Hi guys
We sent our application in Dec but no updates since Feb:(
Do you know which month they’re working now
Hey azin
I think they're working on October and months before. I know a couple of people submitted late October got pre arrival 2 weeks ago. I submitted my application on Nov 1st and nothing since December 2019. On the ecas it shows application received which means that they have not started working on mine so don't worry we're all in the same boat

Apparently we should add another 4 or 5 months to the 12 months waiting period, especially if PA is from Iran. Just few weeks ago a group of iranians (may/june/july 2019 applicants) got their passports back with the final visa from Ankara. So, count 16 months overall for the PPR to arrive IF ONLY they dont shut down again. Theres also the new year holidays but lets at least hope theres less number of backlogged applications ahead of us.

Among those people there were many Aug sep and oct applicants as well. All from Iran. I don't know what happened but that time many got their final approval I know at least 10 applicants. Hopefully some happens to us. But I'm worried that the second wave would ruin everything again

Please I want help. I have sent my passports and my child to Istanbul application office. They sent me an email with the track ID number, but it came in the name of my child. It did not come with my name. Is this normal?

No, no updates. MP says our file looks good and no issues but there is no updates. VAC is actually open for 3 days now. Our Immigration consultant said it may be due to the fact that we applied for TRV which is approved too... but who knows what is going. We went with PR visa , now i wish we went with TRV if i had known it would be this painful.

I emailed Ankara , they don't even respond anymore. We are really out of options here

Hi guys. I’m September applicant, currently living in Istanbul. I got email from Ankara VO today, they are requesting more documents, about my last study place and university, more police certificate, and asking some questions like why I’m living in Turkey, not in my country and what am I doing for living her, how am I supporting myself. We will figure out and send them what they requested. Anybody in the same situation?

My status is in process, didn’t get any passport request or pre arrival letter. They just requested more information. It’s gonna take another few months I guess
