Thead For April 2009 Applicants

[monkeydluffy]

my application has been processing since 9 April 2009.No change.figured i would start this thread to get a feel if others are in the same boat.

Hi,

I am happy you are here. I have been in process since Feb 2009. are you inlander? where are you from and did you receive first stage approval?

 

[monkeydluffy]

yes i am an inlander and i received a letter saying the my girlfriend is eligable to sponsor me and that the PR processing in south africa will now commence.and after recieved a letter that pretoria south africa received it.so just to clarify i am from south africa.

 

[monkeydluffy]

for me today it has been 19 months since the PR processing in South Africa started.i applied using a lawyer which hasn't been very helpful but i e-mailed him today to see what can be done.

 

[irajmirza]

so if your application is processed in africa, you are not inlander, it means that you have applied outland. did you have anything important in your background, like military service?

 

[monkeydluffy]

no i sent it to Vegriville and i am in Canada right now.i thought inland/outland referred to where you are and where you were went you started the process.anyway.i have nothing like military service or anything that should be holding it up.so i think it is just laying in a pile that moves very slowly.

 

[irajmirza]

100% agree. the same for me. lets pray for the new year and good news.

goodluck

 

[monkeydluffy]

Well thank you good luck to you aswell.

on another note has anybody had success in speeding things up by being on them calling everyday?

 

[kelKel]

Are you working in Canada presently or on visitor status? Have you ordered your CAIPS notes to figure out why it's taking so long and why you haven't heard anything?

 

[irajmirza]

hi,

there is absolutely nothing in my FOSS notes.

 

[kelKel]

Are you inland Ira?

 

[monkeydluffy]

no i have not sent the forms for CAIPS yet as i have a lawyer i am being represented so i recon i need to ask him to send it.thanks for that i will ask him.

 

[irajmirza]

yes I am inlander.

 

[kelKel]

MOnkey I'd do that right away. The max time processing for Pretoria is listed at 17 months right now. That's a long time to be in background checks.

 

[monkeydluffy]

i agree with you kelkel i started sent my lawyer an e-mail last night and today so i am working at it.untill recently the 80% of applications processed in pretoria was 25 months
