Hello All,
Need some opinions.....
My application has completed 9 months from the date of sending the passport to the CHC-New Delhi,
The 10 month maximum period of processing my visa, as advertised on the CHC website, will get over by
May 13th 2013.
Time Frame:
My application was filed on March 29th 2012,
Sponsorship was approved on June 29th 2012,
Got Passport request on July 13th 2012,
Passport reached the CHC New Delhi on July 19th 2012.
Medicals and Police certificate were pre-submitted at the time of filing the application.
No communication thereafter until February 2013,
Got request for re-doing Medicals and Police certificate on February 23rd 2013, since the previous ones
expired.(valid for 1yr only), Passport was also sent along with the request.
Resent the package - passport, proof of medical completion, police certificate on March 14th 2013,
Package was delivered on March 15th 2013.
thats it, its been over a month, nothing still.
ecas shows: - In Process
"We received your application for permanent residence on March 29, 2012.
We started processing your application on February 22, 2013.
Medical results have been received."
we got our GCMS notes on Feb 6th 2013 (before getting the request for redoing the medicals and others), notes imply, eligibility and criminality has not been started yet, rest OK ,
the notes also mentions that my husband had sponsored his parents too, they were sponsored a year or before our marriage, but their sponsorship's were rejected on July 2012.
Now, I'm getting impatient with less than a month left for the 10-month time frame to get over,
as i see, there are 3 options left:
1. Contacting the MP.
2. Contacting (Visiting) the Canadian Embassy - New Delhi in Person.
3. Ordering for the New GCMS notes again - 5$ (takes 30 days)
Now my husband is bit hesitant / not hopeful in contacting the MP, fearing it might cause more delay,
please let me know if its true.
also if there are any other options other than waiting,
I'm not sure, if they would stamp the visa in 20 days (from today) or have already done it or in process of doing it.
I seriously want to get a solution to this, had enough of waiting.
Does sponsoring more than 1 member of the family, at same instances, might be the reason for delay?
or it is a reasonable time frame for normal applications.
Replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and Best Wishes to All.
For those who remember me n those who don't we were requested for more docs after the interview in Jan... We sent the additional docs around mid March n the file went In process last week.... IS IT A GOOD SIGN???
