canada. She only has Given Name in the passport and no Family name. So, as per US guidelines, I had to enter her Last Name as the Given Name and First Name as 'FNU'...

NOC should be same everywhere. Regards, Kishore

Hi Srividya, As far as I know, the roles and responsibilities of 2173 and 2174 are quite similar. I myself a .NET developer but got the nomination last year with NOC 2173. It just includes more of architect or process level responsibilities. However, in my opinion, we can very well justify that...

Thank you for the response Stephny. I'm planning to travel next week and hope everything goes well. Regards, Kishore

Hello Friends, I have a question regarding the first entry in Canada. As province nominees, should our Port of Entry (POE) be NS or can we land anywhere else and then travel to NS. I'm planning to fly from New York to Halifax via Toronto (single itinerary). Could some seniors please guide me...

As per my knowledge, Background check is the stage during which an officer will actually go through your case and all the submitted documents to validate your eligibility. This step is not a random check to verify the actuals on the supporting docs submitted but is a mandatory step for...

Hi Ritawallu, I think, it took approx. 2 weeks for BGC status to show in progress. and after 1 month of this status change, I got an email requesting a copy of my renewed passport. After this, it took 3 months to get the status changed to Approved. Regards, Kishore

Hey Cian, It took me around 4.5 months get the Passport request once I submitted my ITA and then around 10 days to get the stamped visa and COPR. In all, it took 5 months for me. Regards, Kishore

Thanks Cian. On the passport renewal part, it may not be relevant to your situation but I was kind of in a similar phase and just wanted to share my experience. When I got my nomination letter, I had more than 6 months left on my passport but by the time CIC officer reviewed my docs, I had less...

Hey Aditya, I'm not sure of these agencies. May be they can do, may be not. But, i think its worth trying. @GSHARMA05, plz check with the channelers serving your area, if you are eligible for expedited process...

Hi Adi, I did check that option, when I was applying for FBI PCC. We can go through the Channeler but the expedited process is applicable only if you are a Green Card holder or a US Citizen. I'm here on H1 visa and was not eligible to apply in that category. Regards, Kishore

Hi G, I'll try to answer your questions, the best I can. But, any other senior's valuable inputs on these will be helpful as well. Que 1: i have applied for FBI PCC on 8th April (think it will come somewhere around 8 July) which will be more than 90 days time. What should i do now, can i...

I applied for FBI PCC on Fec 11th (not 2nd) and got it on 17th May. However, I did this when I was still waiting for the nomination from NS. Below are my timelines: FBI PCC applied: 11 Feb, 2016 FBI PCC received: 17 May, 2016 India PCC applied (Houston, TX embassy): 15 Feb, 2016 India PCC...

Hi G, FYI. Just wanted to share my timeline, so that you may plan accordingly. I applied for PCC to FBI on 02/11/16 and received it on 05/17/16. So, it took more than 3 months for me. Regards, Kishore

Hi G, FYI. I too live in US and got the India PCC from embassy here. Process is that, you apply for the Indian PCC at your nearest embassy. This comes under Misc. Services. Embassy will send the request to your respective Passport issued location in India for clearance. Once they respond back...
