Well we sent documents on Jan 6 , 2016 but didn't get any response until Feb 16 but then I sent an email to LVO and within 2 days got decision made when I got approval the approval date stated was Feb 9, 2016 so I guess you can get ARC approval in 4-8 weeks .
Hi all members need advise on ARC processing .
I have submitted my application and documents for ARC application last year in March/2015 waited almost 6 months and LVO officer send me e-mail that in order to continue processing application, they require Updated original federal USA (FBI) Police Certificate and given me 60 days to submit it, as I studied in USA Alabama state I have sent State Police Certificate. Visa officer send me e mail on 6th August 2015 after six months so I guess my application was just on hold for review all that period of time.
Well it takes 13-14 weeks to get USA FBI certificate and I even e mailed my LVO within a week that I have applied for it and also mentioned about time to get it which will be more than 60 days.
On November, 15 I got this e mail
You were asked on 6th August 2015 to provide updated and additional documentation and information within 45 days in order for us to complete the assessment of your eligibility and admissibility for this application.FBI clearance certificate. To this date, we have received neither the required documents nor any communication from you. You are being granted a final 30 days Sincerely, Immigration Officer
I have mailed it on 7th December 2015 before 30 days expiration with all the explanation and e mail prove that I have informed LVO of my situation. Now it’s almost 3 months and has not heard anything from LVO nothing like they received it ECS just showing "in process" . So am I again in a long queue of waiting 6 to 12 months for review by that time other documents will get expire like my country Pakistan police certificate! as I have sent it on March,15 with my ARC application.
I have got automated email for re-medical on Jan 15 after I was approved for genuine relationship. So my re-medical is also expired if it valid only for a year. Is it case specific or everybody get re-medical request before asked for ARC application submission, if it take longer like 6 to 12 months then why not the re-medical after ARC approval.
Should I e mail LVO officer to know where my immigration and ARC application stands as I got final 30 days for my immigration case as well my re-medical is expired or its normal everybody facing this so just wait for any e mail or letter from them?
