I have sent my passport to Abu Dhabi embassy two days ago via VFS in Dubai.

After sending my passport, I realized that I forgot to sign it (since it is newly obtained, and was still unsigned by me).

Will this be a problem? If yes, is there a way to sign it and submit it back?

I appreciate your answers.

Has anyone explored to submit an online Petition to the Minister? This way we might collect all responses and send to his attention.

http://www.gopetition.com/start-a-petition?gclid=CJ3siLPvzcUCFaMewwodqgkATQ
Other and probably better option is what was suggested above, thoughts?

I've sent an email to the other forums seeing if there are any other LVO applicants that can share their experience. We could also ask if these will email the minister also and or sign the petition.....

My fear is that summer holidays are fast approaching and that means holiday season which in turn means that they will slow down even more......not sure that is possible but the risk is very much

Dear Brother,

What documents were requested by you on 12-11-2014. according to my knowledge, those who are waiting for more then 6 months after getting PER would be requested for an interview.

You can raise CSE and i hope you would get a clear picture as to many they replied if there is possibility of an interview.

Kind regards,

Guys i had raised a CSE to LVO to know the process for addition of new born. They have responded me the following:

"Please provide copy of birth certificate and payment of $150 processing fee. This may be paid online:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp

Please also provide copies of all current passport title pages."

They have not asked me to send pictures, nor updated forms etc just the birth certificate, passport and fees.
They have even not mentioned that how they want me to send docs, either by replying their email or through physical copies.
Secondly they have sent me a link to pay fees of my child, i have gone through the link there is option to pay through family.

Need expert advise. thanks

Dear All,

I have paid my RPRF by online payment using my credit card. I have paid for myself, wife and my 3years old daughter. Now i have received an email from LVO that my daughter's payment (CAD 490) was not required and CIC want to return the money back. They give me a email ID to contact for the claim.
-I just need to confirm whether RPRF payment is not required for kids?
-How to claim the refund?
Please share your knowledge/experience.

Thanks in advance.
The RPRF fee is only for applicant, spouse and the accompanying kids above 18 years.

For claim, it's better to contact on the email given by CIC and ask for the guidance. They are the best people to assist you in this matter.

Please proceed as mentioned in the email. My opinion is that VFS is better option and you can track your passport online.

Follow whatever is written in the PPR email. I sent my passports through TCS (because VFS was not mentioned in my PPR email) and it worked out well. It is a cheaper option too (I sent and received 4 passports for a total of Rs. 665 only).

Good Luck.

Hi ciscoccie

LBM is reputable for fast processing, don't worry your file is in best hands.

If we rate visa officers for fast processing from LVO
LBM - would be first (Last Known Visa Stamped of 21 Aug App)
RFI - would be second (Last Known Visa Stamped of 31 Jul App)

i think we should create a list of all Visa Officers to better estimate processing time.

Hi,

In what way i can know who is my visa officer? I want to know..

Thanks
