    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    It's good news for all of us because we have some tangible indication of some work being done at LVO. Someone must have gone through the file and went "It looks okay!". IF there is any truth to this flowchart: It'd imply that the next steps are the bundles of security and background checks. In...

    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    MAJOR UPDATE: Got an email from them saying there is a message in my GCkey account. They sent a Pre-Arrival letter. It starts by saying: "We are currently processing your application for permanent residency. You now qualify to receive pre-arrival services to help you prepare for your new life...

    We got AOR2 in April 2021. Our application was received in August 2020.

    AUGUST 2020 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I believe they do all the security and background checks after biometrics and medical. In fact, they keep doing that stuff long after they send you the Pre Arrival letter. So it makes sense that you don't see a DM right after submitting your medical. Unless you are talking about DM for SA, not PR.

    How do I check Current Status of my online visitor visa application?

    I know where in my GCKey account it is. I am just looking for a list of possible messages. In the Current Status section, it now says submitted. What other possible things could it say there? I am asking because I logged in today and it said something different there. I should have taken a...

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    They received in August 2020. They don't need my biometrics because they already have it from a previous visit visa application. The medical I am still waiting for the invitaiton. As for the tension and mental health, I think we should check this every 3 months or so. The process is very slow...

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    No. I have no updates. I stopped looking at the CIC account and will wait for them to email me updates if there is any. The thing is that they have still not sent any emails to me for anything. The only emails from the start have been sent to my wife. Perhaps they will start emailing me from AOR2?

    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    I took a look at the spreadsheet and for May, June, July and August, all the files transferred to London have no more updates after SA. There is one April 2020 applicant who actually reached AOR2 in LVO. There are two March applicants who got the background check "We started processing.." but...

    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    Sorry to hear about all the trouble you've been through. Did they ask for the PC, Schedule A and Travel info documents because they all expired somehow or did you not send them those documents with the original application? I hope our documents don't expire by the time they process the...

    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    They emailed us the SA letter on the 8th of Feb 2021. In that letter they mentioned: If I can count that as file transferred date, then it was transferred on the 8th of Feb. I didn't get any Medical letter. Did you guys get the medical letter? If yes, how long after the SA?

    London Visa Office 2020/2021 (Outland Applicants)

    Hello people, We recently got the SA and the letter told us our file is being moved to London visa office (LVO). We'd like to stay in touch and share relevant information with those who have their files transferred to LVO or will have their files transferred to LVO. We read about a lot of...

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    There is this website that is meant to help applicants. It has all kinds of details on it. This image I saw first on that website. I will share the link if I come across the site again. Hopefully that is what it means. The anxiety of every part of this process is unbearable at times. Hopefully...

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    So in short the processing can be parallel. The only reason I asked is because I assumed it is done in serial as depicted by the chart. Thanks for the response :)

    File Transfer before Medical? Is this normal?

    I found this flowchart online for the process: According to this chart, they should have asked me for biometrics and medical before sending the SA letter. My wife got the SA letter ( a few days ago) and in it they said my file is being moved to London (London didn't contact us yet). They also...

    Do I need to update IRCC about this? If so, how exactly?

    I think it leads to the same pages where you customize it by telling them what visa office your application is being processed at. This is what it says in the letter:

    Do I need to update IRCC about this? If so, how exactly?

    Thanks. I used the link they sent us in the SA letter. Sent them all updates. Hopefully this should help with the processing.

    Do I need to update IRCC about this? If so, how exactly?

    I will need to look in that GCKey account to see where I can pass that information to them and exactly how.

    Do I need to update IRCC about this? If so, how exactly?

    I have a PR application in process and a visit visa in process. I recently extended my UK visa (due to Covid extension of studies). Do I need to send them my new UK immigration documents and any university registration documents? If so, how? I just want to make sure they don't get confused...
