hello fellow July applicants!!! how is our hibernation going? just an update to those who are interested...

April and May are getting DM's and PPR's now.

June are starting to get pre-arrival emails.

so assuming the trend will continue, July applicants will start getting pre-arrival emails a month from now. starting around week of December 11.

the good news in all of this is that even those who has been requested for additional documents doesn't seem to be delayed that much, probably only a couple of weeks instead of a couple of months.

anyway, back to hibernation... hehehe!

Not to be a bubble-buster, but this is totally dependent on the VO. All the VOs have different processing times, so while some April and May folks at certain VOs might be getting DM, that doesn't mean that is the case across the board. It's much better to pay attention to the timeline for your specific VO than to pay attention to what's happening with other July applicants. Once your app is transferred to the VO, the month you applied stops being a good method of comparison to others at different VOs. That being said, I hope your VO is speedy and you hear something soon!

My interview is in almost two weeks from now, on December 6th. I requested notes on November 2nd, so hopefully they'll be back before the interview day. I was notified of the interview on November 7th. I am gathering a bunch of proofs of ongoing and genuine relationship. I am almost done gathering everything and have been practicing for the interview, doing mock interviews. I am getting as well prepared as I can, but also being paranoid that the immigration officer will refuse my application simply because he/she wants to. Last night was probably the worst night of sleep for me so far during this process, but I am hanging in there. We don't have major red flags, although recently I just realized that we do have a couple of red flags that should be easier to overcome than the regular ones. Luckily for me, my VO is one of the fastest, probably just second to Ankara. I really hope everything will go okay, I'm doing everything there is to do from my end. I also realize that perhaps we didn't submit as much evidence as we should have, but they have asked me for more evidence so we should be okay in that regard. Good luck to you all.

We were engaged before meeting in person, and we have spent little time together physically (2 months in total, she staying with me at my house). Why we've spent so little time together can be easily explained. She's just one year younger than me, we have been in a relationship for 19 months now. Same culture and we're both atheist. I published a novel in October, 2017, and on the thank notes I say something like: I thank my wife, (full name) for reminding me who I am, supporting me and being by my side throughout the ups and downs of my life. I also write her poems, (more than a hundred of them), and short stories, things like that. We have proof of these, will bring them to the interview. I'm also submitting phone records, which I didn't with the application upfront. And records of video calls on Skype, and many more proofs.

My relationship with my husband is pretty much the same. He is 6 years older than me, I dont think that would be a red flag... we spent total of 2 1/2 months living together in our house back home. I was engaged for 2 months with him before we got married. We are closing to our 1st year of our wedding in 2months. As long as you prove that your relationship all should go well. Goodluck on your interview.

Hello guys! Hope everyone is doing well with the waiting. Hope you all get news soon.
I was wondering if I submit my additional document "Use of Representative form" the second day after receiving the letter. Do they receive it right away. Or will they stop working on my file until the date they gave me to submit it by which is December 14? I hope they don't stop working on it. Really eager to know if my background check has began and where its at. Did order Gcms notes. Hopefully I'll get an idea where my app is at. Visa office : Warsaw.

Thank you

We know from GCMS notes that typically, if they request documentation from you, they put your application aside until the "bring forward date" which is the day they gave you the deadline for.
