My Problem: application for proof of citizenship.
I apply for proof of citizenship for my daughter, My daughter born in China on February 17/2012 , we applied for her proof of citizenship on November 23/2012, Three years later, all this time I been asking about my application and they said just check in the web page with your Unique Client Identifier (UCI). How your application is going, but this number never bring any information, a few times the Shanghai consulate said that my application is different and complicate and had to be send to a different department, in Sydney, Canada.
We were together for 4 year when my daughter born, China have rules about bird without government permit, people have to be marry and ask for a bird permit.
In my case we have the baby without the permit, late on we went to applied for her birth certificate, and in that moment the certificate was denied.
The proof of citizenship was fil with the birth record from the hospital authenticated by a public notary and without birth certificate,
After 3 they ask us to had a DNA test to prove that the girl is my daughter, the test became positive, she is my legitimate daughter. That was January 2 today is June 12/2015.
What else do you want?
You said check processing time; there you are.
Total processing time
5 months.
Note: If you live outside Canada and outside the United States and are applying through a Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate, add an additional 3 to 4 months to the total processing time..
If you are applying on behalf of a minor child residing outside Canada and outside the United States and the application is submitted directly to the Case Processing Center in Sydney, Nova Scotia, add an additional 6 to 8 months to the total processing time.
For more information: If it has been longer than the time shown above since you applied, and you live:
• outside Canada and outside the United States, you may contact the office where you submitted your application.
It mean processing time like mine is 16 months, but right now is more than 3 years and 7 months..mean 43 months include the 5 months for the DNA test.
Now what is their decision????????
