Hi Lonely, E-cas is very slow to update with anything. I got the Medicals recieved update 2 weeks after the Mrs got her visa so don't sweat over that. As Chelley says Caips will only be updated once the IO opens your file and is looking for more info. You may want to wait to see if your called for an interview as they will tell what 'red flags' the IO has. You can find a great explanation under the General Immigration forum for the codes. It is hard to be patient so just look forward to seeing hubby in 5 weeks and the time will be passable.
Good luck and remember all good things come to he/she that waits

YAY NAE !! What a great update to start off the new year... KG is really going for the people who have applied within the last year... keep it up! I nominate CharlieD to take over the updates, :)

Chelley, isnt it crazy, I think there is a big difference between air travel and land travel.... when i travel by air to america i dont have to apply for a visa ? but when i travel by land I need to have a visa, I still have the visa stapled and stamped in my passport from when i went there, its a peice of paper - weird! Who knows what their reasoning is but whatever, i just comply when ever i go to america and just make sure i either have a visa before hand or go at an off time now.

Lonely... Did you send in original documents (marriage certificate, Jamaican birth certificate)? If not then you will probably be requested for them... Once you receive that request there's a decent chance that your file will be reviewed in 60 days... From there its just going to take how long it takes... I think after doc request the average is 3-4m, but don't quote me, some have been quicker, some much longer... if they do determine an interview is necessary it will be during that review... interviews dates are usually a month or two away from when they are requested to give you time to prepare...

If you sent in Originals ( I did this, so did nae), then you are correct the next contact will likely be either a ppt call or request for interview if they deemed necessary... The odd person has gotten by without request for originals ( I think they sent colored photocopies which may have just been passed off as originals), but the larger majority of those who sent photocopies were asked to produce the original docs (they also give you a chance at this time to submit any further relationship proof, it seems this request is just part of the templated letter they send)


Hope that helps

Morning everyone!

LOL, kc, I was wondering if maybe I should just volunteer for that position, seeing as I am going to be here for a while to come, having not yet submitted my application :p

Well, it's Hump Day and I thought this would be a nice laugh today:

A very good looking man walks into a singles bar, gets a drink and has a seat. During the course of the evening he tries to chat with every single woman who walks into the bar, with no luck. Suddenly a really ugly man, and I mean R-E-A-L-L-Y ugly man walks into the bar. He sits at the bar, and within seconds he is surrounded by women. Very soon he walks out of the bar with the two of the most beautiful women you ever saw. Disheartened by all this, the good looking man asks the barman, 'Excuse me, but that really ugly man just came in here and left with those two stunning women - what's his secret? He's as ugly as sin and I'm everything a girl could want but have not been able to connect all night - What's going on?' 'Well,' Said the Barman, 'I don't know how he does it, but he does the same thing every night. He walks in, orders a drink, and just sits there licking his eyebrows...'

Come on, KG, great start to the week, let's keep it going. NEXT!!!

Hi Chelley... thanks again for the info... we did send the info as they send us a letter that hubby received at the beggining of november... it will be almost 60 days in a few days... so I am guessing maybe a little longer wait because of holidays and maybe also because this was not included in the package when we first filed... Imma keep my fingers crossed... that maybe i hear something in the next month or two.... :D

Good one Charlie, lol. Good morning forum family
Lonely, we submitted colour copies of marriage and birth cert, the Mrs was asked to bring in the originals with her passport to verify the copies so we'll keep our fingers crossed it works this way for you as well

some of us have posted detailed timelines here...

http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class

while i'd caution against comparing your journey to anyone else's, i know that sometimes seeing more details can help one understand the process and it's timing better...

charlie... lol... funny :) and i think you should take over the tracker, it seems to be lucky lately! ;) AND i'm sure you'd do it fabulously!!!
