Hello Everyone!

Finally, I'm happy to inform you that I have received my passports with visa stamped with the Conformation of permanent residence on the 21 May 2015 from abudhabi visa office it took around 16 days to get my passport back. The visa stamp on it is 30th of April. My journey took 1 year and 19 days from the day I sent my passports until today. Never lose hope an always search for the correct answer.

Here is my time line:

Received at CIO .......08 May 2014

Quick tips:
- Read t CIC website specific sections from A to z they have all of the basic and important information there.
- Read the forum, and if there is a conflict go with the CIC website go with the CI website
when applying and if you are missing any documents and you are a genuine applicant, justify it with proper related proof as much as you can. CIC know that such cases exist and if you can convince them that you are missing something for a valid reason then they will accept it.

without this forum and its members this made it easy and valuable,and I 'm willing to help anyone if they have questions, please drop m a PM as i don't do daily follow up on the big topics.

Wish you all the best and thanks for the support


Regards,
S7

Aoa every one...

Thanks to ALLAH Almighty...HE is the only hope...

Today I got my PPR+UPDATED INFO CHART REQUEST for each family member from LVO...

I have a query guys...please advise me seniors...

I am in Abu Dhabi and my family is in Pakistan. It is clearly written in the PPR email that I need to submit my passport in Abu Dhabi and my family passport in Pakistan...but when i read the letter it is written that "all documents for you and your accompanying family members must be submitted together in one package"

Plus the updated info chart requires details of principal applicant and accompanying family members...

1. How is it possible to submit all documents in one package in my situation

2. Do I need to include details of all family members in information chart of each family member...because our passports are being submitted in different countries...


Experienced advise please...

Many Congrats Brother
Best wishes

There is a extreme biasness going on at LVO .how come they are responding to Cse that applications are reviewed on order basis.Many July applicants are still waiting for update august Sept Oct applicants are getting updates.they are purely selecting applications according to NOC. How many people agree with me.if they process according to order we July applicants must have received any update so far.

I think they are going on FIFO basis for within every NOC.

I got the same response yest. to CSE....awaiting in queue...and reviewed on received bases. I think it depends on luck and case to case basis...few officers have been processing cases much faster like LBM (MR of Oct appicant) and RFI.

Also i have noticed that people who have sent application outside of Pakistan (eg. middle east) have a rather smooth process. But there are cases of very fast processing for applicants applying from Pakistan as well as evident in spread sheet. Two of my friends (May and August) from NOC 1111 have got their visa even after addition of spouse after PER.

We can just wait and pray for smooth and fast processing.

Same here...early august NOC 1111 applicant. Atleast this forum helps us relating our timelines with others....knowing about people with similar or even more delays helps in staying patient...and gives hope.

This is strange, is LVO still mentioning officers initials in their correspondence.

Yes. I got standard response from MCH yesterday. I believe those who have had some interaction / correspondence / document submissions get replies from their VO.

Can you kindly let me know how many days did they take to respond to your CSE?

0.0625 Days MCH replied within 1.5 hours yesterday.
2 months back I got response within 2 mins. (MCH)
Before that it took 2 days. (MCH)
However, my first CSE was responded after 9/10 days. (DRD - Client service Unit)

u raised so many CSEs, that is the reason LVO is less focussed on processing of cases
