Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

[Ahmelina23]

No we did not ask for GSMC, we just contacted to MP and he told our case is in security check

Well you don't really need anymore since it's almost been a year already and they told you it's in a security check.

My timeline is similar, we applied on June 1st then it's been transferred to Ankara on August 3rd. Since the interview in December we haven't heard anything notes showed that security check is in process...

It's almost a year for most of us, so I really hope it's almost over! Please keep us updated if you hear anything

Hi everyone
I have the same situation as most of you. I applied for sponsoring my husband on June y. The processing time is over, the medical is expired and all they say to us is that the security checks are not finished yet. This is really annoying as they are giving us all the same answer, sounds like a conspiracy

Mina & Pantea welcome
As you see we are all May and June applicants and we are all waiting, nothing new, they emailed me and also they said they are waiting on security screening as well. let's see what this week will bring for us.

I just don't get it. Security checks, all our husbands are stuck in security checks. I think it's just an exuse. I understand if we were all from the same country, but we are not. So question remains- what's going on? Can someone remind me, how to check if your security is completed. I read somewhere, that you have to fill out a form and wait for 2 months.

Hi Manitobagirl. You are talking about the CSIS form. You have to get your husband consent and fax it and you will get the results in 2 months. I ordered for my husband 17 April. I hope it will have some info. Because for GCMS notes they white out the security parts with a correction pen.

What do you think about sending this request: If the embassy does not disclose any info to the individual or MP will CSIS disclose it?


How can I find out about the status of my immigration screening file?

Click on Give Feedback. There is a space in the complaint form to put name info, etc but it is not mandatory.
Hi Mina. You're welcome. It is sad to know others are in the same situation but together we should be able to do something. Put a clear title such as Ankara taking 1.5 times processing time so far for spouse sponsorship and explain the case. I even wrote if you read this complaint please give it a thorough thought and call Ankara.

I already have done this few months back but there is still no answer, I don't think they are going to do anything about this. Cic is very much so aware of the issue we all have, but for some reason they are not doing anything. Sad but true, we just have to wait, hopefully it's the end of it

I keep doing it once every month sending a new complaint. Sometimes you know the issue but it is good to get reminders about it. They may eventually understand our pain.

Hi guys
Here is the response of inquiry centre to my email , the one I sent on may 19
Good Afternoon,

This is in response to your email below.

Please note that the processing times indicated on our website are only for general guidance and some cases will take longer than others. All efforts are being made to ensure efficient and expeditious processing of all applications

I trust that you will find this information useful.

Kindly,
