Hi PMM, could you please help me with understanding the following CAIPS note?

Paper file sent to: PEB File BF'D to: PS on 11-07-2010

I understand that PEB is the initial of the visa officer. What does the PS means? Is it Paper Screen or Paper Store?

My spouse's medical is valid till 13-07-2010. If they Paper Screen the file on July 11 it will be too late to issue her visa. She has to do her medical again, in worst case scenario. Or could it be that they want the file back to store it after PEB completes the file processing?

Thanks in advance.
 
In our case PS meant - PS: Prescreen.

It looks like they will ask for medicals redone.
 
- Yes I did order the CAIPS note. It also mentioned about the immigration photos we submitted. Those can not be used for COPR. I guess they will ask for new photos when they will request for passport inshallah. I am not worried about that at the moment.

I am just worried about the bring forward date to PS, why it is saying 11-07-2010. That is a long way to go.

Any update from your side?

The Bring Forward date is just a reminder. Every time something new arrives on the file, the file is supposed to be brought out to the officer. The BF date is to ensure that if something arrives for the file and the file is not brought out at that time, the file will not be forgotten.

- For example, when background check is completed and reported to the file then it will be brought to the visa officer? Even though it is done before the BF date?
-Or they will keep updating the file with all necessary processing. Then bring the file to the visa officer on that BF date?
- Do you think there is a possibility that the case can be completed before the mentioned BF date?

Thanks in advance.

As I said, if something arrives on file it is brought out. In your question, when the results of the background security checks are received, the file is brought out, they don't wait. They want to clear out the files as quick as possible.

Thanks. That makes sense.

In addition, are record check (R/C) and Criminality check (background check) same? I can see from my CAIPS they have already done the R/C. But the criminality check is not done yet.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Habib
Is there anything else that shows on ecas other than the processing date and medicals received?
Thanks

- As I mentioned above to Shawon, it also says that the photos (immigration photos) were not up to standard for COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence). The cause is we wrote information at the back of those photos.

- Yes, the processing date and medical assessment date were also mentioned on CAIPS.

Other important information I retrieved that they had done a general record check of my previous history. Like my previous student visa application file in Dhaka, and renewal of visa at Seattle etc. They also searched information for my spouse but they could not find anything in the immigration database as she is totally new applicant.

- Criminality check is not done yet, it is blank.

- They also used 0 in other decision fields because the CAIPS were order at a early stage no decision were made.

Thanks.
 
You are correct about the photos: when you get your passport request they will also include instructions for more photos.

By the time you are a PR you will have been on more photos than most models... :D
