FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[srinidhi007]

Hi,

I got a similar message from ICICI bank. My App received date is 9th June. I already have a chip CC, and think this message is irrelevant. I am going to call the bank and confirm. Which bank's CC are you using and did you call their customer service.

Also, i am guessing since the CC number wont change there shouldnt be a problem, but not sure.

I spoke to ICICI call center and they confirmed that credit card number will be changed, also, i have sent an email to customer care to obtain the confirmation of the timeline and validity of my existing credit card.

Sorry to hear the bad news... when did CIC received your application?

I hope you can make it within the CAP if resend with revised reference letters...

Sorry to hear that but does that mean july 18 completeness check is over?
I wonder how fast they reached july 18

Congrats Dymitrych !!!

Now I am sure that someone from CIC is following the forum and SS and they decided to gain this competent guy behind the SS as early as possible..

Thank you everyone for congratulations regarding my RPRF payment request

And it's not all - I've just received a passport request, just two hours after I've paid the RPRF! Kyiv office continues to surprise with their unbelievable speed

Moreover, as I'm currently in U.S., Kyiv office has requested me to mail my passport to CPC-Ottawa. That's very nice of them, as otherwise I would've had to travel to Kyiv by myself (Ukrainian law does not allow to mail passports internationally to/from Ukraine).

Hello there

My Application was received on May 12 and turned back on July 17.

Sorry for this bad news friend, hope you can prepare the required ref letter and send the new package asap.

Is there any date mentioned on the cover letter so that we can guess when they have checked your application exactly?

Regards,
Ahmed

Why do others take 2 month?

Seniors,

I have given my Citibank Credit card details when I sent the application. Yesterday I got an email from Citibank that OTP will be mandatory. Also a line is included which says it may not be applicable to certain international merchants.

This should not be any problem for CIC to charge my credit card right??? Please advise me on this.
#########################################################################
At Citibank, it is our endeavor to provide you with world class services along with the latest security features. To that end, we are pleased to inform you of a new security enhancement for authenticating online payment transactions. Kindly note the following with regard to this enhancement:
Online payment transactions using your Citibank credit/debit card, exceeding a dynamic threshold amount will require a One Time Password (OTP) authentication.

This additional security feature will be applicable on merchants using the secure Verified by VISA/MasterCard Secure verification platform only and hence may not be applicable to certain international merchants.

The option of authenticating these transactions using Internet PIN (IPIN) will not be available.

The OTP will automatically be sent to the registered mobile number* updated in our records.

This will be effective September 29, 2014.

For 2173 NOC I see CIC is working on 50+ applications per week.

Thanks

This should not be any problem for CIC to charge your credit card

Hello Friends,

I heard on the forum that DD takes 2-14 days to get enchased and CC gets enchased Immediately. But how come the DD and CC charge dates are the same in SS..... According to SS the CC and DD was charged on the same date for many applicants...

Any comments.....

It's noon in NS. And it means that either they did slow down or thread members with applications filed in the first week of June are not updating us with their CC progress.

Please note that when ICICI Bank issues a new chip based CC, the credit card number changes, at least happened in my case. I was lucky to get this new CC before sending the application. However, both the new and old card would be active for another 1 month after you receive this new CC.

Folks, Countrymen, Comrades, Russians, and my dear fellow Indians,

CIC finally charged my credit card yesterday, 22nd September. This was the second attempt. The transaction was declined on 20th September in first attempt. I am 4th June applicant for NOC 2174.

Few points to note concerning my application:

1. CC transaction is always risky. As far as possible please avoid it. Mine was ICICI bank CC with sufficient international credit limit and my CC was active for international transaction. I kept informing the bank that I am expecting $1100 CAD transaction and the customer care officer kept assuring me that everything is fine. However on the D Day ( In fact now the D-1 th Day) of 20th September the transaction was declined. I made 10-12 frenetic calls and was told that the transaction was declined on suspicion of fraudulent transaction. SO much for all the precautions I took earlier. Then I directed them to add this merchant (that is the mighty GOD CIC ) in the "Normalized" list. Apparently this was not done. So should you still go ahead with CC, please make sure:
a. Your card is active for international transaction
b. you have sufficient international credit limit ( this is different from domestic limit)
c. and most important, CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION FSW SY CA is in the banks Normalized ( Trust) list.

2. I have not submitted birth certificate. Instead, mine was Xth class certificate with my DoB and my father's name ( not mother's name)

3. In my PoF, 90% of the amount was through Stock and Mutual Fund and only 10% through traditional instruments such as Saving bank, PPF/PF etc.

Congrats and all the best for future steps.

I'm hoping they slowed down a little
