FSWP2014 Applicants from India with files transferred to Warsaw visa office.

[harrynode]

My TLU was on 16-June-2015. Never traveled out of my country, yet waiting for PPR.

Possible logic for application processing order is, 'Bring forward date' which is set by assigned visa officer. This date depends on last phase/stage of our applications. Let's say if an applicant BF'd was on 10th May and was pending for some document; application will proceed if docs are received by this date. Otherwise, BF'd date may be reset to +30 days or whatever set by the VO process.

Another possibility is credibility of the applicant (more FSW points may mean faster processing compared to other applications with lesser FSW points)

One thing is for sure. VO is clearing files with SOME logic. There can not be random process. Am I right or wrong?

So far as your case is concerned, both the countries that you have traveled are European countries and are in relative neighborhood of Poland. So security checks are naturally going to be faster than USA or Australia, in my humble opinion.

In spite of all these, all I can say is that a stressed and anxious mind try to find a logic behind delay. All we are trying to do is to find a logic.

hello guyz my interview was on 24 march and yes the good news is that i cleared this step successfully... after all questions asked by VO regarding my job experience,proof of funds,education,family in canada,and asked me for Police certificate he said you satisfied me and u r eligible... When he said WELCOME TO CANADA that moment was like i am dreaming hahaha really the VO was so young polite and freindly. the overall experience was so good, at last VO said me that MR will be sent to u within 2 weeks, and you can now start your preparation for canada.... thanks to Almight Allah that he gives me this wonderfull chance and blessed me with success... Cheesy and the more good news is that today is 26 and i received my MR and RPRF guyz so so so happy today going to update my SS

This explains that PPR is confirmed post Meds

You are right when you say processing is not random. It indeed is in order.
All applications must go through same stages, in same order.

However, what we need to understand is that all applications are different.
If you notice, till PER stage all apps are FIFO.

However, after that a number of factors impact processing.
The number of places you have lived in, the number of jobs you have changed, the nature of your job, the type of companies you have worked for, your family composition, etc etc.

Let me point some things which I can definitely understand:
I suspect having lived in Mid East will cause greater scrutiny. in fact, in general, US very often rejects VISAs for people who have lived for long in middle east.
More job changes cause more background checks. It becomes even slower if some of your jobs were in a very small companies.
Even slower if some of them shut shops. Similarily, more scrutiny for ppl who say they are self employed. Also, more scrutiny for professions which do not have very clearly defined roles.
If you have claimed extra points for your spouse qualification, or a family member in Canada, then their backgrounds also need to be checked.
If you got married just before you applied and claimed points for spouse, then it will raise eyebrows. Even getting married during application process can cause some alarms.
Medical conditions can also delay processing.

Now these things are different for each application, and these are not the only things they look for.
Hence it takes different time duration to complete each stage for each app.
And since we do not know such minute details related to each other's application, we start worrying.

Thats why I said earlier, the more you want to establish a trend, the more confused you will be.

Hello Seniors/Applicant
In my application last update was on 30th Oct that was SLU then i added my baby in my application on 21st April with all the documents they asked and then i received a mail saying that background verification is going on from NDVO..
My question was that me my wife have also not yet received the MR so the verification is for all three of us or only my baby..
PLEASE HELP ME OUT....
IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL OF ALL SENIORS and APPLICANTS

Background check is for u and ur wife only. The baby is just born and will not have any background to be checked.

Yeah, makes sense.

But if you had noticed, the pending applications are mostly from 7 to 9th May MR applicants and I have no reason to believe that EACH of these application is very complex so as to prolong the issue of PPR. Neither there is any reason to believe that each November/December cases are very easy to conclude.

 

[psgh]

congrats psgh
at what time you received MR????// So i can expect mine too around that lol

Thanks Smilingpari
I got the email at 2:28PM India time, ..!
All the very best to you & all the other applicants waiting for their MR yet.!
I guess the rest of the backlog files will be cleared in a week or two, so just relax & wait for the good news.,!
Good luck guys .!

 

[JoKa]

Wow!!Very well explained Alok...Thank you so much for giving us a clarity...

And even khigal's message also gives some relief..

 

[harrysandhu22]

so, we are now 3 applicants with travel history outside India. Lets wait for others' responses.

Actually there has to be some logic behind clearing of file. No office would work haphazardly. There has to be a sequence. They are neither clearing according to application date, nor LIFO or FIFO, nor NOC basis.

I had a hint yesterday that there could be some NOC priority but there are mixed NOCs today.

Lets see if travel history is delaying the process or not.

I have traveled to Singapore, K.L., Dubai, Malaysia and twice to U.K but only for short duration of 10/12 days.

I don't think this is a issue as a friend of mine who had also traveled and stayed abroad got his PPR with 7 days of submitting MR. His NOC is also same as mine 0121.

God only know what criteria is being followed.

Yeah, there are applicants both having foreign travel and not having foreign travel. So there are thin chances of being this the reason for delay.

Let us pray for PPR soon.

[adritth]

exactly why I say no point breaking heads trying to figure out logic behind the processing style.

So If PSK doesnt issue the PCC with madien name then you said that I should talk to Police Commissioner. The question is which city? The current city where I am living for past 13 years knows me by name after marriage, so should I go to the city where I grew up and ask them to issue a PCC? if yes then what should the letter say? Current address? Previous address? I am loosing my mind here and panicing at the same time

You need to obtain a PCC which includes your MAIDEN LAST NAME [It can either be a PCC on your current name which mentions an alias of your maiden last name (or) just a PCC on your maiden name]. I was lucky enough to obtain a PCC with just my spouse's maiden name.

Book an appointment at your local Passport office and explain the need for this. Print the email received from CIC and show it to them. It is at the discretion of the passport officer to issue a PCC in maiden name. Your case may involve a police verification as well since it has been 14 years since you've been using your husband's last name. If you are lucky, you will get the PCC containing maiden name.

If your attempt at Passport office is not successful, you have to visit the Police Commissioner's office and persuade them to issue a PCC on your maiden name. (PCC contains your Passport number as well).

Not to scare or demoralize you but, getting PCC on maiden name is difficult and tricky since this is an uncommon request for the officers.

Regarding your son's passport, I'd recommend renewing it and forward the new passport details along with the PCC to avoid hassles at a later point. You will anyways have to renew it in Feb (why not do it now).

Good luck.

As far as I know, PCC doesn't have anything to do with your current/former addresses. PCC is linked to your name & passport number.

As for the location of requesting the PCC, I am not sure. Like I said earlier, requests for PCC mentioning former name is a rare and alien for many officers. So, they might be perplexed in the first instance regarding such a PCC request. If you can convince the respective officer(s), you should get through.

Start with your local PSK first and if fail, approach the City police commissionerate. The City police commissionerate should be able to tell if your request needs to be routed to your former city.

So If PSK doesnt issue the PCC with madien name then you said that I should talk to Police Commissioner. The question is which city? The current city where I am living for past 13 years knows me by name after marriage, so should I go to the city where I grew up and ask them to issue a PCC? if yes then what should the letter say?

The logic of files processing faster in case of PcC of European countries is surely not true.

My PCC is from France having stayed for more than two years and still waiting for PPR after TLU on 25th may....

Right. My PCC is UK still waiting fr PR. see my timelines
