July 2019 TRV timelines

[kathie16]

Thats a good thing, they already asked you for the passport, so you will get the visa

Not really since it was taken by VFS and they dont have any participation in the decision

Got an update for my July timeline i posted before:

Timeline (Parents and Brother)
July 13, 2019 - Submitted Online
July 18, 2019 - Biometrics Done
July 23, 2019 - Background and Biometric check completed
July 24, 2019 - PPR
july 26, 2019 - Went to VFS Global Phil to submit passport in person
July 28, 2019 - Counterfoiled and IRCC sent passport back to VFSGlobal for pickup
July 30, 2019 - Received a text from VFS that passport is ready for pickup until Aug 9.

Congrats! So far we have the Biometrics marked as complete but not the Background check one, did you submit also a police certificate? My mom doesnt have any criminal records but I'm wondering why this part is taking a while to be completed...

Travel History
Purpose of visit

For Travel history: I told them India itself is a beautiful country and has lots of places we planned to visit in the past before we planned an international trip. We were also busy setting up a new business so going abroad didn't seem like a good plan. Now that we've seen everything India has to offer and business is settled it's the right time to plan the first international trip.

Purpose of visit: I gave day to day itenary, cut the trip from 3 weeks to 2 weeks. Showed all the hotels bookings of where we would be going and flight return tickets.

Gave them a day to day itenary. Hotel bookings and made a financial summary for the trip

Hello

No i didn't give any police certificate. The biometrics will take care of that. They will probably use your biometric scan to search if you or your family have any criminal records. It will also depend on where u are applying from. How long have u been waiting since they had their bio done?

Biometrics were completed on July 17. According to the processing times website it should take 15 days, she is applying from Peru.

As per the processing time of 15 days, today marks the 15th day after Biometric was Completed. This is regarding Visitor Visa from Nepal.

How off it goes from historical processing time (noted in Processing time page of IRCC) and actual time it takes to process?

Do you guys ( from Nepal or India) have any update in your Visitor Visa application?
Thanks..
