Yes, I think you should follow the above and re-submit everything they ask for within 30 days. Also, they ask for the No Crime Certificate here and I think your wife should go and apply it now. Please take note I am not a professional in migration and this is only my opinion.

Thanks! Sounds like we have redo the application again lol We will try to get confirmation from HK VO to see what they really want...

Thank you so much Peggy! Also, can I trouble you another question? Just like 20 minutes ago, my wife received an email from HK VO saying that they have received my application. However, in the meantime, they requested a lot of documents that we had already submitted with the applications, ranging from passport copies, photos, house registry to all kinds of forms. Honestly, if our application package did not have these documents, it would have been returned immediately... I dont understand why request them again...

So is this like a routine that HK VO will request documents regardless I have them in my application or not? or they are seriously requesting document from us? Thank you so much again!

They're not playing games...So read the requests very carefully!
Note: ( -If not yet submitted: ) .
Updated forms......Some are time sensitive. Send them exactly what they ask for.

That depends on if the applicant's BGC is complete.

no news from anyone in the thread?

Nothing after Bulletin 1 (May 9) for me. I am still waiting on biometrics too.

I have a quick question: the principle applicant sent in the requested documents (Schedule A etc.) in April and I'm kind of paranoid about the VO not receiving them. Is it worth sending a Webform asking if the documents were received and added to our file?

Thanks

BGC started on June 4 and nothing after.

How did you deliver the Schedule A? If it is from courier, rest assured if they confirmed delivery.

You can always ask from WebForm, it is rarely that IRCC would reply. If they need anything from you, they would let you know. If you don't hear from them requesting anything, you are fine.

Hi again,

We finally received the biometric request today. I know that's not mandatory for everyone but since we applied in January, it is a requirement for our application, so I'm glad it'll be done with soon.

We applied Oct 2018 with no requirement for biometric.
It was not requested through our process into 2019.

Pay the fees, get it done, and wait for the next step.
Patience

I just checked my cic account and found that they extended the estimated processing time again for another 4 months more. Does anyone here experience the same?

I wouldn't read too much into the estimated processing time because it's just an estimate.
Each application is different and things can change during the process. Not sure why they added the
'stupid bar graph display' and wonder how much that cost? Maybe they think it will cut down on calls to the call centre?
One step at a time.
