I have a question - when you send your updated forms by email who do you send it to? The generic London Immigration email that sent you the MR?

sorry if it seems like a stupid question, but just want to make sure I'm within my 5 day deadline and it is received. thanks in advance

In some cases it can take upto 1month or even more for MR to come after SLU

Hello

MXH is the visa officer

My time line is
Application filed on 11 Dec 2014
PER 28 FEB
Additional documents of new born submitted on 5th May
2nd line updated on 7th August

But I received the following reply from MXH 3 times in last one month.

This application is in queue to be processed by an immigration officer.

Usually people get MR soon after 2LU, but it is not the case here.

LOL I know. What you have to do is when you go to the final step in the PP issuance procedure where the Assistant Director stamps your form etc you have to tell him to not cancel the passport as it has a valid visa in it. Then he will stamp another thing on it which says something like "new passport no. ---------- issued in lieu of this old passport"

shb said:
Got it. Thanks.
I was also wondering the same (that I should tell the officer at the PP office not to put CANCELLED stamp on it)
Thanks for the clarification brother.

I hold a paki pp, and with these people u really have to be careful.
What u say and what they do are two different things. lol.

Maybe because Canadian authorities and IOM dont want to take any risks no matter how small regarding the well being of the fetus.


modysudan said:
No it's not, if precautions have been taken. Dose of radiation is small and after the first three months there is no risk in shaa ALLAH.
Regarding boarding, this is another issue, not related to medical exam or x rays.whats the point of doing the whole medical exam if she is not travelling now???
It's better to wait after delivery to do the medical, not because x rays will not be done, but because there will be no advantage of doing it now

I raised CSE in mid June 2015 and got the reply which most of officers in LVO love to send to applicants and in response to CSEs. I shall not tell that reply because most of you have already received it in respone to their CSEs.

Should I send now another CSE now or it will be again useless !!!! What are your suggestions?
It's useless and might be harmful as well , they don't like this kind of CSE, as it's annoying. imagine , that they have to leave there work, to check your status to reply

I think your VO is LBM. Send on her personal email. She'll be fast.

Can you share who is your Visa Officer? It's better to order GCMS NOTES, you will get to know the status of application, that either it is in background, security checks or in verification. They assigned some due date for next review. If again you received a reply that "Application is awaiting review....". This reply doesn't say that the file is in 1st review or in 2nd review. ...,and doesn't clear your confusion that why application is getting delay but I hope the NOTES will give you some relief. I was trying to convince you but I don't know you got the idea.

We are also in waiting queue. ..

Thank you Wash an, I will do just that. And, how did you guess it was her? In fact, i kept debating if I should email her or not the first time with the updated docs, but thought it might be a bit rude.

Thanks once again

Salam and Thanks to all here.

Yesterday I received my Passport with VISA (single entry, valid till 28/7/2016). I have plans to visit Toronto in May 2016 INSHAALLAH.

Sorry guys I don's know how to update timeline details but CIC received my documents in first week of Nov 2014 and yesterday I got my passport with VISA.

Currently I am not sure should I make Munich, Germany OR Canada my permanent home, but I pray to ALLAH SWT to decide best for me and don't put matters in my hand. Please remember me in your prayers.
I wish you all best of luck.

Thanks,
Asad
