Hi PMM
I need some clarification regarding my immigration processing as you seems to be the most experience.
I was in Canada as a Refugee Claimant with my family and I had there from USA when my H1B visa was revoked. My refugee case was denied, appeal denied, PRRA rejected. Asked to leave Canada. Left in July, 2005 for USA (under "Departure Order becomes a Deportation Order" - Regulation A50).
Before leaving Canada, I had applied for Immigration to Canada under skilled category in April, 2005. I moved to New York and the file also moved to New York.
My timeline is as follows:
AOR - April 2005
Interview - March 2006 (asked to get FBI, RCMP fingerprint report)
Medicals started - May 06, 2006
FBI report submitted - August, 2006 (they already RCMP report)
Medicals completed - October, 2006 (because of my daughter's extra medicals as she is diabetic)
Police Clearance Request for Saudi Arabia - Dec, 2006 (didn't asked before)
Visited NY Consulate General enquiring about ARC - Dec, 2006 (lady advised me that she will let me know)
Visited NY Consulate General again enquiring about ARC - Jan, 2007 (again the same lady advised me that she will let me know)
Received fax stating ARC required for the whole family - Jan 2007 (for me, wife and 3 minor kids. Also stated need not to worry about Saudi Arabia police report. It also mentioned that my medical date are expiring on May 06, 2007)
Submitted ARC with US$1,800.00 - Jan, 2007 (This time, the Immigration Officer who interviewed me was there at the window. She informed me that Saudi Police clearance is still pending besides ROLF. I told her that I would deposit the ROLF within a week or so)
Now I am worried that ARC takes around 3 months time and it might be completed around the same date as that of the expiration date of my medicals.
Is this my fault ?
Sometimes they ask for a certain document and the next they say no and then again they ask for the same document.
They delayed giving me quick info about ARC, whether I have to submit or not. Not a single website states that under regulation A50, a person has to do ARC. It only states that under regulation A52 only a person has to submit ARC.
Could you please suggest what will happen in this scenario ?
Would they give me some leverage here with my medicals expiration or visa time or something that I may not know of.
