Hi Guys, London Update -

I got my Passport Request today by post (snail mail). It is dated 29th of June 2011. Wayne and Danishmaroo received it by email. So I think people outside UK get it by post. Our friend AM in Pakistan got it by email though. So there seems to be no order to it.

I have one question - On the PPR they say that the "Passport identification page should not have any delamination". I just looked at my and my wife's PP and there seems to be small delamination at one corner. Did anyone experience this, any advice/ suggestion will be welcome.

By the way for the address on ECAS followers - My ECAS still says 'in-process' but my address has disappeared.

Cheers

I dont exactly get what you mean but as my experience shows when Ecas turns into in process means that medicals have been sent

Hi - that's not correct.

When ECAS turns "In Process" it means just that - your application is now in process. This means you have passed the visa office eligibility review and that the background document checks, including employment verification if needed, have begun.

The length of time the background document checks take can vary greatly between visa offices and cases - from a few days to several months.

So being "In Process" doesn't mean your medical requests are yet on the way.

Ah. So it is a case that it is technically illegal, but realistically never implemented?

In the UK we have some very strange laws still in force. Like it is illegal, as a taxi driver, to drive a taxi in London without a pale of hay and some water in the back of your taxi! This stems from the days when taxis used to be horse-drawn. Since the law was never revoked, taxi drivers can TECHNICALLY be prosecuted for it - but realistically it is of course not implemented because the law is no longer relevant.

RFLMAO........ Hilarious stuff, funny old laws every country has them

Hi Wayne,

What do you say to ecas status that changed to "In Process" a few days after PER (2 days actually) and has not changed back since then. When can I expect RBVO?

LOL.

By the way - our ECAS = "Decision Made" and has been for over a week, and our address just disappeared today!

So it seems it can be as a result of system-wide updates, not necessarily an update to do with your personal case.

No idea m8 really. I know when ECAS was first available for us it was "In Process" but with only 2 lines in the detail. Then a couple of weeks later it was "RBVO". We had to wait a further month to be "In Process" again propertly with 3 lines in the detail this time, including the "Your application has been reviewed and we started processing on XYZ".

So hope those timelines help - otherwise just take the averages from those from your own visa office, although I suspect with ECAS being sometimes so slow to update that it's likely to be a bit random.

Alireza and me are both RBVO since March 3rd & 4th.
Who said Alireza is in Process?

 

[JasonBourne]

Of course if you send a courier it will get delivered......The point here is that it's NOT ALLOWED by the issuing authority.......

Dear Bourne,

I have send atleast 3 times my passport out of country to Buffalo, United States each time I renewed my visa. I did not find any problem. As I mentioned earlier when my friend tried to send the passport only India POst accepted , DHL or other courier services did not accept.

Absolutely, my neighbour who is a Doctor from India had to get the visas for his wife and daughter. Now instead of doing that in Irish embassy in India, he got thier passports here got them stamped here as he knew people here and then dispatched them back to India and they arrived here later. I am not that worried of rules that are just there because no one has or wants to remove them.

 

[JasonBourne]

Well the passport rule is not so irrelevant as the taxi rule......Imagine if the VO holds on to the applicant's passport for an extended period of time (like ND VO) and the applicant runs into some sort of trouble as an alien.......

[tommy21]

it has almost been 20 weeks since I am RBVO from buffalo, can I send them a email and ask how it is going?

Jasson you are correct, but there is no other go to send PP by Courier, as each county is not having VO. Just for example Gulf Countries Visa office is london...so who ever is staying there they have to send their PP to london VO by courier. People can not leave their JOB and go with their PP to the Visa office country and wait for the visa.

One thing can be done if local Canadian Embassy (Even if they are not delaing with Immigration Visa) receive the passport and they arrange to send to concren VO...hope proble will solve in this case.

This is my openion.

Anyhow best of luch..hope you will receive your Medical soon.

Well Jason, I totally agree with you. But suggest me something - I cannot get a UK visa now as it will take a month or so from now and then i have to go to UK and get it sorted. If I am unable to send it by post then i have no other viable choice.
