Below is the response I got from my MP today morning:

CASE STATUS: This application is currently awaiting initial review by a visa officer, following which we will contact the applicant directly to advise of any additional information or action required.

this is very bad, if they are still doing initial review in my case.

I was expecting something better...any one here got similar response??

hey that's pathetic.......but again don't loose hope roam....coz from initial review to dm doesn't take too much time....if they want they can do it within 1 week.....u are feb applicant u shld be hearing good news very soon now....sorry but some mp's are really lazy .... to tell u the truth !! hope u get your visa very very soon !!

Look at my timeline, its very similar to mine. Likewise i didn't receive my passport request in march. But I received a call from NDVO on Aug 6. I check my mail 10 times daily, i will not miss it. I think NDVO made a mistake in their mailing system. I applied for GCMS notes and found out that they have fail to notify me to send the passport. I'm still waiting. No news yet!!!

Hey ankgs!! Any updates?? When will they pick up our files??

Hey guys.. MP from which province did you contact in Canada??

 

[Gsingh88]

Well it clearly says in the application package that they need pcc for countries where applicant lived more than 6 months... Then why u wanna wait... But yea its upto you...

Ya i knw. Only thing i am not sure abt is if there is anything bad in me sending canadian pcc to ndvo now without them asking for it.
And other thing i read on rcmp website, they will need my wife's fingerprints from india on this certain form signed my police official from india. I am not even sure if police will take fingerprints and confirm it for third party.
I am confused noww !!
Does anyone had to go through this ? Any suggestions ?

my M.P. assistant said the same but with a gentle warning not to contact them until Dec 2013....if Feb applicant's application is under review, not sure when May applicant's application would be processed....don't despair there are cases where applicant application turned into decision made in no time (some cases the ecas status was still application received even after people received their visas). Someone will get a nobel prize if they find out a mathematical equation for estimating visa approval..something like evt=vom+aplk where evt is for estimated visa time = visa officer's mood + applicant's luck.

Seriously... Atleast they can follow this equation. Will be helpful for us to atleast calculate something for us to give peace of mind, instead of just waiting in the dark.


On a second thought: i love your sense of humour!! Cheers

Hey Everyone,

Just thought this might come in handy...

While reading through the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Manual on Processing Members of the Family Class, I came across the following:

5.6. Processing priorities
Applications for permanent residence from spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children have the highest priority, along with children to be adopted. Other members of the family class follow. These are operational, not regulatory priorities. The Department aims to process 80% of sponsorship and permanent residence applications submitted on behalf of the high-priority group of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children within six months.

5.7. Non-routine cases
While every effort should be made to process high-priority cases expeditiously, it is recognized that there are circumstances where priority processing may legitimately be affected.

In an effort to aid analysis and identification of non-routine cases, the Work In Progress (WIP) event structure in CAIPS should be used by visa offices to flag non-routine cases. Visa offices may enter the following WIP events to identify a file that is non-routine and therefore might be processed outside of the six-month service standard. The WIP events are:
• Background check delay
• Medical delay
• Criminality delay
• Other delay

One or more of these WIP events may be entered when the cause of a possible delay is identified.

When you go to your MP's, you can quote this and ask them why is it taking so long...?

 

[LM86]

Well there is a formula for calculating the visa time processing


It is NDVO visa processing officers = PAFSO

PAFSO=God knows where they keeping our files may be in a safe locker in a bank where they dont want even a single paper to be misplaced with the file.

and if u wana really knw wht they are doing with ur files make a webpage on facebook or twitter for pafso and start praying these people may be they will listen to ur prayers.

And start offering them some of the things and they will tell u whts going with ur files... :-* :-* :-* :-*

hi

I am not sure if this is true or not...cos when I applied for GCMS notes, I came to know my file was last touched in July and see as interview waver recommended and now these guys are saying waiting for initial review. I guess they give standard answer to every one.
