    Thank you. Earlier this year my meds were extended for an extra year, only when I brought it to their attention that they were about to expire.

    I'm not 100% sure if it's solely because of my travel history but it's a safe guess because: 1. My friend whose application is (figuratively) a copy-paste of mine and same AOR got his PPR within 6 months. Only difference is he didn't travel as much. 2. I got a request for Additional Document...

    I believe travel history plays a role. My travel history is quite extensive and I've been stuck in SS since February this year. Every time I email LVO asking for a status update they keep saying background checks are in progress...

    Hello. I'm pretty much on the same boat as you. Been stuck on SS for ages. I ordered CSIS notes mid-August. The reply from CSIS came within a few days saying the SS is still ongoing and they cannot release any information until the SS is finished. So I would not recommend wasting your money on...

    Man, get the notes. I'm usually very picky about who has access to my information, but I got the notes and they were quite helpful as to what is happening with my application. https://www.getgcms.com/order-now

    Start sending daily journal / diary emails to them, something like: Day 533: Today I had a swiss cheese burger for lunch. It was nice. Still waiting for my PPR though. Day 534: Today I set a new personal best record on Angry Birds. Still waiting for my PPR though. Day 535: My neighbor's cat...

    Man, no application should take that long. I'd bombard them with daily emails if I were you.

    The average processing time for London VO is 8 months. Unluckily for me they're doing security screening. Absolutely no clue of when this process will end and every time I ask London VO (LVO) they say it could take months. What seems to trigger a security screening is a lot of travel history...

    Like Maged said, can be any. Usually London as a primary, Riyadh as secondary. Abu Dhabi is the fastest. A friend of mine got his PPR in about 4 months. I'm with London, they're the slowest of all visa offices. My AOR is 29-Jun-17. Good luck.

    Firstly I think you've chosen the wrong thread to post this question. Look for other threads on this website. Most people here are waiting for the Passport Request (PPR) email which is the last step. To answer your question though, you'll need the following for a start; Have your degree...

    The form will be in Arabic. Yes it will take up to 8 weeks if you leave the consulate handle it. I recommend you handle it yourself by sending it to Egypt. Make sure it has all the needed stamps (two; one '5adamat' and the other 'tasdeeq 3adi').

    Never did it from Canada. Did it from outside Egypt though. Go to the consulate, fill the form, do the fingerprints, send the form to someone you know in Egypt (by FedEx) preferably sibling or parents, they submit the form at the local police station, takes about a day or two to get the result...

    Hahahaha!! I dieded xD Yea, about that... Those who were first to set foot on the newly discovered North American continent circa 1600 were not very creative with names. For example: New York (US), London (CA), Peterborough (CA), and much more here...

    Good point actually. Upcoming bank holidays in the UK are from Friday 30th March to Monday 2nd April. Long weekend off. We can all agree that our productivity drops when we are looking forward to an upcoming holiday. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if LVO's productivity is 50% on Wednesday...
