[Chinnmaye]

Hey visa_help2014:

the current processing time is 12months but it could be earlier if the case is straightforward and depends on luck too. When did you apply? Wish you a speedy visa.

Hello Guys,

Just to know how long it currently takes for a PR spousal visa right now.
Please update.

Thanks,

any reason for pankaj08 not able to pass his/her interview?

I am not sure of the details. He hasn't come online since his interview.
He just said that the interviewer (named Khurana) was really rude and told him to get out after throwing his passport into his face.

I didn't mention this before because I didn't want to scare everyone who were also having an interview around the same time/week in case they got really nervous and it affected their interview.

Hi Guys,

I have a question: Me and my wife sent NDVO many mails in regards to my wife's Status and never heard anything from them. Recently, our MP office inquired twice about my wife's file and our MP office informed us that everything is completed now and it's matter of time and she can get Visa any time now. She told us since we applied in 2012 and your file was approved before 2013 which means in 2012 we still come under 10 months of processing time period not 12 months. But, its already been over 11 months.

But, my question I sponsored my wife in November 2012. Just wondering if everything is completed and it's matter of time before she can get Visa anytime how much long do we have to wait... Did anyone went thru this process.

Also, me and my wife sent them mail last week regarding the status. How long before they reply to our mail or is there any special line I have to write it under the Subject line before sending them a mail so that they will check..

Thanks, if anyone can response to this will be great... Thanks in advance guys.

Wow, what a long waiting period for the both of you. Great news that it is almost coming to an end, hopefully sooner.
NDVO very rarely replies to emails or case specific inquiries. There was only one other member on here whose MP said that they were going to get the visa soon, sometime in this month but mostly the MPs haven't been of help in telling us exactly when we will get our visas.

Good luck with the last few steps of your application.

Today I got reply from mp office after a one n half month...and she state tht my file is in initial review n queued for interview and is currently awaiting its turn for interview....I m tense now...

 

[Desi-girl]

First of all Congrats to all the members who got IPs and DMs.
And good luck to members waiting.

And I've got my Canadian 'G' Driving License.

I exchanged my USA's DL(2 1/2 yrs of driving history) with a Canadian one.

Feeling good that I skipped all the written tests and road tests else its a 3 stage(G1--> G2--> G) and time taking process to get a full license here.

That's great! Congrats. Was it easy to do that? How long did it take? Do you think we can change India's driving licence to a Canadian one the same way?

Hi Everyone!

My husband received the letter below today. I have provided both, should I even bother to reply back??

the letter says:

Visa Office......: Islamabad transferred to New Delhi on 28-01-2014
App. Filed.......: 24-09-2013
AOR Received.: 26-09-2013
File Transfer...: 10-10-2013 to Islamabad
Med's Done....: Done

Its a generic response to anyone whose file gets transferred to New Delhi. Can I ask how your file got transferred to New Delhi from Islamadbad?
Anyways, there is no harm in sending photocopies of the documents they are requesting with a letter stating that attached are the copies as you had submitted the originals along with the application. Its better to be on the safe side, in case the original documents have been misplaced in the transfer. Good luck

Guys n gals, I just want tell you that when I first filed the application package ( the wait time for sponsor approval was 8 weeks) I was sooo anxious and counting the days down until it would be forwarded to NDVO . Checked the e-cas every day sometimes 5 times a day the day after the 8 weeks with no news and no e-cas existence , I called CIC (4 hour ordeal) only to hear that they had NO record of the application being in the system ?! ( I sent it in by UPS) deeply saddened the next day I recieved the ENTIRE application back !!!!! FML - apparently ONE form was left out by mistake , so an ENTIRE 2 months was lost !!!!! Added the missing document and sent again same day ! Now our count down began again ! An entire 60 days of my life GONE!

Second tragedy - 5 months after applying I realized that our marriage was NOT preformed under special marriage act (SMA) for Christian other religion , marrying someone who is Hindu in India. ( just after our engagement we paid a lawyer to initiate this Act at courthouse, so our marriage would be legally binding) so we freaked out and re-applied, then again had to travel to India for a re-marriage at courthouse, we panicked because we read about a situation like this and they got rejected. Then mailed the new marriage document off to ND CHC with an explanation .

Despite the bumps and signs that this was NEVER EVER EVER going to be over , and through a successful interview , I'm happy to say e-cas says DM And no delays !!!!!

People EVEN when *censored word* starts to get in your way - stay strong and NEVER give up - it's just time that will sort everything out , so stay busy , focus on today and don't let this waiting game eat ur brain apart ! It's not worth it cuz when ur e-cas finally says DM , you will be looking for your brain again and may not find all the pieces . So just be patient and have faith

This note should be read by all especially who have applied recent and not gone into IP. I appreciate your action of addmission of your errors and speaking in the forum. You would be a nice and grow up familiar in whatever field or place you are in.
What you did is simply a self audit of your actions after a reasonable time. This has shown you the mistakes you made or steps you forgotten or relied person who should have done the work not done and you were in wrong information/ ignorant of the fact. Every one should self audit their own applications vis a vis proofs they sent and send additional documents as necessary as you have done.
Due to heavy rush of applications the chance to touch the file for scrutiny goes up even to 60 days is evident now. Our frustration coupled with hurting words/ looks from so called kith and kin who were jealous on us especially is a night mare and make us to confidence in our own self. Yes you said it correctly we have to keep cool and wait for the success.
Thanks for sharing information. May God bless you with all and you both stay healthy wealthy and happy.
