hey Disfrust, Doncarlos and other readers!

I have some hope for you all. Hang in there...

Great news!!! My wife also got PP back with visa last night / her morning!! 8) ;D ;D 8)

Don, is your wife in Karachi?

Timeline
Applied November 17th 2010
Ecas updated Jan 2011 that file was received (AOR) Dec 23rd 2010
Supplement & updated Forms April 2012
Re-Medical issued May 15, Received June 6th, Done June 27th and ecas update July 21st 2012
Re-PCC requested June 26th.
PPR Feb 9th 2013
PP Return Feb 20th 2013 (11 days - 1 day delay due to TCS issue).

Total time 27 months (26 from AOR).

Other Info
- Applied with Nikkah case
- Did Rukshati following year + to avoid any objection.

Lessons learned personally and from other members here.
- Assume it will take 26 or max time for Process. Plan your life around that. Don't hope for a quick process.
- There were many opportunities we didn't avail, thinking, its almost done, 1 more month. Oh Re-Medical! Now only 1-2 months more. etc. Its easier to break plans and pack-up and go rather than sit in the unknown and make no plans.
- Do full wedding instead of Nikkah and wedding. We ended up spending more money and organizational hassle. Don't get me wrong, I loved all events and had fun! This will also avoid objection from CHC regarding consummation of marriage.
- On initial application, send photos, travel boarding passes, other information. This did help and we also updated on wedding time. To remove any doubt from them.
- If you can, avoid having children as that will prolong your file and create complications with Medicals and Paper work. Not to mention personal depression of being away from your spouse and child.


If anything pops in my head, I will let you know.

Also, my wife got the PR Sticker on passport but also received PR letter but has watermark of Not Valid for Travel. I asked her to take it with her just in case but Sticker of PR should be enough.

Cheers!! ;D ;D

Wish u very good luck for your upcoming life.
thankyou very much for your good wishes. You will get it soon inshallah too, 2 big months are passed it would be coming soon i hope. Your is husband case na? They differ very much. Me and my wife use this same forum account...and would definitely share the landing experience also (inshallah), no doubt information here is very real, experience based and very helpful...lekin ye na ho k aap pehle hee land kar chukay hon inshallah...hahahahahhaha :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p.
Dont loose hope, this is the last thing to wait regarding case (CHC nightmare is abt to over) see people are waiting for remed, ppr etc. And also remember your time when u didnt have remed, PPR and u anxiously waited for that. Aaaj nahi to kal, kal nahi to parso...aa jyga
