February 2012 Applicants - Join here!

[ThunderSoul]

I feel for everyone in my situation, its been well over 3 months and nothing from CIC. As they would say here in the UK...what a bunch of wankers!! They have no regards on what we are all going through, if they were only in our position I hope they get their fingers out of their backsides and start processing our applications. I see there is no updates regarding processing times on the website....donkeys!! Now that I have ventalated, i'm off back to go control the airspace above Leeds!! :'(

I waited over 4 months, I think 3 months isn't as bad as 4. Good luck to you!

Who is in charge of the spreadsheet?

 

[ThunderSoul]

He received today the sponsorship approval letter! Dated June, 13th!
I was expecting it next week!

So happy! now only the CSQ is missing and for my application to reach Bucharest VO!

Ecas didn't update yet!

Are you Romanian, Yasmine?

 

[ThunderSoul]

Well my E-CAS was updated. My application says Decision Made.
Good work updating my E-CAS 10 days after I already know the decision.
*yawn*
...

Sponsor application still says received Feb 8. :|

Are you sure the foreign VO updates e-cas?

Yes. And read January to see what happens with Manila. They do passport request right say and are very fast with the visas.

Deficient.

Are you Romanian, Yasmine?

Yeap, and as you said... For years and years the VO timeline was 6 months... I applied and it went up at 7 months

 

[ThunderSoul]

Deficient.

OK.

Hmm...

To Deficient...
Would you mind updating my VO to Manila and changing the note from "additional" to "updated"?
There was no additional form requested, just an updated of one they deemed "incomplete".


Thanks!

Why do you think there's something wrong with your first stage?

There's nothing wrong with the first stage, but for me second stage is easier than the sponsorship approval stage, because I live with my partner in abroad. If they didn't approve my sponsorship than it would have been a big issue, such as appealing or re-applying etc.

Best wishes!

Hmm... isn't everyone like that?
I also had this worry because I just started to work after repeated failed start up business attempts, so only recently I started having a "real" income. Others income were sporadic so I wasn't sure they'd allow me in. But they did. I got approved, so I was very relieved. Now it's up to the 2nd stage.

They updated their average waiting time. From 9 months, it went down to 8 months.

No probs, I've updated it.

By the way, if anybody has any updates or corrections for their entries at all, please let me know. I usually just enter updates based on the timing of when posts are made in this thread but I know the actual dates of things happening at CIC and when they send their emails/letters can differ.
