haha.... No Probs buddy :P

Well yah I fear abt this 'my presence required' thing a little.... but looks like many people took this route succesfully.....

And read many places that with a letter of authorization someone on one's behalf CAN carry a Passport across borders...

Hoping for the best....

Yeah a well written letter of authorization is a good way to go - but for some reason I feel that if I was in your shoes, I'd personally go and take care of it myself. Also, keep in mind that other people may have been able to complete this route successfully but each case is different so it's not wise to assume the outcome to remain the same...

Again, I am not fully aware of all the circumstances surrounding your position but is this job (that you will eventually quit anyways) really worth risking any potential delays in the processing of your application and being united with your SO. - Anyways I'm sure you've given this proper thought and then made your decision... :)

Yeah I too hope for the best for you... just keep an eye on things so that there are no unexpected surprises... and when in doubt, just read my well thought out userID (lol)
 
Thanks to all.i pray u guys will get visa soon.
Funny thing in my case i never got any email,
Mail nd call frm ndvo till i got dm.ppr was in gcms
 
Hey guys,

I have a question. I am wondering if I can still send in some proof of maintenance of contact with my spouse as I did not attach it last time. The only reason that I did not do this was because the chat logs are about 200 pages in just 4 months from Feb - April. However, I did sent my marriage pictures and a few emails that we exchanged and call logs...

I did not know that my wife was going to be recommended for interview as I found out last month from my GCMS notes. But now this wait is getting really painful and I have no idea when my wife will be called for the interview.

I am thinking of doing a cover letter and including this bundle of 200 pages and mailing it to CIC - New Delhi (I will get my wife to post mail it). Is this a good idea? Or should I just shut up and wait and present this evidence when my wife is called for an interview.

As you all may know or not, I did not have any time spent with wife after marriage nor did I go for a honeymoon. I am going next weekend for 3 weeks to visit my wife and we will have a reception (which we did not have last year ) and I am planning for the honeymoon as well. Not only so that we can show this as evidence in the interview but also for our relationship as well.

Let me know what you guys think...

I think you might talk to your lawyer as well and have him issue a notarized letter....as carrying someone else passport can be considered as human trafficking

I would say just wait and watch and if they need additional documents or something then send it.....sending docs more of them might increase the time

I don't know if it can help for those who will have interviews, but I found theses informations on interview procedures last day on the cic website, in the guides section : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/interview/applicant/conduct.asp


- Remember the principles of procedural fairness
Give the applicant reasonable opportunity to:

respond to the decision
clarify facts
provide new information or
question the officer's interpretation of the facts

wish the visa officer who interviewed a candidate in this forum had read these instructions (if you check many pages ago there were discussions about that case). Candidate was treated badly and visa officer threw supporting documents on the floor and the husband/wife (don't remember) a Canadian citizen was not allowed to sit with the candidate. Their visa was denied. While most visa officers are courteous and respectful, some of them are of the view that they rule the world. In the interview room facing the visa officer is nerve wrecking but if VO behaves badly it makes the candidate feeling less-worthy

everyone is a suspect in some visa officer's mind especially if one comes from certain parts of India; age difference, different religion or any other red flags...even in worse case the find a blatantly cheating application, the applicant still should be given respect and consideration...to begin with they can quickly schedule an interview and not make applicants wait for a year for an interview

I live in boston and my siblings live in Hyd AP...

luckily I found a friend who is travelling to India and thinking of sending PP.
My family there will take care of th rest...
Hoping that I am not needed for that stamping thing...

Also I have few questions regarding mailing it to Delhi (from within India)

Can we use any courier service or is it better to send thru Speed Post only?
Should we include the return mail stamped envelope in that package too(my lawyer says so for our own tracking purposes) or will emabssy send it on their own(but I guess we wont have any tracking then)?
For package return should it be addressed on my name ONLY or my family person's name is okay... coz while delivering they might ask for me right?

use blue dart it is safe and has tracking system
no need for return post, high commission use their own envelope and send it via indian postal service
mail will be addressed to candidate's name and has to sign/show ID proof when accepting it (unless your mailman knows you very well)
 
Myrah were ru ? Pls reply? These posts :P :P

Call Centre telephone number: 1-888-242‑2100
so I called this morning cic-m and they told me to keep checking your status till jan 26 and if I don't hear anything by that date to call them, they were saying that they are checking my background ect and it takes up to 90 days , should I be worrying that they are taking so long? like I said my application was received nov 4th 2013 at cic-m and my case was last updated nov 7th 2013 :(

There is a two year condition now to the permanent residency, so why are they so difficult?... I hope some of the officers have humanity and will respect the guidelines that are supposed to be followed in interviews... I pray that I will not get an interview... and I give all support for thoses who are in that situation...
