Hi everyone !
interracial marriage :
PA : French
Sponsor : Canadian citizen from Ontario
19 dec 2018 app envoyé
31 dec 2018 AOR
23 février medical request
15 mars transfert bureau paris et commencement traitement
20 avril my husband got the eligibility as a sponsor
12 juin bio request
15 juin bio completed

Silence depuis :(
My file was transferred to Mississauga on March 1st (bio and medical done In February). My application was received on November 5th. And my file has been now transferred to Paris (aug 19th) so I guess it’s normal you do not hear from them for a while. I guess you have to wait that 10-12 months have passed.

Hi everyone, I just received an email from Paris VO asking for extra documents to update IMM008 and IMM5669 and birth certificate. My file was received on Nov 5th and my file transferred to Paris on Aug 19th. I just wonder why they ask for these forms again and any one knows how long will it take for updating my file from past experience ?

Hello, any updates regarding your application?
I wasn't able to find a 2018/2019 Paris Visa Office thread for spousal sponsorship so I decided to make one just in case there were people out there like myself who have their spouse's (or their own) application at the Paris Visa office! Our application was just sent there March 8th, 2019 but I would love for this to be a place where people who have their applications in Paris from 2018 and 2019 can come together to give perspective as to their processing times and of course for us to support each other. Here is our timeline to start things off:

PA: Tunisian (Outland)
App Received: Jan 7th, 2019
AOR: Feb 28th, 2019
SA: March 1st, 2019
MR: March 1st. 2019
Background Check: March 4th, 2019
Medical Exam Completed: March 7th
Transfer to Paris: March 8th

I'm sorry for the lte reply I haven't been on but I have no clue. It's possible they misplaced them sadly. Have you sent them yet?

Mine just got transferred earlier this month, so i don't think I'll hear something from them. Have you tried requesting GCMS notes?
Did you apply in 2019 or 2018? And not yet. I don't think I will until possibly the end of next month if we still don't hear back for biometrics. I know many people who applied in November and December that still didn't get bio or med so I guess I'm not too worried. Just gotta be patient I suppose! :(
 
My husband is Algerian (Muslim) and 6 years younger and I'm Afro Canadian our process has been moving along ok so far, they recieved our application on 27th March and asked for medical and Biometric on 22nd and 21 May respectively so far and he did his medical on 2nd of June and passed it on 10th June started processing the application on 19th June. Good luck to you and yours on the process. I know seems like forever and this process is like playing a waiting game but will be worth it in the end keep your head up. :)
We almost have the same timeline!

Application received March 13th, bio request and medical request May 28th and 29th. Both done on May 30th. Medical passed on June 5th. They also started processing the application on June 19th.

We're eagerly waiting for some news but trying to be patient.

Here's my timeline,
Application received: July 4th 2019
AOR: August 28th
Biometric request: August 27th
Medical request: August 30th and passed September 8th
Moved to Paris VO: September 4th
And nothing after that, not even AOR2, so I'm planning to request a GCMS notes just to make them look at the file in case they forgot about it.
But I'm surprised that till now you didn't receive biometric request!

There are many people missing either medical or bio request who applied back on 2018 so I am not too worried but I am just hoping they send it soon. They sent it to you quite fast! Possibly because it was before the transfer. Once our was transferred it has been silent... my husband did biometrics back in 2016 and they are on his account on gckey but I know he has to do them again. Not sure if that makes a difference but I'm hoping everything comes at once hopefully in October or November. I just want to go back to Tunisia to get him in January or February. That is my wish! If we don't receive anything by November I will send in a GCMS notes request for sure. This process is so unpredictable. :(

For the biometric request they won't ask for it because they already have it and it is valid for 10 years.

Unfortunately although that is true, for this process PR, they need it again. For some reason it's different than for visitor's **eye roll** lol so they are going ot ask us again sadly.
