Thank you scorpionking and april_19.
I wish everybody will get his or her visa soon.
Dont worry friends it takes time but definately if ur case is genuine you will get the visa.
I applied in March 2012, sponsership approval in June and got AOR with PPR in July. However that time i was travelling so submitted my passport in late sept. after my case went into process.
I also contacted MP (not of my area).
One more thing i want to share with u.. It is right that getting a tourist visa is difficult after u apply for PR but it is not impossible. Only thing u need to prove that you will come back to india for sure after specified period or before visa expires which ever is earlier. Like u have some job committments or some other issues
I got visitor visa after applying for PR. but i fulfill my promise and i came back after a specified period which i promised at the time of applying visitor visa.
So i wish good luck to all those who are waiting to meet their soulmate
I can understand your feelings very well because in my case it took 9 months.
never loose your hope
God bless
