Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[Cappuccino]

Well friend, I am even more upset as several london people after me are getting 'in process' when i am still 'RBVO'. I am also upset with my self that i didnt put ND as my VO and made a silly mistake of putting London on my form. If only getting upset could help then i am very very upset. Tough choice. We have to live with it.

Sorry to hear of the delays. Alas we had no choice, both born in England and lived in England all our lives - so we kinda HAD to put London down.

Although if you're currently living in Ireland, would you really want to travel all the way to India for an interview if they asked?

Wayne.

Breaking News For Damascus Applicants,

A number of post June 26 files will be transfered to Warsaw VO. Damascus is suggesting this measure will hopefully speed up the processing of the files. Iranian friends can read the news on www.parscanada.com. Sadly,the English version of the news is not available for other Damascus applicants.

Best Of Luck with Warsaw-bound applications!

they said the application selected to transfer will be picked randomly, do u think Warsaw vo can rub BC better the Damascus? I dont think so anyway I hope this will speedup the process.

I would have gone to India on a heartbeat, i have not been there for past two years now. I might have also enjoyed some world cup win celebrations on the way. I really thought London will be faster as compared to ND but the reality is poles apart.

Ah

Alas I saw from pre-June-2010 timelines that London/Buffalo etc were significantly slower than ND. ND was in fact one of the fastest visa offices. So if I could have chosen a different visa office to London then I would have - but because of our origin and residency we had no choice but London.

I am sorry you made the choice of a slower office, but look at the bright side as long as you get your visa will a few months make much difference? The extra waiting is frustrating (you're preaching to the converted on that one) but hopefully the end result will be the same!

Wayne.

Thanks Wayne,

yes its very encouraging sign as i am an August 2010 applicant and so that you and i am sure as you have already submitted PCC, you will receive Medical request anytime soon. I was going through Pakistan forum and people there mentioned that PCC is required from each and every city where one has spent more than 6 months. And its really a tough task to gather PCC from 5 different places.

RaWheAl

BTW can I please ask your country of origin and current country of residence? Just noticed that Wicked Blues who was also contacted yesterday is from Pakistan, and I think they may have a separate team for Pakistani applications, which might explain why some people are being contacted and not others.

Wayne.

Hey Keyvan,
Your file hasn't been transferred to Warsaw visa office?

How can I know that? Apparently it is with Damascus!

Also look at it this way. Our application reached CIO around 3 weeks before yours. And we went into process approximately 3 weeks ago.

So by those timescales you should be going into process any day now!

Wayne.

Hey there,
The news is true bc some Persians who applied after june 2010 got emails from Warsaw visa office and clearly in email visa office explained for them they did that for making the process fast ...maybe it is bc of Syria... situation ....

Ha Wayne, no dont worry, i am in no hurry at all. I will be happy even if i get my Visa this time next year - i will be happy if i get it earlier but i am in no hurry. I have not made a sinlge phone call or email enquiry or anything. I am a firm believer that whatever time it is going to take, it is going to take. Phones and emails are not going to speed anything. I was just responding to the 'Upset' comment made by our friend from Sydney earlier.

As for the tracking VO timelines and stuff, sadly i got on to this forum after i submitted my application so i did not have the knowledge. That is the reason i am blaming myself for it. Cheers

Congrats Asoo62. Such a good news!!! Which one do you choose to take your docs?
Can I ask when your ECAS changed to "In Process"?
