Ayad, please answer these questions, I can't promise I can help but they may help others to understand your situation better... Are you approved for sponsorship? If you are approved, has anything been sent to VO yet (medicals at least?) What did the letter say when your application was sent...

nika, several people have had this conversation with magpie, he feels it's not relevant because each VO has different processing times and every case is different therefore your experience will be different from his. I understand your frustration though as it's nice to be able to "compare...

The VO won't tell you who is doing your application, but from reading other people on this forum, if your case is straight forward it can go much quicker. Unfortunately, you can't really predict. While the sponsor approval time has increased, the PR approval was always the longest time. You will...

Hi ayad, From what I've read how quickly PR is approved depends on which VO. I go through Sydney office so they currently say 7 months is average, and this is on top of the 2 months I've bee waiting for sponsorship approval, so total time could be 9 months for me. That said, the time Visa...

That's what they told Beast too, do you have confirmation it was successfully delivered?

Yay! Congratulations! So glad to hear!

Hi Beast, I can't remember if you mentioned it, I think you said you've tried calling and they can't find your application, but have you tried logging on to eCas with your receipt number as well? Lot's of people seem to getting told that a letter or email was sent showing they've been approved...

Glad to hear your application has not only been found but approved and already with your VO! Congrats!

Hi Baxx, I can't offer much in the way of advice as I'm still waiting to hear about sponsorship approval too, my application wasn't received until Aug 31 so still a couple of weeks until I should officially hear according to their timelines. What I was going to say is my receipt also started...

Aaaaaaww... It's a few days late, but congrats!

As far as I've heard it's all up to the discretion of the Immigration Officers at the border... I think as long as you can show you intend to return to the US that you should be ok. Assuming you have some documentation authorizing a leave of absence from your employer you could take that with...

I would agree with all of this... Use Facebook; in my case we have lived together for 6 years so not a lot of email or phone contact necessary in that situation, but we have lots of other evidence of our life together, joint bank accounts, credit cards, travel and contents insurance, utility...

Congrats to all of you who have received sponsorship approval in the past few days! Another week down, another week closer for the rest of us ;D

Wow! Congrats to all the August peeps who've received their approvals, so excited for you guys! It's nice to come back from a long weekend away and see some positive action taking place! ;D

I agree with CharlieD. Contact CIC, or Sydney VO about DMP. If you have no luck getting a med done in Aus, hold off on sending your application until you are in Canada and can see a DMP there. Send your app including meds from there, it should be way cheaper to post at least, I had to courier my...

Hi again Pätkis, I believe from another question of yours I responded to that you will be using the Sydney visa office also. As far as I know outland applications require medical exams to be performed prior to applications being submitted so the appropriate forms can be sent with the...

Hi Agentblond, I think I've heard of this applications occassionally being misdirected, but I also think someone else earlier in this thread had his application re-directed to the office in his home country, as opposed to Sydney, despite his being resident in Australia. I'm not sure what your...

Btw, congrats Brighton, I think you've made us all a little happier with that news today :o)

I had a bit of a panic too, but I can't see anywhere in the general guide to completing forms that says this is a requirement. Instructions are different in the Country Specific guides, and for myself (South East Asia & Pacific - 3906) there doesn't appear to be any requirement for this, nor...

Thanks for sharing. Well, from what I'm seeing on this forum alot of people seem to be getting their applications processed at roughly the timing estimated by the website +/-. That's encouraging, I estimate I've still got a couple of weeks left till I should hear about the first stage but it's...
