How much longer after RPRF?

[amostpainfulwait]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of the senior members could advice me on the following two questions:

1. We have applied outland and my wife's file has been In Process (on ECAS) at SVO since Aug 14, 2015. We recently received a request to pay the RPRF. How close are we to getting a PPR (if at all)? How long does it take to get a PPR after the RPRF has been paid? The SVO email just mentions: "Please follow the steps below so that we can continue processing your application." but it does not say or indicate that they are nearing the end of the processing phase. It simply mentions that the fee is required to continue with their processing (I guess I would like to know if anyone knows this: do they check to see if the fee is paid when they first touch the file at the outland VO, or is it towards the end of their processing?).

2. For those who have not paid the RPRF upfront, does getting this fee request mean that an interview has been waived? Or is there still chance for an interview after the RPRF request?

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. We've been IP since August 20th and haven't heard anything besides another email asking us to submit the background check if we haven't already. Was hoping we'd see DM soon since that last batch saw DM less than a month after IP. Hopefully we hear something before the holiday delays.

 

[amostpainfulwait]

Yeah I really hope so too missmegan.

Bump! Any kind soul willing to help? Pleasee

I got COPR two weeks after RPRF. I'm visa excempt so they didn't request and interview.

I'll add that I got DM just a week after RPRF. Good luck!

 

[amostpainfulwait]

Oh nice congrats!

Anyone have any experience for non-visa exempt countries? Or know the answers to the above questions? Thanks!

 

[amostpainfulwait]

Still wondering if anyone here from a non visa exempt country has had a similar experience as mine. If anyone knows the answers to the above questions, please kindly advice. Thanks!

Good luck

Did you all Apply INLAND?

I have not paid the RPRF fee yet but have DM status and I am awaiting the interview...

I am wondering that if I can wait until a week before to pay my RPRF fee. It will not slow anything down will it?

Yes island, no will not slow down nothing.
I'm still waiting for my medical, they did not ask for it. I guess must pass interview first. Medical is the last step
