APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[just a square]

Too bad hearing that Warsaw seems to be quite slow with April applications, since that's my VO too.
Do you think visa exempt applications get processed quicker?
Also, I'm working on changing my last name to my husband's but I'm a little worried that might delay the process even more...

I have changed my passport since I changed my surname on it and just sent them email and scan of updated passport, not sure that is slowing things down or not though

Still ,logging in on my old surname and still see my makiden name there but they said they attached it to my app

It does take longer for those of us that have loved ones in non visa exempt countries. The difference in time is ludicrous. My wife changed her name and I sent the documents via a case specific enquiry, an email to warsaw and courier to warsaw. They received them on a Monday and her name was changed by the Friday. On our gcms notes they only make reference to the couriered documents. Despite numerous CSE and a request for acknowledgement of the docs from warsaw I have never received anything but an automated response. So I think given the horrible communication process we have no choice but to follow the three steps I outlined and hope one works.

I received my CoPR in the mail yesterday although it was dated 10 August. My partner and I wanted to get it done and off our minds so we flagpoled at the border and I landed yesterday evening. It didn't take long at all - 35 minutes from the time we spoke to the officer in our car to doing the landing paperwork inside.

Best wishes to everyone for a speedy process and you're reunited with your loved ones very soon.

Thanks for your answers, it was really helpful. I was wondering whether sending CSE would be enough, now I see that it wouldn't.
By saying 'her name was changed', what do you refer to? Ecas, GCMS notes, or everything?

Just got our second set of gcms notes. We applied in April and they have done nothing except the name changes since July 26. Unbelievably frustrating

Just so sad. I guess we are in for a long and painful wait.

Someone just replied on the warsaw thread that they had the same thing may 13 and then got dm on the 20th. Encouraging but the rollercoaster of emotions continues.

Congrats to all who have received COPR or who have already united with their family. Ottawa, seems to keep it consistent, 3-4 months mostly. Fastest!

Is there anyone from Nairobi? I wonder what the pace is with processing PR. The 2016 Nairobi forum is not active. So pls update/ share your status here ;D

Thanks a lot

Come and join us in the Dar Salam thread. It's pretty much the same VO but in different locations. I'm sponsoring my wife from Somaliland and I had put Nairobi as our VO. But i found out after my SA, her file was transferred to Dar Salam. No clue why... Apparently Nairobi VO is busy and they are sending the overflow to Dar Salam VO. The good news for us the DAR applicants is that our VO doesn't have many applications, and the good news for you the NAI applicants is that NAI is getting rid of the overflow by sending them to our VO in DAR. So hopefully our applications will be processed faster.


You should have some good news soon! I wish you all the best with your application!
