Hey folks. I'm a little worried about my husband's application. We applied in June and since then eCase says Application Received. I know it might be a little too soon to hear something, but based on every Ankara spreadsheet I check, people's status change to In Process pretty soon after filing the application... Any thought?

Hey Melisaa,
I am around one month and half behind you. Other Visa offices are moving faster than Ankara, I wish Ankara VOs were working faster. May I ask where are the Ankara Spreadsheets you are checking? Can you send me the links for them?

Hi SubZero_2

Here is the link for the spreadsheet of Ankara:

And by the way Melisaa, mine still says Application received since we got approved for sponsporship, and Mrs Asag just recently her status changed to in process. From what I read on this forum, it does not really matter, it depends of the VO ...so don't worry too much!

Turkey2013 is correct. The visa office manually updates the Ecas status. Sometimes, they don't even change it at all.

They have been working on my file since the end of October (they asked for additional documents from us) and my husband had a telephone call from the embassy on November 27. They just updated our Ecas on December 3...

I wouldn't worry at all.

Hello Abe1004,

This forum is so helpful, when you read all the questions they might ask, you realize they are standard, the usual. THE ONLY thing that changes, is the attitude of the VO in the Ankara office...one might think that a women VO would be understanding, open minded and sympathetic but to our surprise she was just a female b"?$%$?%?%. My hubby answered all her damn questions, but the only thing that she could do is look at her stupid computer typing his answers, having no response and just one question after the other like a robot...ohhhh and i forgot the technology of 2013, that during an interview you have your d8%&&?% cellular open and answer it while someone else is talking....Thank you Canada, thank you for hiring idiots with my taxes and judging OUR relationship bc I am OLDER than he is...we are not open minded people, we are just pretending to be, this is the image we portray to the world. Do I really need to go on.

Oh yes, forgot one thing, if we ever get refused for not having a genuine relationship, I will make a promise to the world and especially CANADA, that we will appeal, and once we win, I will shove the PR in the visa's officers face and go back to Turkey, bc this government does NOT deserve my respect, my money and my love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turkey2013 I am sorry to hear that. I hope it would be all fine for you at the end and you get visa issued soon. Did they keep his passport?

It's ok distcom...Actually you remember when everybody was suggesting me to gather real proofs, things we did together with both of our names on, well I remember that all the hotels booked I never submitted with both our names just that I reserved for two adults...so I contacted the hotels, got the proof I needed, added new pics since the wedding (january), added my trip from oct. to nov 2013....I felt confident and drilled hubby about all the possible questions, (red flags and all)....she did NOT take ANY proofs, she did not want the new proofs, she did not even want the originals like asked on the letter when I say NOTHING i mean NOTHING. He came back with the same stuff he went in with. If they kept the passport, I would have said ok that is a sign for visa but she did not want it either.

I am already looking for a lawyer, now just waiting for a decision, she said that they will call him and let him know. I am starting to put adds for renting my house, bc to appeal I have to have an address here in Canada and on monday talk to my boss about giving me a leave of absence.

I know Abe1004 asked me about the questions in the interview, sorry I did not address it, I just went on about the frustration I felt.
There is a thread about interview questions, if you guys ever called for interview, you can rely on these, they are accurate. My husband said it was the same one I practiced with him on....he answered good....she had problems with me being older, I don't even look my age, he even looks older than me, don't even have a wrinkle on my face, I train 4 times a weeks, he does not even train, he smokes I don't.....religion: he does not even follow his religion and neither do I and even gave an example ......I hope you guys never get this women in ankara, since 2010 and even before, she has been there, and until now the attitude has not changed. If it was me being interviewed I would have not been intimidated since I am use to it...anyways I better stop, I can change what happened, I can only move forward, things in our lives happen for a reason, and there must be a damn good one for this!!!!

Turkey2013, it does not feel good to hear what had happened during the interview. I understand how you feel and how much you are suffering from that. I think you will get good news soon. i was thinking what I would have done if I were in your shoes. Though I know you are suffering I think I would have waited a bit more, like by early january, to see what happens. Anyway, I wish you a very good news in a month.

Thank you distcom! I just have to plan you know, I cannot just wait for their answers...we have to plan our lives in or out of Canada.
Before I can get the approval from work, (I work for the govt) they need time to study the case before they can approve my leave of absence lolllll, and for renting my condo, well it takes time....unfortunetly that is how I am, planning ahead...I will be on this thread for as long as someone needs help or have a question! Hope that for all of you a smooth PPR!!!

Honestly Turkey, I wouldnt listen to anybody at the moment.

Firstly, I pray, you don't give up. Because I think that:

1. You are reacting way too seriously, based on the dry tone of the officer (actually its her work)

2. Secondly, the fact, that they didnt take his passport doesn't mean anything, they can still request it


My 2 cents. I will keep praying for you as well as everyone else.
