I guess we fall in the 20% statistic that goes over the 12 month processing time. We needed an interview and we unfortunately had longer waiting times at several steps which delayed the processing of our application. Bad luck in the timing of when we submitted too. We were never asked for...

Did you submit the 20 photos they asked for? Usually people have way more than this but they don't want you to submit more, so not sure why this would be a concern for most people. Why didn't they just ask you guys for more photos then?? My spouse has his interview on March 19 and our GCMS...

Congrats! Your long wait is coming to an end soon! Hopefully the paperwork will come through fast now! Thanks for all your advice from before! Best of luck to you and your wife!

Congratulations! Good that your PPR came quick!

Well, I sure hope so, for your VO and others (Mexico processes applications from 23 or so different countries in Latinamerica). I think another issue you might want to bring up is the lack of updates. Again, this is a sore spot with me as no updates on eCAS and GCKey were provided the whole...

Thank you for your sympathy! I just hope for a positive result after the interview. Then all the waiting would have been worth it.

Hi there, Just to put my 2 cents in, because I was mentioned in this post. I agree in principle with this letter. However, without much concrete evidence to back up your claims for the inconsistent processing times, the government will just take this as another letter from applicants griping...

No idea, but they must have looked at your documents and now they changed the status, so hopefully that is a good sign that they are doing something.

My background check has been in progress since February 22, 2017 (over a year now). I cannot gage where they are at by looking at that. And anyways, they aren't doing anything with our app right now since it has been transferred to another visa office where we are getting our interview done...

My MP is usually quite prompt in getting back to us. Usually within 4 or 5 business days after they receive my email they email me back with a response about our status update. I sent in an email directly to the VO (I had corresponded to them directly an email address there before) and...

Yup. I think when you hit the 12 month mark, your anxiety reaches a climax. Then strangely after that my anxiety dropped off. I don't know if it was because shortly afterwards, we heard about the interview and also a bunch of things also happened in my personal life that diverted my...

I am mostly bringing in evidence from after we submitted the application which they are not aware of, to show evidence of and ongoing marriage-like relationship. We don't have a joint bank account as there really is no point since he has a job and supports himself in Chile and I have a job...

Wow, sorry you have had to wait so long. I thought it was bad that we had to wait 3 months to hear something, but you have been waiting 6 months now? I will post what questions they asked him next month, if it helps anyone.

My partner has an interview on the 19th next month. The email they sent him did not ask him to bring any further proof of evidence of relationship, only an updated PCC and driving record. I am nevertheless going to collect and bring to my partner more emails, Western union bills, forms I...

About the 12 months in processing, nothing magically happens to speed up your application. When we hit 12 months for our app, I sent an email to my MP and they told me that they don't do anything extra. They send an email to the office for MP's only and get an update on the status of your...

Hang in there, it can happen any day now, hopefully! So not impressed with the whole process going through the Mexico City Visa Office!

I was so surprised that they 1) answered 2) answered within an hour of sending out the email. I told my partner that it is highly likely that they will even respond. And then suddenly he said he got 2 emails ... one for the confirmation of receipt of the email and then a response to the...

Thanks for your reply, but my partner emailed the embassy and they said that ONLY the originals are required, so one less thing to worry about. I was thinking that they probably wouldn't reply to our email about information, but they answered within one hour of sending out the email. I am...

Well, I am taking a night course right now and it doesn't end until March 23. Supposedly you can only miss one class, but in order to go for a week, I will have to miss 2 classes. I am going to see if the instructor will let me do this. Hopefully it's OK, since this is kind of important...

My partner is scheduled to have an interview at the Embassy of Canada in Buenos Aires on March 19 and was requested to bring a new PCC (Certificado de Antecedentes) and his driving record (Hoja de Vida del Conductor) from Chile. It does not say that he needs to have these translated into...
