INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

[ACS]

I believe all documents had to be authenticated in Madrid... but I could be wrong about that. So yes, at one point, they passed through Madrid.

We were advised to send the request for background check to:
Central Office of Citizen Services, Ministry of Justice
Plaza de Jacinto Benavente, 3
28012, Madrid

Which is also the one listed on the CIC website.

About birth Certificate, not sure, as my husband was not born there, just living there for a few years.

Ah. Since my husband is from Spain, we did it through the consulate in Toronto. Perhaps that makes a difference.

Oh I bet it might make a difference. Our certificate of a clear record came back with all those sticker/stamps, and embossed stamp.

Same here, I had to send some papework to the consulate and then they sent the request to the local 'delegacion territorial' (in this case it was in Barcelona). A relative picked up the PCC for me, but I seem to recall that if you're rquesting this document by post you do have to go through Madrid.

Looks like things keep moving ahead! Hopefully, this trend will continue. (And, dare I wish it, accelerate?)

it's moving but at the speed of a handicapped turtle. Processing will NOT improve if they continue like this.

O yes. But still they're moving. I hope they tripled their time in sending aips for 2013 applicants so they can start workion 2014 applications. Cant wait to work..

I do not usually trust in GIFs to make my point, but...

Well, the AOR is proof that the application has been opened and deemed complete, not that it's arrived at the centre. So I get a slight delay. However, anyone who has to wait for more than three weeks for an AOR... that just seems pathetic.

Some days, I feel like stopping in at the Mississauga office on my way home and just offering to work for them. Because I swear - they must have need for some help, right?

AoR is NOT proof that the application was deemed complete, just that an application was received. An officer will need to review it before it is deemed complete.

Oh. Well, in our AoR it was deemed complete. By complete, I mean everything was there. Or so it said in the letter.

That was quite true before, but in the summer more than one people got back the entire application AFTER receiving AOR.

Ugh. That sucks. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think that those that gotten the applications back after AOR was due to outdated forms. The quick review to issue AOR was to determine whether all the application forms are there and signed, whether the forms are updated or not. It is at the AIP stage do the agents examine the application closer and notice the forms are outdated.

Since of the long processing times and it being around 13 Months EVEN before your application is looked at what happens if a new form is released? Surely by the time someone starts to process your application it will already be outdated..
