    Los Angeles Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Thanks OC and GC, I'm going to look into that! Another quick question, different topic. My wife applied for a VR extension back in August, it was received and signed for on August 31st, yet still no word, 2.5 months later. My understanding is that she has "implied status" and as long as we...

    Los Angeles Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    CG, are American citizens permitted to have both a valid passport AND a passport card? Because my wife's PR is taking so long and she's not, according to Ecas even "in process", my concern is that she'll be required to send her passport sometime around March when we're planning a trip to the...

    To fraud or not to fraud, that is the question

    Just saw your tag line at the bottom of your post. Made my heart constrict for you... Again, I'm so sorry.

    To fraud or not to fraud, that is the question

    My sympathy, you must be devastated and yes, as you've said, humiliated. Such a despicable man. Were I in your shoes, I'd send an email or letter to CIC. At the very least I'd inform them of the matter, giving the name and UCI number. They likely can't do anything, but your story (as well...

    New restriction on sponsorship: Conditional Permanent Residence

    I understand what others are saying, that CIC may not do much, and perhaps that's true, but I can't help but wonder if they may do something if you can prove that he basically ended the relationship/marriage within mere weeks of landing. Were I in your shoes, and if at all possible, I'd bait...

    New restriction on sponsorship: Conditional Permanent Residence

    I'm so sorry, you've been used like a piece of garbage for his gain. I'm not sure of the process, but I would definitely contact CIC to report fraud and give them all the details. If they don't do anything, I'd contact my MP, as well as the Immigration Minister, Jason Kenny. In fact, I'd...

    Just looked at the March spreadsheet, it appears that 6 "Buffalo" applicants are either "In Process", have had a PPR request, with one having landed (Computergeek). There are 8 who, as yet, are still at the "Application Received" stage. Some of the latter, though, don't appear to be on the...

    My wife submitted a change of address in mid-September, received an email earlier this week indicating they'd received it, and as of this morning the new address is reflected in her Ecas status. The email from CPP-O also indicated her application was "...in progress". Unfortunately, Ecas still...

    There Really Are Human Beings At CPP-O, And Kind Ones Too!

    They haven't changed the address on Ecas though, nor is it indicating "In Process", still just "Application and Medicals Received". Hopefully, we'll hear soon!

    There Really Are Human Beings At CPP-O, And Kind Ones Too!

    Well, there really are human beings at CPP-O, apparently kind ones too! ;) My wife submitted a change of address request on September 15th, and also asked if, in fact, her application was in Ottawa or in LA, the latter being the VO indicated on my Sponsorship Approval letter. She also asked...

    Parker, keep an eye on your spam folder. You never know, it could show up there. Sure hope you hear soon, you've been "in process" a while now!

    I know, there's clearly no rhyme or reason when it comes to who gets processed when. I'd imagine an officer grabs a stack, another officer grabs another stack, and they each work through what they've got at a different pace for various reasons. Sure hope our file doesn't mimic my real life...

    Your timeline is running about 1 week before ours (app. recv'd and sponsor approval). My concern is that our ecas has not, as yet, even shown "in process". I know everyone says not to worry, that ecas isn't necessarily up to date, but I'd sure feel better if it read as such, would then hope...

    Has Anyone's App. Been Finalized Without Going, "In Process"?

    Our application was received on March 21st, 2012, AOR received June 26th, 2012, File Transfered to LA (supposedly) June 28th, 2012, with a "Medicals Received" notice. No word of it being "In Process" yet. Is it possible to have an application finalized and receive a PPR without ever being "In...
