Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

[Mrs.Asag]

Honestly, Mrs Asag, I think thats such a poor excuse on their part. We both know, that beaurocracy is a disease of democratic society, one that has not left Canada untouched. I dont think number of officers should really affect time, like I said, if officials wanted to learn, maybe they should take EU countries in consideration and watch how generally,across the board Germany approves/rejects application within 30 days.

If Germans could, I dont know why Canadians cant. And I am sure as hell you know, theres quite a few people wanting to come to Germany. I am not being a downer, I am just ridiculing the whole process

I guess whats frustrating to me, is that these officials have to realise, the process has to be shortened down, they can't expect people to sit somewhere and wait for 16 months without moving on with their lives.

And its impossible to move on with your life because your significant other is across the world, you cant get a career going because you may be leaving and etc. This is unfair towards people.

No haha, I am not. I bet you feel the same though

Good point, but being optimistic will make the process of waiting a lot less stressful! I am not in your shoes as my husband is here with me in Canada but we are optimistic everyday that he will get the email from Ankara to get his PR status. Yes, we've waited for what seems like eternity but in the end it will be worth it. If i focus on the negative of this stupid process, I will make myself sick and not be able to focus on the daily.

Mrs Asag!!

Have you heard anything on your part....since we should be next, crossing my fingers...have been checking everyday, my obsession starting again )))
Hope we hear good news before my vacation finishes.....

I am hoping everyday that I hear something!!

I know! We are the next ones to say, we got the email!!! It is so exciting!

When are you leaving Turkey? I hope you hear something while you are there! It would be like a good luck trip So exciting to share that experience with your husband!!!!

Here, it is what it is!

If you want to live here get use to it! and the funny part is, they think the are PERFECT and we are some uncivilized people!!!

You have no idea what you will deal when you will be here!!!!!

What I have noticed, is that some visa offices issue PPR within fist 2-3 months of the application being submitted. I mean maybe I am wrong,but I think thats quite double-standarded.(pardon me for that not being a word). Some offices take 7-8 or even 6 in timeline (in actuality 2) or say 22 but take only 3-4.


I mean why the hell should we wait longer or get it done faster than other offices,or why should others have it faster/longer than us?

I am not being selfish,by asking this, I am just trying to understand the imbalance in processing between offices, especially assuming that there is not as many requests for visa etc from our office it STILL TAKES 9-10 months from what I have observed. This is plainly ridiculous, I know its only been couple of month,I know there has been a strike, but I have been separated from my spouse for almost a year now and I am sure you guys can relate. I mean this causes all sorts of moral,physical,mental and economic strain on a couple.

Same process takes 20-30 days to EU while it takes 16 months (I know its not exact,but thats CIC timeline) for Ankara embassy to process our application. Shame really and I have no idea why it is that way .

What in a Gods name are YOU talking about?

 

[Mrs.Asag]

So I guess this is sort of good news ;D

Ankara just requested we need to send them a police clearance (which we have already done so).

In spite of this, this is good because they must be working on our application

So they want both Turkish (which we sent) and Canadian because he lives in Canada.

 

[Mrs.Asag]

Did anyone else get an email from Ankara to send additional documents? If so, how long was it from when you sent the documents until you got a call for an interview/to send in your passport?

Hello everyone,

I have sponsored my wife and our application file was sent to Ankara VO office about three months ago. I have not heard anything from them since then? Would you please let me know on average how long would it take for them to process family sponsorship application. How can I follow up on our case status?

I appreciate your help and feedback.

Good luck to you all

Hi. My application also was sent to Ankara exactly three months ago. Right now you should wait and wait and wait till you receive any letter from Ankara. Your e-status might also change in CIC website from "Application Received" to "In Process". To have a rough estimate of time period you can check out the spreadsheet in following link to see how long it has taken for others at any stage.

Thanks so much Mehrdad I checked the spreadsheet and it doesn't seem like any of the recent files took that long (16 months ) as it mentions on the CIC site which is a great thing!

Hello everyone,

I am wondering why this topic is quiet during the last week. Isn't there any new news on the visas? Has anybody got any update from Ankara in the last week? Are they working on the applications?
