NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[pondering.in.prairies]

Hello everyone.. first of all its such a releif to see a DM on ECAS. Although I dont have passport in my hand yet so I shouldnt be boasting about anything but thisbis something who feel that the proofs they sent might not be enough...
I had sent only 20pics with my application. But I sent 3 different packages to NDVO on 3 seperate occasions with more phone bills and photos etc. NDVO confirmed receiving of those packets and attaching them to my file in GCMS notes
Anyways thanks everyone for your good luck amd wishes

My 2 cents, although Canadian cents are obsolete,

They only look for things that stand out of the ordinary, not things that look normal - big age gap (no you have to get married to a person who is no more than 5 years or so), previous history (again, no, Indians aren't supposed to get divorced or be estranged, although you can do it once you are in Canada, its a free country), key members of the family not attending the marriage (parents, in-laws etc, this is only because ours care enough to attend it in the first place).

Sending in additional documentation, although isn't bad, but if it isn't compelling or strong, is of no use (for e.g: parents haven't attended the marriage but you have 500 pics and have chat logs for a year would still be read flag and a trigger for a personal interview). While submitting documentation think like Canadians do, small wedding, no parents, even better if you have kids walking you down the aisle ... oh wait ... red flag for NDVO.

On a more serious note, I've had friends who sent in 10 pics and 10 pics only and nothing else and got their visa without an interview.

Hi..

I am a sept 30th applicant, Got a call on from visa office on 19th june and they asked a few questions about our marriage i asked them to watch our wedding video online, the lady called back after watching and informed me "its done" when i asked her if they need anything else and asked me to do my remedial. My Ecas status changed to IP on June 19th. Did my re medicals on 20th june. got a reply from the MP's office for our enquiry yesterday they said background checks are being done. This is so frustrating. I don't understand how they can still be doing background for sept applicants.

I regret being a PR in Canada. I dont know if there is any other country that would separate couples like this. what a horrible process not even letting people know the status of the file.

I think I have a possible theory for this trend of September, October and November applicants files being processed slowly.
1. We do not have enough data for December applicants(only 7 applicants) to get to decisive results
2. 85%+ applicants of 2013 have received IP, DM or PPT

Now my theory is after processing upto August, NDVO realized that they only need to process 40%-50% of the files to meet their 80% target(they always quote timeline for 80% applicants). So most likely they jogged through September - December applicants just to keep the processing time of 80% applicants low. To justify the slow processing of rest of the applicants they gave ADR, interviews or did not touch the file left right and center.

What do you guys think?

I would love to see someone prove this theory wrong as this is not what I would like to see.

If these guys were this brainy and organised to do somethign like this, we wont even see this kind of delays. I dont think they are putting so much thought and process into it.

I think what happened is- sep, oct and nov files were already touched by NDVO officers and so they cannot be assigned to anyone else. The high commissioner of NDVO must have decided to transfer some of the future files (Dec and Jan) to another embassy with less workload and so that is why you see this happening.

Even with this, one can understand that this means good news to Sep oct and nov people because the NDVO officers will now work full steam on these apps and issue PP ASAP without any untoward delay between IP and DM and PP.

Let us all keep praying as collective prayer has lot of strength.

find out if you are slated for interview and prepare well if you have one....otherwise it is just a waiting game since the normal time for processing is about a year...

Dear Senior members,

Please suggest,
how much time should an applicant wait for IP after ADR submission?
Or can there be an interview?

Do they send any confirmation mail after receiving the additional documents?


S Kaur :-\

Just do a MP inquiry they will let u know.

I Came to know from them that they have received my DDOCS but no update till yet.

Unbelievable NDVO.....those cases where IP changes into DM overnight or in two days or in a week....un logon ka back ground check nahin hota hai kya....ya fir background check unhi ke liya rakha hai jinka remedical hua...becoz obviously they are already waiting.....I cant believe this....hats off to those kings of partiallity....people who applied six months after me have already reached canada....nd I am just waiting after remedicals.....and god knows for what.......
