Hello, we are October 2020 applicants and this this is our timeline so far:

Oct. 11: Application sent
Oct. 19: Application received
April 8: ADR
April 9: AOR
May 29: DM on sponsor side
May 31: SA & VO Amman

Quick question, will they send me (PA) another letter stating that it has been sent to Amman or is the SA letter the only one since it already mentions that the application will be forwarded to Amman?

Hi Sally! I believe that's already the confirmation that your app will be moved to amman. But take a look on your ecas if it change to application received on your PA side that means amman received it. BTW here is our updated process

ok noted, thank you! It’s good to see that it wasn’t too long before you got medical request after the application was received in Amman. I have been reading several applicants dealing with Amman VO and most of it has been pretty negative in terms of how slow they are. I hope they start picking up the pace

Yes I hope too! I also know someone just got medical about 3 weeks ago and we most likely have close timeline. Hope they work faster as we already waited longer for the AOR!

I received my AoR last week. You think they will send my file to Amman ? What are the reasons for being in Amman ?

Short story. I sent my file from Iraq (I'm not Iraqi, I'm a French citizen). I left Iraq definitely. I'm living in Canada since one year. My file is still in Sydney. I really don't want to see my file in Amman.

Can you explain more? What do you mean you sent your file from Iraq, yet you’re living in Canada? So you’re the sponsor I presume? If so, where does the principal applicant live?

I'm the principal applicant and I used to work and live in Iraq with my Canadian spouse (both of us were living in Iraq). We sent the application from Iraq, last year, because my wife, as a Canadian spouse, is able to sponsor me from outside. Few weeks later, after we sent the application from Iraq, we left definitively Iraq to come and establish in Canada. I had no problem of coming here, because as a French citizen I don't need a visa.

So technically I'm not living anymore in Iraq (we sold everything), I'm living in Canada, as an outland (yes, that sounds weird).

ohh ok I see! Well, to my knowledge, there’s a visa office in Erbil I believe, but I have seen several applicants from Iraq whose application was transferred to Amman. However, there’s still a possibility that they will send it to a different Visa Office simply because of the whole Covid situation. So for example, if the Amman VO is at its full capacity, they’ll send it to a different VO. I was actually praying that they would send my application to China since they’re processing quickly, but of course they’re forwarding it to Amman‍
All I can is PRAY they send it to China!

I believe your application will be sent to where is your country of origin but right now its random but normally that's how it is with some people.

They can send to any VO and might do. But usually the connection - if there's a geographic one - is birth, long residence (like from childhood), citizenship, nationality. Obviously there's more being sent to different places I guess for load management so some that are clearly not a geographic connection.

So wild guess really but I kind of doubt Amman. They might just keep it in Ottawa or something.

And philippines as well they processed quite fast saw feb 2021 applicant got copr last may lol! I wish amman works faster! Their visa processing is terrible too 1-3mos!

Sorry I don’t mean to scare you. It’s just that I’m in several groups on Facebook and there’s WhatsApp group of 4 people only for Amman VO. Honestly, there aren’t many people dealing with Amman VO from what I see on social media, but the ones that are there all seem to be stuck and just waiting endlessly.. so that has been worrying me and I’m constantly trying to look for places where I can connect with people dealing with Amman VO who’ve been having a positive experience or something.. I honestly can’t tell how bad the VO is here, but I’m hoping that things pick up for them

 

[mauie13]

I have been reading threads here and comparing timelines and once application have been forwarded to amman it takes about 4-6mos depends how complicated the application is..as some takes longer than that but when i ask some people who had been waiting for long frequently they say that they missed some documents or informations to the application which make sense why it's taking longer. ‍
