That's great! Wait, you didn't send one in? Anyways, I hope you have it already, git er done and get this closed out!

 

[seattlegirl]

Yes we already had it but for some reason the attorney was holding it until requested? Now I'm bummed I thought this was procedure... Maybe we could have had PR today??

No PPR for us today? How about tommorow?

Are In process is only a day apart but I havent heard anything since.I dont understand how people from March,April,and even May are getting ppr and where not hearing anything.

I don't understand either Calgary Bound :-( I guess each application is unique with their onw issues. I don't understand either why they ask me for my son's birth certificate when he's a canadien citizen...abyway i mailed it! and today i got my new american passport renew...so i will send then the bio page via fax.

Tick tock, tick tock, yes I am counting time too! It has been 5 weeks since the interview and no news so far! I am not completely breathing as the visa officer told my husband we could receive a refusal letter in 2 months or an acceptance letter in 4 months once the checks are done. Everything is possible...

Today my wife called me while I was still sleeping. She sounded really excited and told me they finally updated our ecas. I jumped out of bed and frantically scrambled to my computer to turn it on. I signed in like I usually do and there it was, finally something new!!! I now have double line again but more importantly, PR application status changed to in process and medical has been received. Lets hope it is not a glitch again.

After many months with nothing and two emails without any reply, I even tried to call the singapore office and was greeted by an automate machine that hanged up on me. I just wanted to speak with anyone that could help me or at least show that singapore office is not operated by robots so I contacted the the high commision of canada in singapore. Again I was greeted by the same automated voice. I learned awhile back that when dealing with automated voice if all fails press 0. Anyways I was able to reach a receptionist. She was really nice untill I mentioned immigration. Her tone suddenly changed and yelled at me they do not deal with immigration and immigration will not talk to you over the phone. Now that I finally got an update at least I know they are alive and well in singapore.

Now I am just hoping my wife will not get interview. Has anyone had medical received and still placed on the interview list?

 

[CharlieD10]

That "medical received" thing is going around, lots of applicants from different visa offices are receiving that same update. I wouldn't get too excited about it yet, I've seen this happen once before this year already. We had about 8 different applications all receive that same update on the Kingston thread (and many others from other visa offices), to date 3 of those Kingston applications are still pending finalization! I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I think this is exactly the same thing as occurred then, and it doesn't really mean anything.

thanks charlie, I know there is still a way to go, I am just glad to see status changed after many months of nothing. i think what what is worst than the waiting part, is the lack of communication. you just don't know what is going on with your file or worry what if they send you something by mail but you did not receive.
