2015 JANUARY - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICATION

[realismsleeve]

Hello guys
My application has arrived in my country and the consulate asked me a form, does anyone know if they accept to send by email or by mail only this form?

What form is it?

Hi all, first post (at least I think so, didn't realise I had a log in already) from me.

Sent in all our forms for outland in January and were delivered on 9th Jan 2015, acknowledged 14th March. We received the sponsor approval on 30th March, and on 9th April received an email asking for me to provide 2x passport photo, photocopy of passport, and complete an "updated information chart" which they enclosed. I have posted these back to London yesterday, as it stated if you're in Canada for the next 3 months you can send it to Ottawa but I'm going back to England at the end of May for a wedding.

I was under the impression this process in full would be somewhere between 9 and 18 months in total, and in between time I'd survive on a IEC/ visitor visas. The email I received on 9th April stated "Please see the attached document for your final approval and visa issuance." and "Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident visa(s) can be issued, you must now submit the documents listed below.".

I don't want to get carried away, but that seems like it is fairly close to the end, right?

I sent this document with my application of the parent authorization of my daughter for her immigrate to me, but they asked me again, so we did today again at the notary.

where did your sponsor approval letter say the application will be processing? it's quite possible your application is one the of lucky ones that gets retained in mississauga for faster processing. this is common for applicants from the London VO. it is to help reduce overflow at certain visa offices. if this is the case, then yes, this would suggest you will be receiving your approval soon.

Yeah it says Mississauga. I'd be ruddy well delighted if I am one of the lucky ones, the average processing time for UK applicants was 29 months when we checked the other day!

29 months is not the average time for UK citizens going through London. that time posted is not an average and is reflective of the applications from pakistan that are now being processed in London. a majority of applicants at the london vo (uk citizens) are approved in less than a year. most likely 8-10 months. since your letter said it's being retained in mississauga, then yes, you will be receiving your approval soon and you are at the end of the process. I would recommend sharing this information in the London VO thread so your stats can be added to the spreadsheet. from there you will be able to see the "trends" for that visa office as well as others who were processed in mississauga.

Yes! There are a couple of December 2014 applicants being processed in Mississauga who have already received their COPR.

Good, courier it to the Visa Office with a clear cover letter with your application number etc. so they can put it with your file. Good news that they are working on your visa you should be very happy

I would be jumping around the room with excitement, you should be getting carried away, you are close, you are one of the very lucky ones who are being processed fast

Does anyone have the link to the super timeline of processing times. I remember seeing it once, it was like a spreadsheet but had the statistics for all VO's and processing times etc.
