Hi Faras Cade, From what I have been gathering, the timeline of several applicants applying through the Nairobi office is bordering at around 6 months. While many have been delayed due to specific items, I am just wondering if your case had any red flags or you had to provide additional...

Thank you Ali122! and Congratulations on your PR!!! Hopefully, the rest of us are in that position soon! Best wishes!

Kayaker: Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed response. It has really helped to clarify a lot of questions I had. I will take your suggestion and post a brief synopsis of my situation so other members can help me identify any red flags. Like yourself, my husband and I met and got...

Thank you guys! MilesAway - could you please provide the link where it mentions this on the CIC website? I can't seem to locate it. ACS - Yes, that's what I assumed if I was called for an interview although, most people who are applying through the Nairobi VO are saying that an interview is...

Hi all, I am already living in Canada with my husband who I got married to in June 2014. I came to Canada on a visitor visa and have been on one ever since. I have extended it once since I was putting together my inland paperwork and I have received an extension until January 2015. I have...

Hi all, I have tried searching for any posts relating to the NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS, but do not see any recently updates ones. I am in the process of applying for my PR and have almost filled out my inland application but was advised to look into an outland for Nairobi due to shorter...

Hi all! I have been a part of this forum for a while now but always gravitated towards the "inland application" posts as that's where I thought I belonged. I am already in Canada on a TRV, living with my husband after we got married in June 2014 however, I am of Kenyan nationality and hold a...

Thank you so much! Will definitely do some more research before pursuing either option :D

Thank you rhcohen2014! As much as I hate to see it, I think my best bet will be an inland. I highly doubt the ebola crisis will play any role in my situation as I haven't been in Africa for years however, like you said, I will double check just to be on the safe side. I appreciate all your help!

Hi all, Thanks for your prompt responses. To make things a little more clear, I am of Kenyan nationality and the current processing times for outland applications through the Kenya office are bordering at 21 months after the 44 days of first stage approval. I do not hold any currently...

Hello all, I have been a member on this forum for a while now as I have been working on filling out my inland application. I would have been lost without this forum, so I thank YOU ALL for your words of wisdom. I am still in the process of filling out my inland application, but have faced a...

Wow, thank to you and Trav0370 for the clarification. I learn something new everyday on here from experienced people like yourselves. I will keep this is mind when sending out my application. Good luck!

Hi Elana, I was in the same situation as your husband's and was advised that once you file for your inland application, you assume implied status. Hence, even in the event that you had applied for your husband's visitor visa extension and it got denied, he would still be in good legal standing...

Hi all, I just extended my TRV from within Canada while I am working on my inland application. I called the Ministry of Transportation in Canada and I was informed that I could get an "abstract" from the (US Driver's License office) stating when my first driver's license was issued and I could...

Hi guys! This may sound really silly, but can somebody please tell me where to check the status of my TRV extension? I filed for my extension on July 2nd and I still have not heard anything from the embassy. Will I receive an email or is there a number to call or website to check? Thank you...

From my understanding, you can file your inland application while you are still waiting on your visitor visa extension. Once you file for your inland application, you assume implied status (so even if your extension is rejected, you are in the green). Hopefully, someone more knowledgable on here...

Thank you all SO much!!! Yes, the plan is to submit the OWP with the Inland application while TRV extension is in process to take advantage of the implied status :).

Hello! I am really confused about my dilemma below and would highly appreciate some advice. This forum has been a life saver so thank you to all those who contribute! I am Kenyan by nationality, but studied in the US for 7+ years on a student visa. Last year, I met my husband who is a Canadian...

Hello all, This forum has been so helpful during this gruesome application process and I thank everyone for their help. One final question (hopefully): I received my passport request today and the instructions tell me to view question 9 on my application to see whether I answered yes/no and...

Yay! Congrats! Here is what one helpful person told me in one of my posts regarding where and how to send your passport: Hi Zainy, You can send it to either of the offices. Historically, LA is faster in processing. Coming to the carrier options, it depends on how urgent you want your...
