CIC - New Delhi asked for my birth certificate copy.

still little bit confused - Below is exact sentence used in letter

Original Version of your Sponsor's Birth certificate (Gujarati version) and copies of all pages of his old (Indian) passport.

In my case, when i submitted additional documents that time i sent translated (English version) of my and my wife's birth Certificate, so above statement means do i have to send photo copy of our native language birth cetificate or I have to send original hard copy of our Birth certificates?

your reply would be much apericiated.

Hi All,

I finally have an update on my file: :)

I received a letter dated April 20, 2012 today morning stating that they received my application on Feb 07, 2012 and it is complete. They also provided a file # and that my file is now in the processing queue.

PAri4U, GAGANDHILLON, LUCK786, RAATRI, SPONS, you all should receive something soon.
Did u pr application status change in e -cas
 
woohhooo Simrank way to go, we are getting close good luck to all of us hope fully we get the news soon.
did you recived the email or mail ? simrank
 
if I understood it correctly they are asking the original Guajarati version of your birth certificate that means you needs to send the true copy of your and your wife birth certificate which is in Gujrati, as I see that you only send them the notarized English translation only you didn’t submitted the original Guajarati birth certificate copy with it. you should have done that.
I am from Gujarat too and when we submitted our documents we sent both the notarize translated copy and plus the true copy of the original Guajarati birth certificate.


can i ask if you do have dependent in your file too ?

Hello Guys,
needs urgent adviced from experts please.
My parents received letter for requesting additional following documents by local visa office New Delhi.
...

Hi Rick2007: did the Local office send you or your parents any AOR letter or email before you received that additional letter from them? If yes, how long did it took since the transfer to receive the first communication from LVO?

By the way, your status in the tracking table is that you were transferred to Ottawa - did they move you to ND later or is it just incorrect information in the table?

Thanks Pari4u! ;)

I received mail not email.

I pray you all receive replies soon.
 
rick you can send the original copy also no harm in it that way you are safe both side :)
 
Congrats Simran.

I just called CIC and, even though i submitted "Representative Form" with the documents, I was not added as a rep for my mom by Mississauga. Call centre agent said it happens often and i need to fax the form to Mississauga again :o IT will take them a few days to update and then call centre can check the status of PR file for me.
I asked him if this happens often, he said: "Too often" >:(
 
Congratulations Simran and best of luck with the rest of the process. I submitted my application at about the same time as yours. We all look forward to hearing good news. Has your online status changed?

great news SimranK! I received same letter too :)

Thanks SnSpring, PAri4u, sibnadian and Spons!

I have one more update: I just called CIC and the agent was so helpful. She informed me that they have mailed another letter to me on April 30, 2012 stating that I have been approved as a sponsor and that my file has been forwarded to the local visa office (Nairobi). Waiting for the letter now. I am not sure what the processing time is in Nairobi but I also submitted the PCC for my parents together with the application in Feb 2012. So I guess what's remaining is medicals and payment of fees.

gaggidhillon and Spons, no e-cas status change for me though.
 
wow double joy for u today :) way to go hope our local moves fast too :) and our parents get visa by this year .

Ok, received a letter in the mail today dated April 13th, 2012 stating that they received my application on Jan27, 2012 and it is complete. They also provided a file # and that my file is now in the processing queue.

On E-Cas, the status had already changed to "DECISION MADE" on April 27th. So waiting for the "DECISION MADE" letter now. :)
