LONDON Visa Office Applicants....Lets connect here

[gooDevil]

I have recently (two weeks ago) received ADR for Passport Bio-pages and Height and Eye colours which were duly submitted. I have read on theseforums that its a good sign, and I should be getting PPR anytime soon.

However, I am relocating to Pakistan from GCC to start my own business by first Week of December and not sure how to go about PPR (if I do receive at all) and if does either prior to my departure from Middle East or once I have relocated to Pakistan.

I am hoping that I can get some guidance of this matter, specifically the questions;
1) Are there any implications for my FSW/Express Entry application and/or PPR of my relocation at this stage?
2) Can PPR/Visa Stamping be processed from Pakistan and not from the place, I had applied my application (online) with residential address as Middle East country.

Many thanks in advance to all the great humans!

Should not be an issue, just inform CIC a week before you move out as they generally taake a week to update the details. You can send your passport to the nearest centre by requesting a change... The location change request post POT is addressed mostly in a day.

Noticed a slight pattern. Current trend suggests that lvo is working on files that have August ftds. For example, Justkency (Aug 21) got ppr. Also, Shayanzahid's (August 1), Infinix (August 9), and they both got ppr.Tee man just moved to iP2 and he is Aug 21, LHR who is August 14 recently got ADR and ip2, MoeD whose transfer date is end of August also got ip2. Sulay and dammie whose ftd happens to be August are those still waiting for a movement. Maybe your files are being handled by a slower agent in an already slow VO but just be patient. Iye (July 26) has Adr and should expect ppr soon. Dtush is the only September ftd so far having ppr.

Again, like i said earlier, there is no pattern with LVO. One will be mighty disappointed looking and waiting for patterns. In 8 days, I will clock 3 months since file was transferred to LVO and 178 days since AOR. I have received zilch. No ADR request and absolutely no movement. It is a waiting game. Request for GCMS notes are being ignored, so right now I have absolutely no insight as to what is going on with my file.

In all honesty, beginning to treat this as a plan B and long since started alternate plans.

It’s possible and I sure hope it’s the case. But I also think it’s related to country of origin and the background check needed. If someone has a visa refusal, comes from certain countries or visited/lived there that will also definitely cause delays. The simpler the application the faster it’ll be processed. I noticed in ADVO forum that they are also facing delays. By now I’m thinking what we’re going through is the new norm given the high number of applicants and lower scores needed to enter the pool. I never thought I’d dread weekends as much as I do now

The only visa refusal was from the UK, and I have since visited the UK over 6 times after this. The reason was an incomplete application, i omitted providing a bank statement from my salary account. I believe I gave a very detailed explanation when I was submitting my application regarding this. My application is not complicated. I am the only applicant with no dependents. Travel has always been to safe countries for work and holiday. Only a single PCC from my home country.

So like i said earlier, absolutely no marker to test how an application will go with LVO. they alone understand their own workings. Tired of guessing and waiting and just moving on with life.

Hello Sulay,
Did you mention this UK visa refusal in your application to CIC?

Do you guys know of anyone who isn’t living in London but their file is in London VO? I’m curious to know where they send their passports to, and if this typically means longer waiting times. I have a local visa office in my country of residence, but my file wasn’t sent there.

They will tell you on the PPR letter where to send the passports. I don't think it will mean longer processing times if the country of residence isn't UK. I think they will likely get processed same order as they receive them.
