Hi PEPO,
If you have a simple case, it can take as short as 1 week. They will send it back with DHL. They should already have your address since you filled it in IMM0008. Let us know when you'll get your passport! :)

Hi Muh,
Did you asked your lawyer about the delay? Maybe he could contact the Embassy.
I guess they have some checks to do with the Korean Embassy...
This delay seems long to me but I had a much simple case.
Let us know when you get some news!!

Sure, our story is a bit complicated. Initially we were rejected last May, due to our relationship not being "genuine". I immediately hired a consultant to help us, but we were stuck as the embassy didnt send us a formal rejection letter. So I ordered my Caips notes and from what was written on the caips notes, my consultant drafted a long letter countering every negative point the VO listed. He then sent it with much proof to the Embassy for an "Administrative Review" in essence like an "Informal Appeal". After the Administrator in the Embassy reviewed the letter and our case, they agreed to re open it and invited my husband for a second interview (Oct. 8th). I flew down to be with him for the interview, but after chatting with my husband for just under 1 hr the VO said that he was convinced and that he would give my husband the visa, all we had to do is renew his criminal and medical checks. Soooooo now just over a month later, my husband is with Visa in his hand :) El humdulillah!!!
My Consultant is amazing at what he does, and for anyone interested, I would be more than happy to share his information with you.
Hi, I just got an e-mail from the Canadian embassy in Cairo that looks like an initial refusal letter and asked to supply them with additional documentation within 30 days or they will refuse our application.
Would you please send me the name of your consultant and how to contact him/her, I'd be very grateful. Thank you very much in advance (I sent to your inbox as well)

Hello everyone,

I applied for family sponsorship to sponsor my husband on Feb 2016. His application is now in the Cairo Visa Office since March 2016. I emailed the Cairo Immigration in October asking them to give me any information. They replied and told me the application is still pending background check resutls. I have not received anything since them. Any idea how long the background check takes? And what is the step after this? Please note that they asked my husband to redo the Medical Examination in Aug and he has sent it to them.

Your help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Jude

Hi Jude,

I would guess security checks depends of each person background. But your application takes a very long time... Cairo is normally one of the fastest to process applications. That's good he already re-do the medical examination. After that, maybe they will call him for interview, and then they will request his passport. Those are the last steps of the process.

Keep hope and let us know how it goes!

Hey jmm klop,

If I was you, I won't bother with ECAS status. I'm not sure they are very good at changing them.
In my case, they requested the passport and the status was not changed to "Decision made".
Don't worry, they will contact you very soon.
Be patient!!! Good luck! :)
