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

[Cappuccino]

Can't be faulted.

I said much earlier there would be a second review at VO but I was shouted down as talking rubbish.

I am just very surprised they can get away with failing an application during a 2nd eligibility review, after CIO have confirmed IN WRITING to the applicant that their "final" eligibility review has received a positive decision.

I think they could be on rather wobbly legal grounds if anyone had the nerve to take them to court over it!

I must admit I was very surprised to learn that visa office still do a 2nd eligiblity review after CIO have already done the "final" one, but this does seem to be the case.

My understanding:
- CIO perform eligibility review
- ECAS = "CIO eligibility review complete"
- If passed, CIO send application to visa office
- ECAS = "Received by visa office"
- Visa office perform a 2nd eligibility review. I think this is a real fast review just to ensure CIO did not make any errors calculating points etc
- If passed, wait to go "In Process"
- If failed, ECAS goes "Visa office eligibility review complete" shortly followed by "Decision made".
- Once visa officer actually starts working on your application (background document checks / employer verification checks etc) ECAS = "In Process" with the extra line "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on XYZ"

So once you're "In Process" IMO you are safe from this 2nd eligibility review. If you are "RBVO" you are still vulnerable - but IMO only those absolute borderline applications (exactly 67 points or only just enough work experience) are likely to be at risk, since VO just want to be sure CIO didn't make any errors.

Sound about right folks?

Could be, a small difference of opinion here.

There are a lot of people stuck in RBVO - so maybe their look over the CIO eligibility is not as quick.

Or it could be all attributed to E-Cas unreliability.

Dunno really!

Or, and I think this is more likely, the appliations don't receive their 2nd eligibility review the moment they are received but have to wait for someone to get round to doing it?

The checks by the CIO is more of a completeness check and to make sure that each applicants scores at least 67 points.

At the VO, they scrutinize it a little bit more. They also check authenticity of documents before committing to medicals, checking pcc's and processing visa issue.

I believe at this stage they commence background checks which is why some people got interviews very early in the process.

If they have no issues with your documents, you go into process.

They are carrying out background checks before going into process.

Once they have done this, they may request new PCCs, new proof of funds, schedule 1 background information and anything else they find lacking.

The question is what do they do when the application is in process. Wait for background checks to complete. If that is the case why would they request passports and hold them for so long? This is plain nuts. They can just request the passport for stamping and not holding them until other processes are complete. With PP we are stuck.

Is there a way to check the status of ICICI bank draft online on the web.

 

[JasonBourne]

I will rule out ECAS unreliability as I haven't seen a single MR/PPR/RPRF/PCC for someone still in RBVO (or am I wrong??).....I must say that ECAS is much more reliable now than it ever was for post-June 2010 applicants......

I do wonder myself.

I guess they wait for your medicals and other stuff they have requested. Once they get these and have them checked, they issue visas.

Unfortunately they have a backlog at visa issue stage as well which may explain the delay.

Note, some people's passports did not spend that long at VO before being stamped.

And if it's worth anything, apologies to QueenCougar for responding so strongly.

I have succeeded in keeping myself away from this type of discussion for a while. Unfortunately I failed today.

Yes, your apology is worth something to me, Advance123.
Tone of voice cannot be heard in writing, but had I been speaking, you would have heard that I was not questioning your judgement but rather pleading your understanding. There are many ways to interpret written words and I ask that you consider the better interpretation rather than any aggressive or confrontational one. It is never meant in that way.
You are right in some ways to suggest I am desperate - indeed I am desperate to be back with my dear husband and he with me and that implies no weakness for me. In all our 17 years of marriage we have been apart for a fortnight at most until we embarked on this process. Had we the money to risk it, I would have gone with him but unfortunately we do not have that luxury. I know we are not the only ones who are struggling and who have made difficult choices and sacrifices.
I beg you to consider that harsh words from strangers only make people who are already sad even sadder.

I asked Qorax this question too ... he thinks (especially NDVO) keeps carrying on these checks thru Meds, cashing RPRF and PPR.

Thats really scary.

I wonder if they have outsourced the job of background verification and is there any documented case of visa being rejected after passports are sent and RPRF encashed.
