Yes. Passport was requested in June, and it has stayed at "in process" until today.
Looking forward to receiving it soon :D

Thanks everyone!

My timeline: Filed app: dec 2014, file was transferred to niarobi in March 2015, Status changed to in-process about 2 weeks ago.
I really have to question this whole processing status. I notice some applicant were in processes in ages . Usually when an agent actually
opens an application it shouldn't take more than 3 month maximum to process and finalize unless there's something seriously wrong.
I know it's sometimes difficult to work with so many applications but i really think cic can do way better job than this.

My Ecas finally says "Decision Made". I hope to get passport back soon.

I think Nairobi is starting to work hard on the applications! Good news is coming for us all! :D
Congratulation Awmf2014 . We all want to hear the good news

VO did not confirm receipt of medicals, but MP's office confirmed that for me last week.

They have stopped replying to my emails, but there's not much else for me to ask. I just have to be patient a little while longer

@Awmf2014, Congratulations. I have seen several applicants residing in Canada talk of how the MP's office helped. Can you clarify how the office is able to assist, and does it only assist citizen's who are principal applicants themselves or can it assist a citizen who's relative is applying as let's say an FSW?

Thanks.

@ ohcanada15 Yes, Express Entry does help in expediting the process between application received and the time it is transferred from Canada to Nairobi VO for background and security check. After that it seems to slow back down. Not sure why this happens.

If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen or PR residing in Canada, you can contact the relevant local MP for assistance.

Each MP's office is different. Some wait until the processing time for the VO has passed (i.e for Nairobi that would be 20 months), but others are glad to help provide information on the status of the application when the applicant/ sponsor would like more information. In my case, the MP's office has been very kind to look into my file when I was not getting a reply from the VO. It couldn't hurt to try, but don't expect them all to be helpful.

Awmf, once Nairobi received your passport, how long did it take for them to say "decision made" and stamp your passport?
