[Mehrdad]

Well guys,

I am on my way to Turkey in about 1 hour! Hopefully I get some good news while I am there!

See you guys when I get back to Canada

Farewell Mrs.Asag. May you come back with an issued visa.

I have a question folks, I asked my MP to follow up on my case with Ankara this is the result he got :

I did this query on Monday 2014-02-03 with MED:
======================================
2013-08-28 - Application received
Nothing in CICV note
= not reviewed
= in queue for initial review
PPT (Posted Processing Time) is 15 months
=
2014-11-28
Is the Est time of completion.
======================================
here are my questions:
1) What is MED?
2)Is it really true (the "Is the Est time of completion" part) ?

Thanks

1) Hmm. Not sure. MED could be the system he used to inquire. The case officer's initials he was in touch with? Clearly MED as "MEDICAL" doesn't work in this situation. Maybe Mediation?

2) I looked at the spreadsheet and saw you were approved to sponsor on 28-Aug-2013, so this estimated time of completion is at the 15 month mark (the 80% completed time for Ankara according to CIC). I wouldn't put a lot of weight in this estimate time date as this is probably a standard response being given.

15 Months is just a number they standardized. Highly doubt that will be the case for sub_zero

Hey All,

shouldn't we get an updated timeline on CIC for processing time in ANKARA?
I thought they update it every 3 months...shouldn't this happen for end of January?

Correct me if I am wrong?

Yes, they should be updating it soon. If I remember correctly back in October there was a delay in the update, it was not exactly at the 3 month mark. So probably next week it should be updated.

in normally they updated it 30-50 day after quarter end.

It is so much "No News" from Ankara for us. I wish somebody could walk to the embassy in Ankara and ask the timeline of those who get their visa issued these days. It seems we are a small number of visa waiters, and do not have much information about what is going on.

Yes, it is for this reason I encourage everyone who is just reading this forum and not joining in, to please share their timeline so all of us can be better informed to what is going on in Ankara.

Ankara visa office issued 1,453 spouses & partner visas from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013
we have only 2%-3% application timelines that applied for spouses & partner, some of them never use internet for gather information. and some of them never knowns about or forum.

maybe many applications received PPR letter during this days but we never inform about them.

This is true. That would have been great if we heard from the majority of applicants. That would have been an amazing knowledge of rough estimated waiting time for everyone. Sharing this page could be a good way to let more people to know about it.

That's right. I expect roughly 5-6 visa issuance each working day on average but we don't hear about them. So, knowing about the timeline of those who get their visa issued would be wonderful knowledge. Which is not easy to access the knowledge.

Hiii guys!

Have been reading your threads, maybe with Mrs Asag being in Ankara, and I am sooo sure she will be first in line on monday morning asking where the hell is her file....lolll but just to let you know that visa's were being issued by Ankara because when my husband was waiting for his visa to be stamped there were 50 people there for the SAME reason...now mind you that not everyone is on this forum so yes it does seem like nothing is happening but keep faith it WILL.

1) Hmm. Not sure. MED could be the system he used to inquire. The case officer's initials he was in touch with? Clearly MED as "MEDICAL" doesn't work in this situation. Maybe Mediation?

I wouldn't put a lot of weight in this estimate time date as this is probably a standard response being given.

By the way, I knew that would have been the response from Ankara, just standard and nothing meaningful. For MED part I too think is the officer's initiales and nothing important there either.....now for the 15 months, like everyone answered you it is ......

I have not left you guys still reading everything you have been writing....seeing these requests cominnnnnnngggggggg!!!!
