Re: Immigrant Visa Application -- Prov Nominees @ Abu Dhabi Visa Office (ADVO) 2016

Herewith some interesting insights to ponder on from VictorPapa, a forumer:

--------------------------------

For those who like to find out how many months will their PNP applications take to be finalized these days, I have a Scenario:

I think this scenario can represent their workflow for current 45 days processing time frame at CIO level for Outland applications:
1- They do their completion check within first 30 days and if any signature is missed or something is wrong with application, they will return it to applicant from 30 to 35 days.
2- If one application is OK and passed previous level then they will do their validity checks for provided documents for example for nomination letter, payment receipt,... from 35 to 40 days
3- They finalize applications passed two previous levels and they insert it in their online system and get UCI & file numbers from 40 to 45 days.
4- They send AOR to applicant from 45 to 48 days!

And I think After CIO level these could happen next at Local Visa Office level:

1- CIO transfer applications to their assigned local visa offices within next 3 weeks after EP AOR date.(Transfer)
2- Visa Office will start processing received applications within next 1 to 2 months after application delivered to visa office (In Process)
3- They send Medical request and RPRF within next month after they started processing application (Medical and RPRF request)
4- They receive Medical Results within next month after medical request date If applicant go to do medical without any delay. (Medical Result Received by Visa Office)
5- They will finalize application and send passport request within next month after medical result and RPRF received (Passport Request)
6- They issue visa and stamp passport and send back passport in next two weeks after they receive passport! (Visa Issue)

The whole processing time will be 45 days at CIO level and 3 months(MINIMUM) to 6 months (MAXIMUM) at Local Visa Office level (because any of rows 2,3 & 5 can be done in few days!)

Re: Immigrant Visa Application -- Prov Nominees @ Abu Dhabi Visa Office (ADVO) 2016

Service standard for all paper applications under the Provincial Nominee Program (including from applicants who did not qualify to apply via Express Entry)

Service Standard

CIC’s goal is to process all paper applications under the Provincial Nominee Program within 11 months. This does not include the time it takes the province to process. In order to process an application, we must have all information and supporting documents.

This service standard was implemented in September 2011 and revised in March 2015 to include applications from “base” nominees who do not qualify to apply via Express Entry.

Performance Target

CIC aims to meet the service standard 80 percent of the time.

Well I just hope so. Today I raised a CSE regarding my file location. Let's see if they respond to it. Wishing that the enquiry could bring the file out from the big pile :p Just Kidding

Re: Immigrant Visa Application -- Prov Nominees @ Abu Dhabi Visa Office (ADVO) 2016

I got PPR on Feb27. Submitted Passport to ADVO on same day. No news since. What is the timeline for PPR->Visa for ADVO visa stamping these days?

Issue is that I am on UAE grace period till 15th of March, because i got my visa cancelled on 15th Feb. After that, I will have to start paying fines for overstaying. My new company has processed my new UAE visa but I need the passport back from ADVO for stamping!

znafier, this is applicable to EE application only? maybe..
because my paper based application received by CIC on Jan 13 and until today.. a big silence..
