Hi Guys @scylla and @armoured
So here is what my lawyer had to say about ARC and Interview timing and mandamus:
1) ARC will be processed after the eligibility interview.
2) Interviews are being held within 18 to 24 months of the date London Visa office has received our application (WOOOWZAA!!).
3) Mandamus should be applied after at least 3months has passed since the processing time which is listed on their website. Scylla was right about this.
In regards to supporting docs my lawyer said I can myself gather all the documents and send it to them directly to LVO email address rather than the webform. I don't know why she said to email directly. But if I have a representative, shouldn't they send it? And is webform or direct email recommended?
Also in terms of further proof of relationship. I will be providing these docs listed below:
1) Our daughters birth certificate. 3 pictures of our daughter.
2) Financial Documents such as Joint bank statements and Interac transfers
3) 10 pictures of the time that my wife visited me.
4) Ticket reservation of when she came and visited.
5) Recent whatsapp messages between us. (only 1 page)
6) Letters by me and my wife. Not Russian novels but with facts.
Also my wife wants to visit me again with our daughter and we have already booked a ticket for her for a later date but our future plans are not concrete yet and can change. We have just booked the ticket for now. The lawyer said to include that as well as this shows our future plans. But I feel as if this will negatively impact our application as in:
1) The officer will loose the interest in lets say expediting our application due to the fact that I will see my daughter eventually.
2) The officer can create more hurdles in terms of intent to return. Then we would have to show more docs to show intent of return.
Should this be included that she might come visit me in the near future with our daughter? Or is the past proof of relationship evidence good enough?
