FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[ssbv]

Guys...just an update..yesterday I sent the cse to Warsaw. Actually I wanted to inform them about missing mentioning the info regarding my wife's Canada tourist visa rejection in the background form. Today itself I got a reply from them that I should send them the updated background form..quite a quick response.. hopefully we should see the quick processing of our applications...fingers crossed

God wish so!!!! This also confirms that all the files who have been transferred or have received AOR mail from Warsaw are being processed by Warsaw VO only. (This quote I have picked up from another thread which has been specifically created for Warsaw VO transferred files)

 

[justChill_FSW2014]

they must have send through usps ask them for the tracking number and track it as normally it takes 4 to 5 days maximum

They don't have tracking number on those mails i believe

 

[TangoCharlie1234]

NDVO does not send AOR's, if its AOR after PER, then it has to be some other VO, irrespective of whether he mentioned NDVO or anything else. Hope that helps.

This is the reason I said so. How come NDVO pick the file of last week of Sep 14, leaving behind Aug second week onwards and till third week of Sep. NDVO cannot be so heartless.

I will request for suggestions please!! Genuine PROBLEM
I am the principal applicant!
Now, my spouse is getting assigned to a new location on a promotion. We have to re-locate as the house is spouse's company provided. We can maximum stay for next two months ie till March end (children's school session starting in new city etc, etc). I will have to quit my job. Experience is not a consideration ( as working in NOC matching job for last two years).
My timeline:-
App submitted - dec 31 ( cold NOC- likely to meet cap)
Charging - likely latest by 15 Mar (DD)
PER - by Apr first week (?)

Any suggestions for my quitting job & relocating???
Will my situation have any effect on application prospects? And when should I inform CIC???
PLEASE any views from the experienced forum members would be appreciated!!

May be Sao Paulo VO, if not NDVO or WVO or Colombo VO.

Sao Paulo VO doesn't issue AOR. And MR comes before Second Line.

 

[NSharawat21]

No Impact , just inform NDVO once you get your PER and everything will be fine

Friends ..
Successfully completed my medicals today (02/05) at Centre for Migration Medicine Hyderabad. Not able to send MR receipt, RPRF online payment receipt and passport bio pages to NDVO today due to heavy work in office. Will do it first thing tomorrow.

Below is my experience of my Medicals -

Appointment at 9:00AM and reached there on time. Steps followed after entering into CMM (Centre for Migration Medicine)
1) Document Verification at reception (IMM form, Original Passport, Passport copy (first and last page of the passport on same side of A4 size paper) of primary and dependents)
2) Registration (fill in CMM medical form) and Billing (4200/- for each adult and 1200/- for my child (age 1.2 years))
3) Consent form signature
4) Height / Weight / Vision / BP
5) Blood test (HIV and RPR) > 15yrs
6) Digital photograph
7) Urine test > 5yrs
8) Chest X-ray > 11yrs -- X-Ray machine is not working, so people are taken to another center which is just three blocks ahead
9) Panel physician consultation
10) Further tests (only if required)
11) Collect proof of Medicals
12) Medical center (CMM) to submit the case online within 3 business days

Everything went smooth. Medical center staff is very helpful. There are toys for kids, so if you taking your child, they can pass their time without killing you during medicals . My kid had great time playing with other kids..

The only thing where I got panicked is about me and my wife Blood Pressure which came Low. 110/70 and 100/70.. I immediately dropped a message in the forum to seek advise as I never expected Low BP for me and my wife.. Once again it was proved that I am not alone.. Within 5 min, I got replies from 3-4 people saying there wont be any issue or additional tests required unless I have High BP.

Physician has made me remove my dress (top to bottom) except Underwear. It was just for 2-3 min. He checked whether I have any surgery marks on my body. He then asked me whether I have any TB history, any hospitalization history, surgeries, and few such questions.. I said no to everything.. He asked me whether I am thin from starting or did I got thin due to TB.. I said "NO", that's my wait which I am maintaining from very long ..

My wife gone through Cesarean during her delivery. Physician has asked my wife to change her dress giving a Top and Skirt to verify the surgery mark .. A lady nurse has accompanied my wife throughout this process .. Everything went professional .. That's all..

During X-Ray, they asked me to remove my shirt.. this was taken care by male staff for me ..
for my wife, they asked to wear nighty (night dress - long skirt) without inners (this is because there should not be any metal objects (even small) identified in X-Ray) .. They have wrapped lead shield around my wife's abdomen.. All this process for my wife in X-Ray room is taken care by lady staff and is very professional .. so no complaints here again..

I was very tensed about how Medicals may go, but everything went fine in a systematic manner and is very very professional. I recommend CMM as good option in Hyderabad.. There is one other reason for this recommendation, that is, there are two doctors available in CMM and so process moves fast.. I do not know about GYD to comment..

Hope this helps for many who are waiting for MR and who are in MR process !

I will update SS now.. Thanks everyone and all the very best on your process.. Send me PM anytime for any help required... I will respond you immediately once I check my emails..

Regards,
Pandu

My Landing Experience:

I got my Passport back along with CoPR on 4th Feb Morning. I decided to land in Weekend but as my mom's birthday was on 5th Feb, I decided to land on 5th instead.

So Niagara Falls, Canada ha the closet land border from Toronto city, so I decided to complete my landing there. There was little to no snow on the way so I reached Niagara falls within 1h 15m. I was with my friend, so its best to just walk to US side through Rainbow Bridge. I walked up to US side while taking some pictures of frozen falls. Hard took me 5 min to walk to US side, I went there and as I was the only one there it just took couple of minutes. Officer asked me my purpose of Visiting US, I said, I am not here to visit US instead I am here to do Flag-poling. She saw my CoPR and told me that she is not going to give me Administrative refusal instead she stamped my Passport again (I visited US for interview purpose before 2 week, so they cannot give me administrative refusal for another 6 months). It was about 11:50pm EST when I started walking towards Canada again.

I came back to Canadian Side, officer asked to if I had anything with me i.e. Money above certain extent, anything coming from India, etc. I answered "NO" then asked me if I went to US side and came back ?? I said, Yes, I went there, but instead of giving me administrative refusal they stamped my passport again. He saw it directed me to go to another office after giving me declaration card which he filled out himself after asking me few questions. I went up to that office which was across the street, told CBSA officer that I was there for landing. He took my PP and Declaration card. After that he told me to wait. After couple of he called me again, took my COPR, and as soon as he saw "SW" he asked me if I had any proof of fund with me. I gave him my recent bank statement, he was satisfied. He told me if I had my Drivers license for Ontario of any government issued ID for address proof. I gave him one. He told me to wait again. After couple of minutes, he called me, told me sign COPR, explained me few things, cancelled my single entry Visa, and greeted me with "Congratulations You are now a Permanent Resident of Canada." It was 5th Feb (mom's Birthday), 12:12am(my NOC), when I signed my COPR.

That's my Landing experience.

Yesterday got my 6th line update on ECAS: " 6.You entered Canada at the Niagara Falls Rainbow Bridge office on February 5, 2015 and became a Permanent Resident.", and also my status on ECAS changed from "Decision Made" to "Complete" which is last stage of whole application.

Wish all the very best to all those who are waiting for this moment. I will be around for sure, not leaving you leaving you guys until everyone is done.

Inspite of getting 3 times additional document request, File transfer to another VO after 1 document request, Interview with Immigration Officer in New York (after 2.5 months from the date of invitation, which almost drived me crazy) , if I succeeded, everyone should be able to make it through. All you got to have is "PATIENCE".

P.S. Will share my whole experience soon.

GOKU

I HAVE A QUESTION HERE :
WHEN DID YOU GET UR INTERVIEW CALL ?? :-\ :-\ :-\
AFTER MEDICAL OR BEFORE ? AS YOU TIME LINE SAYS...MEDICAL RECEIVED 3RD LINE
AN INTERVIEW 4TH LINE!!

PLEASE CLARIFY..GOKU

As per Spreadsheet interview is before medical as reported by many applicants. And it is logical as well because medicals has to be done only after everything is satisfactory.

Sorry buddy, but in my case it was different. I received Interview request after MR.

And my MR came with a disclaimer " Do at your own risk"

I wonder if anyone has any idea when I will get my RPRF request.

My VO is HKVO.

My ECAS says they started processing our application on October 22. We got our MR about the same time, and did our medicals by mid-November. Our ECAS says medical results have been received, that status changed in late November. Under normal circumstances, that would mean they would start our security checks at the same time. However when we did our medicals, we also told HKVO that we needed to renew some passports of family members. We submitted a CSE with copies of our renewed passports on January 14. Since then we have heard nothing.

We are all visa-exempt, so I am hoping the next steps will be RPRF and COPR. Anyone have any idea how long this might take?
