[YAAZ]

Did anyone apply on the 18th Jan and got approved? for a visitor visa

Hello,

I applied for visitor visa through the portal for my parents, but received application summary and biometrics request only for my mother (main applicant). Can anyone tell with their experience.
Are we going to receive another letter for my father or 1 letter is for both as I put my mother as the main applicant?

letters come individually for each applicant
so u should wait for a day or two
it should arrive separately

My in-laws applied for visit visa yesterday. But on one of the applications, the marriage date is incorrect. Is there anything we can do about it?

Hi Guys,

I got PPR for my mother's super visa, Applied on 19th Dec 2022 and got approved on 25th Jan

My question is, Can I go India and accompany her back to Canada ? As her purpose of visit mentioned was to meet son(me) after a while.

Is this possible ? Will not be a concern at port of entry ?

Thanks

Brother,

At the port of Entry, if they asked to your mother, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE OF VISIT, then what would she reply.

Be remember, Visa is kind of ticket to Port of Entry not the PERMISSION to enter.

The officer at immigration counter is SOLE responsible for finalizing, and if he doubt that Application have any mislead / misguided information, that wont impact good.

It's better for long run that Mother should come alone if it is FIRST TOUR after visa.

Be sure, you mention in application "to meet my son" or "to spend time with my son", wordings also matters in Explaining.

My inlaws have property and land in india. What kind of documents should i attach to prove assets like this?
Also, if they mention it in a letter and attach their son’s bank statement as he will be responsible for their expenses. Does that work?

Does anyone know any kind of tricks to predict the appointment for biometrics in VFS ?
As you all know the booking is based on webform and first come first serve basis. They don't allow walkins.
This is extremely inconvenient for people staying far away from the designated centers.
The closest I have is Kolkata.

Any inputs ?
(I tried calling call center, vfs chat options but there is no such prediction system which is but obvious)

Just take a chance of filling the web form people have gotten appointment email in 30 mins with appointment date within the next 4-5 days.

Applied on Jan 13. No response yet, getting kind of worried now since most people who applied in Jan already got PPR

there have been multiple cases with quick rejections

so no longer timeline does not necessarily mean rejections

turnaround time is actually very unpredictable I would say

some people getting decisions in days and some are waiting for months

I don't know what's the logic behind all this delay

I applied from Karachi, Pakistan. Do you have any idea how long is it taking for visitor visa from Pakistan to get processed? For India turnaround it only a couple of weeks now

I applied from Karachi too for my parents
waiting since November 2022
no response as yet

I have seen on this forum that processing time from pakistan is anywhere between 4-6 months or longer

yes turnaround time from India in most cases is just weeks however on the website the processing time from India is 130 days

Good luck to you
