Hi Rawdah
Is there any update from your side. I was not in the forum for a long time. Little bit demoralized due to the way LVO going on.
Regards

Second line added, sent them requested additional docs on 12 March. No update since that.
Raised CSE, got to know my file await completion of BG checks.

Should we (LVO Applications) expect our applications to go beyond 2014 year ?

After the induction of EOI by January 2015, will we still be hanging around ?

Acutally they have to windup by end of 2014 for all the FSW 2013. But the way LVO processing any thing could happen :-X :-\ :-\

by seeing the progress in coming month before July we can predict later...

i truly agree...australian immigration is expensive but a lot more organized...we get to talk to our visa officer whenever we wish...CIC (particularly LVO) can never be so good....

i expected all may-august 2013 applicants will hear in march but nothing happened...ok 1 or 2 can be exceptions but not the whole bunch..
CIC should take a decision to shift LVO's load on other visa offices...i wonder if Abu Dhabi visa office can be more efficient for most of the applicants...
but unfortunately we r not the ones to guide CIC ...

LVO is just working in their own way! They don't care for their applicants like Australian immigration.Many applicants of May till august are seeking their way. they are just playing a bluff game on name of security & meanwhile they are giving a explanation bullies to all interviewed applicants "we are doing interview randomly".All Middle east / Pak resident are getting PR in Austrlia & Usa widout interview.What the hell with Canada while many ppl are residing there.They have concern with only revenue(fees & huge amount to be transferred) & work in their desi way but Australia wants sharp mind and agility for their country & intended expatriate!

Hi Maria_Sal

Under review we will be in contact in due course

Hi iman....

It was a relief slightly to learn u got similar reply...im shocked but...y would they say file under review when at the same time others r being told tht bg checks r running....

hope its positive like how farhan explained...

Did you hear something......as on Apr 04 you shared that upon youe CSE you got the answer that your file was under review that time.
I am asking this because, upon CSE reat of us have gotten the reply that our files are awaiting review by immigration officer, while your file was under review as of Apr 04, 2014.........

On Apr 04, one of the applicant's file (I am missing his forum name,,may be mjane...35, who had gotten MR on 06th Feb 2014) was already under review by immigration officer as he shared on the forum. I am expecting seriously that he'd come-up with the news that he's gotten PPR in couple of days ahead............
I am also thinking to lodge another CSE if nothing is heard by end Apr 2014.

Hello everyone, i need your opinions regarding transfer. Is it possible to ask in CSE if you want to transfer your file from London to your Citizenship Origin? Like me, from London to Philippines. I am currently in Saudi but since little bit frustrated with the pace of the processing in London, can i write them that i would like to transfer to Manila? Will it be ok?

You can send them CSE but they will not transfer your file on these grounds.
Only with valid and reasonable cases they will do the file transfer, like if you cancel your visa and go back to your home country.

Otherwise forget it, even at this stage it doesn't make any sense to do that, who knows may be next week you will get MR, if you do so file transfer your file goes back in que in manilla office.

Brother its not up to You...The rule is - If u r staying on ur current country of residence over 1 year, Ur Local VO will be on corresponding area's dedicated Visa office. So if u r staying on Saudi over a year then its not possible as per CIC guideline.

But for SGVO Filipino nationality applicants, they are lucky enough!....SGVO himself transferring their files locally to Manila, may be to reduce their work load.

I hope this will make u understand...

Hi farhan..
yes another CSE by beginning of first week of may 2014 would be ok..but i really pray we get good news in April...
JBZZS recommended to go for gcms which was a very good idea...but my brother thinks v r too excited n v should wait patiently...

i really wish mjane has something good to say..

I already applied for gcms notes which will be available in 3 weeks (i dont know how to kill the time till then ) and times seems stopped completely and not passing at all...

Btw, i order my notes directly. My friend gave me his Canadian address and copy of his pr card and utility bill... So whenever needed i use and order the notes and use my email address for notes delivery )... Btw, i read somewhere on CIC website that we dont need to attach any bill copy or PR copy of our froend or relative if they are currently livinv in Canada... Just need the address and our authorization forms... Fill online request, use ur Credit card and submut....
