Hi there, my husband’s security was not started when I requested GCMS notes and got them on October 23rd. Now the NY visa office has requested an updated FBI clearance even though they’ve had the file for 3 months. Would this mean that security has started then or will they send a request after reviewing the new FBI clearance?
I'm sure someone with more knowledge about NY VO will respond to you. All I can see in this case is - most of the time when someone requests for GCMS, sends a webform or involves an MP - there is usually some movement to the file. Which is a good thing. Even if they have to refuse, bloody hell do it today rather than keep the applicant waiting for 20 months!
Sponsor, assuming they are in Canada, should order GCMS notes, right away!

And there is no such thing like negative impact, because you are asking about your application. In fact, sponsor should get in touch with the MP as well. If its 17 months already, while the processing time has reduced to 13 months, there is a definite reason for being concerned and causing the CIC to get concerned for you as well. If you wont show care and concern about your application, they wont either!
Thank you very much, but the place where I applied is Quebec and my waiting period is 41 months.
So what made you concerned about 17 months - when 41 months is the usual processing period in Quebec?
I want to try my luck, after all, there is no rule that everyone will last 41 months.
I'm not sure if anyone really cares, it's been 18 months since we got married and I've been away from my wife for 17 months, there are those who are in the same boat with me, I hope everyone can reunite with their families as soon as possible.
As I mentioned earlier, take proactive approach. Contact MP and send webforms. Only you can bring any change to your condition. There are some members on this forum who will discourage you from contacting MPs. Ignore them. Its you, your life and your family.
Send the webform, you will get response back within 20 days and also contact your MP. Wish you the very best.
For eight years, my husband's case has been stuck in security checks. In the last eight years, I have put a lot of effort into this project. I also hired a lawyer who put in a lot of effort. I have gone to MP, but it still hasn't been resolved. All four of my children are Canadian citizens, and my husband and children love each other very much. I take my children to visit my husband every holiday, but when we return to Canada they cry so much for their father. My heart is broken at this time as a mother of four. This situation has been going on for 8 years now. As a result, my children are very upset. Is there anything I can do about this? This makes me feel even worse. I couldn't find anyone to help me.
Getting signatures started: How do I do it? What is the maximum number of signatures I can collect? Does it only work in Canada or everywhere? Thank you so much for helping me.

Have you tried the writ of mandamus approach with the help of a lawyer?
Why is your husband stuck in security checks for so long? You should know why it's taking this long and what Canada is concerned about.
IMO signatures are not going to help at all at this point. You need to be working with a very good lawyer.
@scylla is right. Collecting signatures will be a waste of time. It seems that, somehow, too much has been wasted already. Eight years in limbo is an unconscionable amount of time, accepting things are as you say. Seems like something is radically wrong.
While members of this forum are, in my view, often too quick to urge resort to the prerogative writs, such as mandamus, by way of judicial review, this case cries out for it. Take to heart the advice: "You need to be working with a very good lawyer."
