Great work here - thanks.

Could I be added please?

-Date application received in Mississauga: 27/10/2014
-Whether you applied as Married or Common-Law: Common-Law
-Date of sponsor approval: 15/01/15
-Which office is processing Phase 2 of your application: Mississauga (I think - see below)
The SA letter, after the met the requirements blur, reads "the Applicaion for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been retained for further processing at CPC Mississauga"
-Date(s) of any other requests you've had: 19/01/2015 - request for Australian Police check (received in Mississauga 11/02/15)

-Whether or not the principal applicant is non-visa exempt: Yes - British
-Current location of the principal applicant: BC, Canada
-Meds Done: 20/10/14
Sounds like your application is in line with mine - I also got a request for French police certs on Jan 19th (I think on the spreadsheet I just mentioned "additional documents") - Do you think this is slowing our apps down? I noticed that some applicants who applied in November have already gotten confirmation..

Yeh I think so.

Hopefully only the time it took to send in the additional documents. Are you also being processed in Mississauga?

Hi all,
Can we be added to the spreadsheet?
Married
Application received in Mississauga 20 December 2014
No word yet

Also, I was wondering if anyone can explain the difference between average processing times of the London office on the spreadsheet (about 6-7 months for 2014) and the CIC figure (29 months). I know there are variations, but the slowest times seem to be about a year on the spreadsheet. Is it (please say it is) a glitch or alarmism on the CIC site?

Thanks!

Before I add you can I have your location? Closest major city is fine if you do not want to be too specific. Thanks.

A lot has been said about the LVO processing time change from 11 months to 29 months. The general consensus is that this change reflects how long the applicants from Pakistan have been waiting. Islamabad had a huge backlog so files were transferred over to London to help. The average time on the spreadsheet should still apply to applicants who are British citizens.

Sorry for missing the previous discussion of the 29 months processing - and thanks for bringing me up to date. It's much appreciated.

My current location is London. Thanks for adding me

Hi,

yes you have to provide birth certifcate from which country he was born, if you cant get hold birth certificate, then he need to go to any solicitor with his british passport and get statutory declaration.

i had the same problem my home country embassy couldnt provide the birth certificate i just went to lawyer and got statutory declaration.

good luck

I doubt very much if you will hear anything from London unless they want something from you. London don't send out AOR
My package isn't delivered yet. but I don't expect any acknowledgement from LVO.
