That is awesome Cu-tee! I am only a few days behind you!

Question for all of you still waiting to hear for an interview or passport request, have any of you paid the RPRF yet?

I heard if you pay it early it can help stop delays. Just want to know if any of you have paid it. Or those of you with PPR, did you pay this before you got the email?

Thanks!!!!

Approval of sponsorship in 25th of July is the last news I have had, and I am waiting for more news. When I was filing my application, it was mentioned in the application guide that paying the right of permanent residence fee in advance can reduce the processing time so I did it. I don't exactly know when this pre-paying shows a time saving effect, I just took up the suggestion and payed the fee prior to submitting my application.

Perfect, sounds like most people pay it right away. We will pay it on Monday, our application doesn't say in processing yet so we should still be good and not have to wait because of RPRF.

Hi. When have you received the Approval Of Sponsorship letter?

I think that if they haven't asked you to pay the fee and you want to pay it only to complete your previously sent application, maybe you'd better ask the embassy before taking any action. In my opinion it is better to ask them whether they will accept it or not...

What I have noticed, is that some visa offices issue PPR within fist 2-3 months of the application being submitted. I mean maybe I am wrong,but I think thats quite double-standarded.(pardon me for that not being a word). Some offices take 7-8 or even 6 in timeline (in actuality 2) or say 22 but take only 3-4.


I mean why the hell should we wait longer or get it done faster than other offices,or why should others have it faster/longer than us?

I am not being selfish,by asking this, I am just trying to understand the imbalance in processing between offices, especially assuming that there is not as many requests for visa etc from our office it STILL TAKES 9-10 months from what I have observed. This is plainly ridiculous, I know its only been couple of month,I know there has been a strike, but I have been separated from my spouse for almost a year now and I am sure you guys can relate. I mean this causes all sorts of moral,physical,mental and economic strain on a couple.

Same process takes 20-30 days to EU while it takes 16 months (I know its not exact,but thats CIC timeline) for Ankara embassy to process our application. Shame really and I have no idea why it is that way .

Each visa office is different. Some have 20 people working in an office, some have 3. It all depends. Some are more strict with the rules of the Regulations and the Act, some are in countires where marriage of convenience is more prevalent. Not all visa offices are in the same situations. Some don't have many sponsorship applications while others have a ton!

Don't get down, you will be with your loved one! Everything that is good takes time. Inshallah you will be with your spouse soon!! Kepp your head up

Honestly, Mrs Asag, I think thats such a poor excuse on their part. We both know, that beaurocracy is a disease of democratic society, one that has not left Canada untouched. I dont think number of officers should really affect time, like I said, if officials wanted to learn, maybe they should take EU countries in consideration and watch how generally,across the board Germany approves/rejects application within 30 days.

If Germans could, I dont know why Canadians cant. And I am sure as hell you know, theres quite a few people wanting to come to Germany. I am not being a downer, I am just ridiculing the whole process

I guess whats frustrating to me, is that these officials have to realise, the process has to be shortened down, they can't expect people to sit somewhere and wait for 16 months without moving on with their lives.

And its impossible to move on with your life because your significant other is across the world, you cant get a career going because you may be leaving and etc. This is unfair towards people.

Because you probably are an IRANIAN, brother.

No haha, I am not. I bet you feel the same though
