**** MAY 2010 APPLICANTS ****

[SandR]

Hi all,

We just posted our full docs today to the visa office (special delivery with insurance) - will let you know when it is received by VO. We checked our application maybe a dozen times before sending but I guess you can't spot every mistake. Application weighed just over 1kg. Decided in the end just to secure documents with a big elastic band in checklist order. They probably just stick it in their own folders once received anyway.

Glad to get it out - will be a relief when it's updated as received on their website.

Took a big effort to get all the documents and notarising was very expensive. Only received the last employer reference today after three weeks of repeated chasing. Took three trips to two different photographers to get the right picture sizes! All in all it has taken two months to collate everything at some cost to ourselves.

@ Jamesah - it's a real pain to get employer references that comply with rules - we just did the best we could. When we requested reference, we bullet pointed the visa checklist requirements. But there's only so much pressure you can apply to previous employers, especially as you no longer work there.

@IndianaJones (cool name btw) - Yes - it's a good milestone to reach the 100th page - the April applicants are on page 270!

Guys,

I have good news for those who are trying to call CIO to get info on their application. You can now call free to any number in US and Canada using google voice directly from your gmail inbox.

I just tried it and it connects to CIO.

CIC charged my credit card for the sum of $1,250 CAD on August 5, 2010. I believe this charge was in reference to the processing of my application.

There is a proverb in American English which says:
"Be careful what you wish for, you might get it."

In any event, I am confident the CIO will issue your immigration file number in the month of August 2010.

updated SandR status - full docs sent to VO.

 

[Tegnus]

Thanks Tegnus - best of luck sending yours in. Then the ball is in their court. ;D

I'm planing to send mine on Tuesday. There is still one reference letter to collect, which my current employer sent for translation - it haven't arrived back jet. All other documents will be translated and notarized on Tuesday. It's not a cheap thing any way...

P.S. This is my post # 100 8)

hello pinoy! it's good to know I have a fellow pinoy in the same time line. My cc was also charged last august 6 but no AOR yet. It's ok. I think CIO is trying to finish first charging cc's and encashing dd's of all applicants prior to the June 26 changes. Perhaps after that, they would release AORs in batches. That is just my personal assumption.

Regarding our status, after they charged our cc, I think AOR should follow as I have observed with the other applicants. Although, according to others in here, there were very minimal cases wherein the application was still rejected even though the cc was already charged. I hope it will not happen to us.

Are you done collecting all your documents? Where you staying- manila or other country?

hi tegnus! regarding our photocopied documents, do we have to certify all as true copies?

 

[kingkinggao]

Am in US and I have sent my Application on April 30, 2010 and it reached Sydney office in a weeks time. I came to know on July 28th CIC has charged $1210 CAD on my credit card but I have never got any acknowledgment of the application or reference number till now. What should I do next? I sent few emails to buffalo immigration and they told me since it is been processed at CIC office they have no information about my application.

As I know some guys who filed on Apri 30 did not get their AOR yet although their cc was charged already. So I propose be patient, you will get your AOR soon.
