Welcome highlyfavored... I can understand why you would feel anxious, I think everyone feels the same while waiting on the papers to get processed... looking forward to chatting with you

Hey Reemagray, my file was transferred from Mississauga to Kingston on July 6, 2010 and my husband received the AOR dated of November 3, 2010. He also received at the same time another envelope requesting original birth certificate and original marriage certificate.
As per contacting by email well that was a total waste of my time they never replied, I even send them faxes and never got a response. I went as far as going to the embassy on Oct. 26, 2010 and after going 3 times they finally let me in lol cause I was getting a little irritated from getting mixed information. Once I was in the guy at the front desk told me they didn’t have my husband file in the system. I got a little agitated and in my tone of voice the guy noticed I wasn’t impressed. So he told me, oh yea I remember seeing your husband name in the files. I thought to myself you’re just giving a bunch of stories to get me out of here asap lol... a few days later my husband received the AOR so I think the guy must of been giving me false information.

Well I think if you keep sending a few emails everyday they will get tired of seeing your name pop up and maybe send back something or send you an AOR. It’s worth the try, I mean you got nothing to lose at this point.

BTW for your comment about the patience, I do not have any at all. I look everyday hoping to a change... I BBM my husband all hours of the day for him to call home to check if he got mail... It’s not easy at all being away from the one you love... anyways hope my experience with KG help you a little bit and I hope you soon get some kind of sign on their end to enlighten your day

Ok I am a bit confused because I see people saying that they know that they’re applications are in process... Where do you guys get this info???? Is it from CAIPS??? Is it normal that when I go on cic.gc.ca and check the status I only see final decision made for sponsoring and not for the PR.... the PR side says not available...

Am I suppose to be able to enter the file number B******* to check the status cause at this point when I enter it with my husband info it doesn’t pull up nothing and when I do it with my info nothing either???? Is this normal???

Also I was wondering if anyone got the CAIPS notes and if so do you see tentative dates for each section even if the dates have not gone by yet???

I am wondering if KG conducts the majority of the applicants for interviews???

Lonely_wife, from what I have seen, your husband's file IS in process, because he has received a request for original documents. As for the AOR, from what I have seen, some of the other ladies in process earlier this year just got their AOR's dated in November. Apparently, KG wasn't sending them out for a while, and are catching up on the backlog now.

I don't know if eCAS is actually updated by KG, I can't recall anyone in this thread talking about it, you'd have to ask a more long-time member.

Quite a few persons here have been approved without interviews. It really depends on the IO and how strong they think the application package is, but that's just my opinion. You seem to have a straightforward case, and were well prepared, so it may be that the interview is waived for your husband.

Ok perfect Charlie... Thanks for the info.. I was also thinking my app was in process but I would love to see a change somewhere on the cic.gc.ca but if KG have to do the change I'm sure that nothing at all will happen as they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo slow..... Just overall bad experience with them so far...

Welcome Highflavoured and Lonely_wife!!!! I am sure you will feel right at home on this site as I have in the last month or so.

I too am waiting to hear something from KG. My hubby has only received the AOR and is waiting to see what they will do next. This is very nerve wracking as we all know but I guess all we can do is pray!!!

hello forum family!!

welcome highlyflavoured!! what is your timeline like? I'd like to add you to our list.

wow, I'm going to be totally confused now ... we have 2 highlyflavoured and now a second lonely wife lol

reemagray - our file was sent to KG on Jun 28/10 and hubby didn't get the AOR until Nov 1...it was dated Sept 27. Mind you he didn't check the post office everyday and I was visiting the last week of Oct so it was probably at the post office mid to end of Oct waiting for him. The best way to get any kind of answer from them is to have the MP send an inquiry. They have to answer the MP. It took them about 2 weeks to get back to my MP when she made an inquiry. They sent her the wrong file number and info. When we got the AOR I gave her the right file number, she sent another inquiry and they didn't respond. She sent a 3rd inquiry and it took about a week to get a response. Each time, the IO did not give her any info other than it's being processed. For the most part, unless KG requires an interview or more documents to be submitted, you don't hear from them until they call to request your passport.

lonely_wife - I'm a bit confused by your posts....are you being sponsored or is it your husband being sponsored? what you are going through is normal, KG does update ecas, ecas is not reliable and my husband's B # still doesn't work on it. Not sure why but the Immigration Officers (IO) don't update ecas so you won't know anything. It seems by our forum updates list that the latest timelines are around 7 to 9 months. I got the info about the file in process from ecas and then the AOR letter said what date they received the file. Just a small piece of advice to you...you have to keep yourself busy with other things or you'll go crazy!! It is a long process and unfortunately you do not get any information from them during the process.

Good morning forum friends and family (I hope I am allowed to say that now that I've been here a couple months!).

LOL, yes Nae, the names are quite close, we'll have to keep good track!

For today's cup of laughter:

A man tells his wife that he's going out to buy cigarettes. When he gets to the store he finds out it's closed. So the guy ends up going to the bar to use the vending machine. While there, he has a few beers and begins talking to this beautiful girl. He has a few more beer and the next thing he knows he's in this girl's apartment and having quite a pleasurable time. The next thing he know it was 3:00 AM.

"Oh my, god, my wife is going to kill me!" he exclaimed. "Quick give me some talcum powder!"

She gets him some and he rubs it all over his hands. When he got home his wife is up waiting for him and she's furious. "Where the hell have you been!"

He says, "Well to tell you the truth, I went into a bar, had a few drinks, went home with this blonde and I slept with her." "Let me see your hands!" she demands. He shows his wife his powdery hands.

"Damn liar, you were out bowling again!"

what does AOR means?

THANK YOU ALL FOR WELCOMING ME ITS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE

 

[CharlieD10]

AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt. It is a form letter issued by the embassy to say they have received your file, here is your file number, this is how long it takes to process this type of application, don't call us, we'll call you.

Basically, it just lets you know that they have it in KG and will be working on it at some point.
