Proactively mailing Singapore office

[Randomname]

Hi friends,

I applied to sponsor my wife who is a Bangladeshi and on the 21st of Jan our status changed to 'in process' on the cic website. From what I have read the next stage is usually wait for a request to resend/redo the police clearance and the medical, after which the passport request is sent.

I am wondering if any one has been proactive with the Singapore office in terms of sending the police clearance and medical? I am thinking about mailing them to ask if I should resend them thereby saving a month of waiting.

Thanks

Can you please share with us your timeline, i.e., when you first send your Application to Mississauga? When did you get your AOR etc.?

Of course, I'm not sure what the exact terminology stands for in your profile but here is a rough timeline

They recieved the application in mississauga on 24/05/2012
I was approved as a sponsor on 7/23/12 at which point they sent the file on to Singapore
On the 21st of Jan the status on the cic website changed to in process.

My wife completed her medical tests in March 2012 along with the police clearance.

Hope this helps

Thanks. It seems your wife's application is progressing nicely. Since your wife's medical expires in March, it is possible that you may receive communication from Singapore Visa Office soon. I am not sure if you can send Medical report & Police report again proactively. They may not need them if they contact you soon. They usually only ask Medical. I had asked similar question in this forum before and got replies that I should wait for the Visa Office to contact me.

You said that when you checked online, it showed 'in process'. Did you or your wife receive any e-mail prior to this status change?

No we did not receive an email prior to the status change. Now it just says something along the lines of ' Your application is in process as of January 21st 2013' (I can't seem to log in right now for some reason). Is the fact that I did not get an email prior to the status change a cause for concern?

I don't think you have to worry about anything. Your application has moved up nicely compared to other BD applications. I just asked if you received any e-mail just to know. They don't usually send any communication till they need a document from you.

I agree. Who knows, if you're lucky and they give you your PR in, say, February, you won't need to re-do medicals at all because they wont be expired. And even if they do expire, the office has the ability to ask for an extension of your medical records so that you do not have to re-send them. You can email them and ask if you should redo them (although I'd wait until February to do this, if you have not heard from them) before they expire, but I suspect they will either ignore you or say not to re-do them and they will extend them.

Good luck and congrats on the fast processing.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I'll give it another month before I follow up. Best of luck to everyone!
