FSW 2014 SINGAPORE VISA OFFICE - LET'S CONNECT HERE

[jeanp]

I do not see anything in my inbox. Anyway, she was refused as the SGVO considered her reference letters fake. As the style of writting and responsibilities across all the organs were almost similar, that's why they refused..

Can you please elaborate further what you meant by saying the writing style is similar? You mean her employment letter looks like that of another applicant?

i submit my medical result on 15 may, received ppr on 02 jun, submit passport 13 Jun

Congratulations, buddy. There was a big time gap between AOR and MR but after that it moved very fast. It is the nature of FSW3, you reckon?

Congratulations!!

My file reached CIO 19 days later than yours. Our timeline is similar until AOR and both of our files were transferred to Manila VO. However, you are now at last stage but Mine is likely stuck, no movement... Is it due to the difference in our NOC? Working pattern of either SGVO or Manila VO is unpredictable

Coincidentally, your AOR was also 19 days after his. The delay after that is probably due to NOC or FSW3 vs. FSW1. :-D

Thanks. Frankly I just want it processed smoothly and within a reasonable time frame. No need to be fast and furious. ;D

Dear Mates,

For the lack of a better way thank you all for the well wishes and consolation messages. I am positively considering your suggestion and haven't lost my hope at all. Nonetheless, being an almost 10 years veteran in my field the 5 years ban is just extremely demoralising. Please do not criticise Bhaskar & Shafiq guy they really cannot do any harm and as far as sanction/unsanctioned terms go please do not just believe any of your immigration advisor & agency puppets; Get it verified first hand.

Now for my rejection letter and subsequent ban for 5 years; footer link of this note has PDF copy of the original letter sent to me. Check the highlighted section in the 3rd page. In 2nd last paragraph you will see the SAA issues mentioned by Sin, VO. In the last paragraph you will see the reason for 5 year's ban. I must mention that, our company (say Company A) is already bought by our principle company "DB Schenker" is APR 2014. All internal papers were changed from company 'A' to Schenker except Government registration. Company registration was not done due to legal issues (some problem with Trades & Commission Act clause with 100% foreign ownership) and was rescheduled for Jul-Aug '14 and final launch on 1st SEP '14. While I was applying in May '14 I knew that final verification would start in/after Sep '14 and submitted my experience letter (remember, these were not forged at all as all company internal papers were already in Schenker's name from 1st July 2014). My utter misfortune was this; legal battle did not resolve into a concrete court decision and Company registration as of yet could not be changed to Schenker & was rescheduled for Sep '15. I am sure when the verification process started this is exactly where the investigation Officer labeled me as 'Fraud'. But though the company name was wrong it cannot be denied that I possess all skills as mentioned in my resume, it was my bad luck that the company registered name as of effective date is still unchanged to reflect my authenticity.
Lads & ladies, this is neither my intention to blame anyone nor have I lost hope in further necessary proceeding. This post is intended to help very few skilled but exceptionally unlucky people like me out there and also to let the awareness rise. Don't take your immigration adviser's words for granted, do your homework and verify, they'll start by giving you all hopes and then fall short gradually, will exploit you to pay them extra for some immigration magic up their sleeves (that they do not possess) and in the end will do nothing more than filling up the forms correctly and charge you a fortune for that. So be aware & take your best shot.

Last but not the least if any of you know a good immigration lawyer capable of handling the situation do drop a line or two to help me for the time being that is most useful to me. Thanks again & best of luck to you all...

CANADA WAITING PERIOD FOR WORK PERMIT APPLICATIONS UNDER FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM AROUND THE WORLD CONSULATES OF CANADA AS IN INDIA NEW DELHI LAST APPLICATION PROCESSED UP TO 17TH SEPTEMBER 2014 MEANS WAITING PERIOD OF 8 MONTHS AND HALF MONTH

Different Local Visa Offices(LVO) are working on FSW2014 files these days along with other application categories like PNP and EE but actually except EE program that is in higher priority than FSW2014 & PNP, they are working base on application receive date and we can assume for PNP applications waiting time would be same to FSW2014.

Below information is showing us, the latest visa issued for FSW2014 applicants in May & June 2015 and it means all applications received by CIO after the date mentioned below are still pending in a line and didn't receive their visas in that visa office.

Vienna 8/11/2014 8 months, 24 days
Warsaw 10/22/2014 7 months, 19 days

For Amman, Beirut, Moscow, New York, Rome & Sydney visa offices there isn't any information available.

You can calculate your visa issuance date with adding above waiting months to the date your application received by CIO.

In late 2014, because of the volume of applications received by CIO it caused a 2 months delay in the CIO level and those who submitted their applications and received by CIO in November 2014 till February 2015 can expect their applications face that 2 months delay and they should add extra 2months to their final waiting time calculation!

Those times seems to be reduced in the future then you can assume your visa issue date could be 1 to 2 months less than your calculation result for applications received by CIO after March 2015!

Using the last sample to predict the trend is not a usual statistical approach as opposed to taking the mid point or average over a larger base of samples. However, I really like it from a qualitative and chronological perspective. If the latest applicant were just lucky to have the visa in a short time, I wouldn't bother. But the fact is all the latest applications show a shorter timeline. This should give us a confidence that VO's around the world is expediting their process. Very good observation indeed, buddy.
