Hi- I called CIC, they see me in the system and that I'm 'in progress' and to call back in a couple of days. They also said that my sponsorship should be approved in a few days. My application was received Jan 24. I hope to hear some good news in the next few days.

good for you they told you to call back in a few days. my agent said call back in mid-May. lol

Yeah I think I'll call again.. Coz this morning when I called they pointed out to me they are still working on January 19. Now that it is Feb 1, they can't use that as a defense anymore lol. Plus I want to ask them if my updated employment status is still necessary for them or not.

Just Rec'd GCMS notes.

Somewhere between the lines I read this "Information, Photographs and documents submitted with the application suggest a bona fide relationship. Recommend waiver of Interview"

And then on top of it another Officer has written this:
" I concur with the waiver recommendation. No Concerns. Crim passed. Request passport"

This GCMS notes i got is having a timestamp of Mar 28. Now although i knew much better information, this notes calmed down by nerves and aided me interms of understanding the Visa Officers perspective on our file. It feels better to know they're completely convinced about us.

Like I said earlier, I knew a few days back from my MP that criminality, security, background and medical checks are all completed. My instincts tell me that on the Bring Fwd Date 25th April, 2012, the officer would have already made a decision for stamping which currently is not yet reflecting on the ecas.

But i will hold on to it for one more week and see how things change...


Cheers,
Srini

That was rude! well I just called again and this time the agent was friendlier and said they are making final verification and will soon receive a decision. I hope its true.
15 minutes of waiting for an agent to answer, I almost fell asleep to that instrumental music they are playing while on hold.

Hi, I was also thinking of ordering CAIPS a few weeks after the app will be received in the VO. How long did u wait before u requested your GCMS?

Since they have updated the date on the website to February 1st, if you are from January person - I would definitely suggest calling CIC for info. If they say they have no record of you in the system at all still, I would definitely request a supervisor and politely demand to know where your application is.

When you call be sure to have the tracking number from whatever method you shipped your application in case they need to look it up. I would think they should at least have record of all January applicants in their system now since they are saying February 1st.

Good luck everyone!
