Hey Sorry guys. Couldn't post earlier as I landed late last night and went to sleep immediately.

So here's how it was:

I reached atleast an hour before the interview. I was allowed to enter the premises even though they mentioned in the letter that the canadidates should reach no earlier than 30 minutes.

I presented my letter at the security gate and after security check I was allowed to enter. I gave my letter to the receptionist and she asked me to wait in the hall.

I waited for close to 2 hours before I was called in (1 hour after my scheduled time). I was becoming a little restless as I hate waiting the most and thought about going to the reception and inquiring but controlled myself.

I greeted the lady officer on my way in and she offered me to take a seat.

The first thing she asked -- "Where is your spouse?". The interview letter clearly mentioned that my spouse need not attend the interview so I said so. She confirmed again whether the letter clearly mentioned it and I said yes (I wonder why she asked as she could have checked it on the screen I guess) .

Then she asked me to give her the additional documents that the letter asked for. So I gave her the requested documents one by one (each time explaining what they were). Then she asked me about Marriage Questinnaire and I gave it to her along with the bunch of photos of various outings and additional documents to support my stand (past e-mails, an affidavit etc.). While looking at the pictures that I gave her she took out one picture and asked me about the person we were posing with.

She then started to ask questions about our relationship, how we met, where do we stay and who else stays with us, how is my spouse's relationship with my parents, how is my relationship with my spouses' parents etc (I don't remember everything but it sums up just about everything). She also asked me about my wedding (Just 3 months before the application) and how my parents think about my moving to Canada -- I gave my justification and I think she was convinced by my answer.

She then proceeded to ask some questions about my job. She first asked me to describe the duties and responsibilities that I handle on an ongoing basis. I did and there were few more questions based on the employment letters (including the fresh ones) that I submitted. Then there were some generic questions regarding my job (the structure of my department, work timings, compensation etc.).

In the end, she said that she was satisfied with my responses and that the application will be processed further and that they will contact me if any more information is needed. I asked her about the approximate timeline from here on -- she said that she will put her review/comments in a day or two and then her clerk will check the new information/documents that I submitted and it should be "fairly quick" from here on (She kept all the docs that I gave her and said that they will be returning all the original documents to me).

The whole thing lasted for about 10-12 mins (I was surprised when I came out as others were taking anywhere between 25-30 mins or even more -- I also heard some loud arguements (!!!) while I was seated in the hall.)

After coming out I realized I could have given few more supporting documents (apart from the ones they asked for). I hope this doesn't go against me.


A special thanks to Mitali for her inputs and everything.

Your visa is on the way! Good luck!

GCMS NOTES RECEIVED

I had applied for CAIPS and I received GCMS instead. It is easy to read than CAIPS and after reading it 2 or 3 times you actually get hold of things. Well my eligibility review at VO end is still not completed and currently my file is at Anti Fraud Unit I don't know if its a normal procedure or they suspect something in my case. Anyway, last time when my address disappeared it was not a system fault and they were actually working on it because the comments are made on the same dates. Some kind of assignment is given to one of the VO for my case and due date for the completion of assignment is 30th sept 2011.

Also they have 3 issues in my case. First, they want my bank statement as I only included bank letter at the time of application. Second, they want more concrete and conclusive proof of relation with my relative and proof that he is currently living in Canada. Third, they want to review my employment docs in depth.

I wish all the issues get resolved and they send me medicals request without any further requirements. Those who are still waiting for any kind of correspondence from their VO I would suggest to order CAIPS as it would give you a little relief that your file is not resting in the VO rather they are working on it but yeah slowly and you will also get to know issues they have in your application.

Thank you canada_future for sharing your experience with GCMS. I think it can be a good idea to order the notes if a person feels the waiting time is so long.

Post June 2010 applicants who had been asked for additional documents by London VO after getting In Process, please tell when did they receive medicals after sending the additional documents ?

Dear Friends,

Yesterday we received a phone call from our consultant following by a forwarded email from our Visa Office asking for new PCC. Our initial PCC dates back to about 10 months ago when we first filed. Our ECAS status is also changed to IN PROCESS. So I appreciate if admins could kindly update the status. Processing our file is started on August 25th.

Regards and best of luck for all.
