HI,
UPDATED DOC WERE SUMMITED ON 28TH JULY'08 TODAY THE CONSULTANT INFORMED ME ABOUT THE LETTER RECEIVED FROM CIC INFORMING THAT MY INTERVIEW HAS BEEN WAIVED AND REQUESTED THE MEDICALS IN NEXT 90 DAYS.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE AFTER SUMMITING THE MEDICALS TO GET A VISA AND FOR HOW LONG NORMALLY THE VISA WILL BE VALID FOR.

It takes 3-4 months after medicals. The visa will be valid till one year from the date you do your medicals. So after you get your visa you might have 6-7 months to land.
Which consulate is processing your case?

Yes, you have to pay the right of landing fee before the visa is issued
If the CHC already had asked for Right of Landing Fee $490 to be submitted with medicals, does it mean visa Gauarenteed?

Thanks

You are almost there. If your medicals are fine, they will ask you to send the passport for visa stamping

Hi

As you said the visa is valid for one year but the one year start from the date your passport has stamped not the one after medicals becasue after medicals if you recived your passport 6 months then what happen I think so that one year start from the date of visa stamp on your passport.

ali786leo,
The visa is valid for one year from the date you did your medicals and not one year from the date the visa is issued.

For example, if you did your medicals in Jan 2008, and you get your visa in June 2008, the visa will be valid till Jan 2009.

Hi gjp

It is strange so if medicals done in jan 2008 and they ask passport for visa stamping in april 2008 and you have your passport in aug 08 so you have 4 -5 months in your hand .

and the date you have done your medical that count down start from that date or the date they send you a letter that you have submit your medicals in 90 days.

Regards
Ali
