It varies depending on which visa office you are dealing with.

@ panos - thanks! @ Menace - I'm sure it is stressful but look at all the advice people give on here and I'm sure you will be fine.

They were doing some maintenance on the website recently and a lot of people are having trouble logging on to ECAS. I wouldn't worry.

Oh, look at me being way off! Hmmmmmm, I don't know what to think then. And I thought seeing "in process" was supposed to be a happy moment, not a confusing one. :-\ ;)

I don't think there is a London thread or spreadsheet but from people's signatures, or whatever you call the info under their name, I think there has been some really fast times for recent applications through the UK. Look around a bit.

I don't know. It seems everyone is just having problems logging in from the sponsor's side, but everything is ok when logging in with the applicant's info - which is what I did. Maybe we both got in process at the same time? Judging by the timelines on here, my update of "in process" seems to...

So I just checked ecas today and it has been updated to "In Process" However, I'm trying not to get too excited yet. Some people have had problems logging in with the sponsor's UCI, there has been some maintenance going on, etc. @ Menace on ecas does it say your file is "in process"...

I just checked and it says our application is also in process from July 2nd. Ah! Now, I'm not sure if I should take this as a good sign, or if it is only part of the technical problems they are having! ???

Start filling out all the forms now - use this as a first copy, but by doing this you make sure you really understand what needs to be done. Also start collecting proof of the relationship right away. Phone doctors in your wife's area (or your area if she comes to visit you, I guess it is...

If she wants to stay with you in Canada while the application is processing - she can work remotely (online) for an American company if she can find a job. Also regarding costs don't forget to include the cost for a medical - this can be done in Canada or the US, it seems that Canada is often...

How come you are going to go there and pick him up? Well at least with some extra trips you can start bringing some of his clothes and personal items back with you. We got some cheap one way flights with Icelandair, so we have 2 free 23 kg checked bags. :) But no free meals on the plane....

Belle - ah, you are right! I completely forgot that it said on the SA where they transferred it. I just ran and found it in my files to double check. We are for sure in Rome. I'm starting to stress because we should be seeing something happen this month...I mean some people got CORP in...

About half way there before I will get the notes. I will let you know how much is in there. I'm also starting to get a bit stressed. Lately I've been worrying what if CIC decided to send our application to Vienna (because we live in Berlin, although he is an Italian citizen but we are moving...

Ummm I thought when you were immigrating to Canada, you are allowed to bring (used) personal goods, including a vehicle with you without paying import duties and taxes. (Although the vehicle stuff gets complicated, depending on how old the car is, where it was made, etc) Who is a confused...

Hmmmm....it is hard to tell what the visa office is thinking... 4 years of being married is a long time for a MOC, but also, why would you wait so long to be with your wife - especially if you only see her once a year when she visits? I don't know if the 4 years is a good thing or what they are...

Ya, 26 days probably isnt enough time for notes. Do you have an idea of why they asked for an interview? Are there any "red flags"? Try to identify these issues and be prepared to address them in the interview. I have read other on this forum that the visa officer has brought up age...

Menace, I'm curious - what is Rome's process to for scheduling an interview? Did they just give you a date? Or could you choose a date? How much notice? If you have 30 days before the interview, lots of people also suggest ordering the GCMS notes to give you an idea of what they think about...

There isn't a specific format you have to follow for letters from friends and family. Let them write what they want. But I have read that at least one visa office did not consider letters from friends and family members who used the term "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" So make sure they use...

I was starting to check ECS too often, hoping for some change as well. Now that I ordered notes, I already feel a bit better and will probably only check a couple times between now and getting the notes. Why can't you get your husband to sign? He doesn't want to? Or technical issues of...

You can join the Rome thread here - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/rome-office-t189732.195.html Axxis91 has a spreadsheet in his signature that gives you an idea of how quickly Rome has been processing applications. I think you need to give Rome at least 5 months...
