Just when I had hopes the misery would end, we've received a fresh update. "Your application is undergoing a review which takes an additional 15 to 20 working days on top of regular processing times. Once your application is ready to be finalised, you will be advised." I hope you can all...

It's a joke really, it's getting to the point now, where I am about to abandon the idea of a holiday. I'm not taking a holiday at their convenience. It'll cost 20% more to go on holiday any other time of the year, that in real money terms is a lot. When we went to the biometric center in...

I've just posted a letter to them anonymously and said in more detail, that their time scales on their website are fabricated horse manure and that it would be much better and safer for them and applicants (paying customers) if they gave a maximum process time. I doubt they'll respond to my...

Have you sent an email to them using the webform? I sent one last week and got a response after 2 days for another issue. Sent one yesterday no response as of yet.

You see I don't any of us would have a problem with them taking a lot of time, they could take 2 months for TRV for all I care. But I would expect one thing, the processing time on their website to reflect this. There is no point in saying the average processing time is 7 days, I would prefer...

Which office did you apply to/from? It's terrible really, we apply online and it's the 21st century, there shouldn't be any delays for whatever reason. Rather than have delays why not extend the bloody average processing times. If it takes 20 days put 20 days, rather than an average of 9 days...

I'm started to get ****ed off with this whole process. It's a holiday shouldn't be so God damn long and painful to be in a position to go holiday. The CIC processing time is 10 days for London, the High Commission has given a timeframe of 7 work days. It's now the 9th day and they don't even...

2nd time this week, possibly 3rd time where we've got an email saying there's been an update to your application, please check mycic for more information. I took a screenshot before and since the update and there are no changes at all. Is this something to contact them about or is this still...

If a decision is made that quickly it means one of a few things. Firstly and most likely you're financially in a poor position to be travelling. Secondly if you are in a decent position your documentation doesn't support the case. Thirdly you haven't proved that you will come back after a visit...

Not just for Canada but for most countries, applying under a visit visa category as a spouse is not accepted. Better to go down the spouse visa route.

We gave the biometrics in the London VAC last Friday, the biometrics have been received by the VISA Office. Applicant is Pakistani National, living in the UK on a spouse visa. My question is which VISA office will process the application, is it the London one or will this be passed on to...

Took my wife there on Friday, no appointment needed. Got the number from the reception at the main counter downstairs, when upstairs to the Canada section, no queue, so no wait time. In total took about 20 mins to get it all done. Still no update on MyCIC though, perhaps they're working...

I prepared a lot of documents and was applying online. The process online is such that either you have to combine a lot of those documents into a single file or you won't be able to upload them all. They may request them later. If you apply by paper I'm guessing that's not going to be an issue...

I submitted an application last night, it went through. I noticed approximately £100 taken from my bank and it took me to a receipt, albeit a terrible receipt in terms of being able to understand it.

The online process is much clearer, just rattling through most of it, rather tedious, thankfully I had already completed the TRV form and the family one. Do I need to supply a copy of my passport at all for identity?

Thanks for the responses. It's given me a good idea of what to do. I had planned all of my material in a way to do a paper application, hadn't considered the online method at all. My wife needs to do give her biometrics, that's why I was going to hand in an application at the VAC. If I do an...

I've spent a while going through the websites and the forum, but still have a few questions that need answering. I am a British Citizen by birth holding a British Passport. (Currently getting a renewal should be with me in a few days.) My wife is a Pakistani citizen, in the UK on a Spouse VISA...
