Dear Anil04_10
I didn't notice that 12 dec. was sunday, but another NOC 2151 The brother from singapore applied 01 Dec. also reported his BD encashed on 12 th of Dec. ??? that intiated many questions, are both of our Banks telling false statements to us specialy if encashing the fees is the only way to have a hint about our status??

I took my BD/DD from HSBC. When I asked for the confirmation of en-cashment of my DD, they provided me a paper on next day which mentioned that the demand draft is already been reconciled on 12 December 2010. I can't remember whether the time is mentioned or not but I will check it soon. Now the question is how they en-cashed it on Sunday? However, since they gave me written docs it should be authentic.

Hey bro

...... the bankers might have received the payment confirmation message on Sunday, which might have been sent on a previous working day. With time you will see that the BD must have been charged anywhere between 6 to 10 Dec...... Till that time have to wait and see :o :P :o

Cheers, Anil

You are right and smart Dear Anil
The bank here first day of the week is sunday , so i think you are right
Well i think that's why all will need some experts to guide ;) ;)

By the way about the experts , if i have a negative feedback about any attorney or immigration consultant is it useful to share?? ??? ::)

I never said / meant that your banker is giving a false statement.

Dear Anil I got the confirmation doc emailed from HSBC-India which is forwarded to me. And they mentioned it is encashed on sunday 12. Is Sunday a working day in India?

Thank you for singling me out queencougar, its my given right to ask queries about my application, it is almost 110 days since I have submitted mine and I know they have encashed my check. I have mentioned before that I am restraining myself from sending a letter since most of the applicants that time are receiving their PERS are the july and August. Now its our month september and one like in wakawakas case who submitted his later than mine, of course I would be thinking, what is happening to my application. I remember one member emailed CIO and a day after he received his per. I dont think it is wrong to ask specially if your application was received about 3 months ago.

CIO is not that jurassic who would stop working coz somebody asked about his application. If there will be implications on my inquiries it will be mine and not anybody's application will be jeopardized. I am just excericising my right. Besides, the 33 weeks thing has been there even before physiocraze received his PER.
Read my post properly, carl128!
It clearly says right at the start that I am most certainly not picking on you as an individual.
It is wrong to take offence when I have gone out of my way to state that you are not the direct object of my comment.
Others esteemed members of this forum agreed with my statements, so don't get on your high horse and imagine insult where there was obviously none.
In addition, even if you app was received 3 months ago, that is still not long enough for you to have received a response and the progress on the spreadsheet clearly indicates this, so why you think this is long enough to wait before querying defeats me.
What is the point of the information on this spreadsheet if you just ignore it and pester CIO anyway?

Well dear Anil,
I have an experience with ***** , they were not up to date, I know the info by myself before they decide to contact me, when calling , the branch manager says I was just about to inform you :o
Purposly he told me "3 months ago" that the cap for The architect 2151 is almost closed, I don't have time to improve the IELTS , Let us go for ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT or PNP which will cost me triple the fees for him , when I got to know how to find out the no of received applications, I found he is telling me lies I decided to DO IT MY SELF , and here I'm -- with your help I think I'm doing better

What I really want to say that Relocation and immigration is very important step, we cann't put all our hope into one person, you have to do your home work and not put all the eggs in one basket 8)

carl128, dude, come on. Queencougar even started her post with the exact words "Not picking you out especially" so how can you say she was singling you out? She used your post as an example, but her message was to everyone, to only contact CIO once you have genuine cause to.

You have a right to contact CIO, of course you do, but she has a right to disagree with people that do it unnecessarily.

Imagine what would happen if all 400,000 applicants at CIO including the backlog all contacted CIO periodically to get updates. It would be pandemonium. It is far more accurate to assess timelines from shared information such as our spreadsheet than it is to contact CIO to be told "33 weeks" "your application is currently under review", which is all people ever get told anyway.


The majority of people around your received date have not yet received a PER.

IMO the time to contact CIO would be if you are in the position of made711, robin_1986, midoo and zint etc when the time for receiving PER has passed several weeks and still nothing has been forthcoming from CIO. Or in cases like Katy's where there have been big delivery problems.

Other than that, you will learn far more by following the spreadsheet than you will contacting CIO in my opinion.

I sympathise because I feel CIO's communication could be a lot better. They could send an email when your application is received, and another when you pass the completeness check, and it would put applicants' minds a lot more at ease. But we have to work with the system as it is.

Anyway, I wish you luck and hope you get your PER very soon, but please stop being so defensive - we are here to help each other! :)

Thanks,
Wayne.

Hey Bro .....
Wanted to send you a PM. Seems your inbox has given up with 'Congrats' messages ;D ;D
One small information that I would like to know. You have mentioned the date of BD encashment..... Please check the same in the PER ....... I AM SURE IT WILL BE DIFFERENT - It has to be around 16th Sept..... please confirm...
Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Anil

Our bank told us BD was cashed 15th September, and CIO in our PER said that they had cashed it 10th September. My conclusion - 10th September was when CIO took the draft to their bank, 15th September was when it cleared at my bank.

Nope... it's not a working day in India. As I told, the money has to be electronically transferred (here it got debited from HSBC-India)... so might have been on Sunday. But CIO must have presented the instrument few days back, on a working day...

I sympathise with your situation, architect_100.

Thankfully I have never paid a single penny to an immigration lawywer or consultant, but the experiences I have had at various immigration fairs and conventions have not been good at all. Often I have known more about the process than the consultants talking to us, many of them dodged questions they clearly did not know the answer to. One consultant doing a talk had not even heard of an eligibility review.

My conclusion is that the majority get a few certifications in immigration law and then dedicate the rest of their careers to tailoring how they can extract the most money out of the clients.

One idiot lawyer at a convention said that they did not encourage FSW1 because he described it as a "lottery - over 200,000 applications were received last year and only 20,000 will get visas this year, so only 10% of people who apply will get them. We don't sell lottery tickets". What an idiot. He implied it was completely luck of the draw, when in fact the first 20,000 complete eligible applications will be sent to visa office for processing. After that the doors will be closed and they will not accept FSW1 applications until 1st July 2011.

What we then discovered was that this lawyer also owned an recruitment agency, and he was pushing for people to go down the FSW2 route because then he would get money for getting the visa AND money for getting you a job.

FSW1, if you are able to get it, is always better than FSW2, because you are not tied to a company, and you don't have to worry about losing your job or your work permit running out in the middle of your visa application.

Anyway, unless your case is very complex, my advice to anyone would be NOT to employ a consultant. There is nothing you cannot find out by reviewing the information on the CIC website and then finding out the answers to any queries on forums such as this. You don't need to pay a consultant thousands of dollars to be a middle man and forward a few forms to CIC.

Thanks, Wayne. Nothing I post is ever aimed at criticising anyone personally and I made that clear.
We are all in a queue here and we all need to wait patiently unless we have a serious issue like katy.
The tracker is very helpful in indicating when processing has reached your date, but even then not everyone's news come through at the same time.
I respect everyone who waits patiently with a positive attitude and I try to be like them, even though unlike most people here I am forced to be apart from my husband while we wait for this process. He went to his job in Canada in August and until PR is finished we have to live thousands of miles apart after 17 years of happy marriage, so if anyone has reason to be impatient, I reckon that it is us!
By the way, it is my birthday today and I have only two days more with my husband before he must return to Canada, so I hope with all my heart to hear that PER has been approved for us before he must leave.
Good luck also to Rina and wenstumped for a birthday bonus!

Hi - I am sorry to hear your application was returned. But if your application was received 23rd June this means you were applying under the old 38-list rules?
