thanks visu

sorry that you feel depressed...I understand what you are going through and it is tough...there are things that you can control (eating, sleeping, to work or not) and things beyond your control (next door old neighbor with hearing problems blasting his TV; evil mother-in-law's behavior in TV serials; NDVO processing files). So, just wait it out and things will get better soon. If you develop wrinkles then your hubby would have difficult time to recognize you when he meets you in person (which will be soon). And you don't want that to happen at the airport when you come out through the exit door and he greets, by mistake, someone else who looks like you without wrinkles..best revenge in life is to live it up fully so that others would get jealous of you...my two rupees or two cents or twoonies worth of advice

LOVE UR RESPONSE !! Lol

Privacy Act applies when you are requesting details regarding yourself, like you own PR application, Visa application and so on. And there is no cost for it. Privacy Act can be used by Canadian residents only, need to send proof to ATIP office.

Access to Information act applies when you are requesting details from an office outside of Canada and also if you are requesting details on someone else, like your spouse. This costs $5.

That is what I know.

Ok ! But first time I applied for notes on my hubby's application it was done under privacy act! And ur right I didn't have to pay 5$ and 3 weeks later received the GCMS notes about his file -38 pages
Now I applied again under the FOI act , hmmm let's see ?

congrats ....it only took you 7 -8 emails/phone calls to change your address...will this news qualify for an 'OMG' moment? we are down to a level where any itsy bitsy news from NDVO (like I saw them going to work/I saw a ND visa officer at a chai stall outside consulate) would be a 'OMG' moment

Myrah I have some questions and I think you can answer them.. NDVO was on strike for how long which months?? Its going to be almost 3 months that my passport is with NDVO.. Can they keep my passport like this for how long?? There has to be a num er of days that they can keep my passport and before that they have to give the visa and send it back.. I travel alot and now I can't as I dont have my passport but thats fine.. My lawyer has sent extra documents like pictures air tickets visas as me and my wife travelled together even though the NDVO did not ask for any additional documents still we had send it just to make our case more strong.. I hope that wont be a problem.. Some people say that they have hired people to process applications faster but I dont see that happening.. Some also say that they should process all the applicants of this year within this year but I dont think that can happen.. I really dont understand how long do we need to wait.. I know I have asked you alot if questions here so take your time ans answer them all.. sorry for the trouble lol..!!

strike started around april and end September it ended......so approx. 6 months ......no harm is sending more proof of your relationship to them some forum members have done it....whats happening in ndvo only those guys know...have they hired more ppl? how many are working? are they working? well till may they were to complete full backlog by December...lets wait and see what happens....we have another month in hand........just dreading the Christmas holidays hope they don't go on a break again....officially they have 25th and 26th as holidays in dec....
hope this weekend is a blast if not for sure Monday is goin to be filled with OMG's on this forum ;D ;D ;D

lol....looking at the Myrah's spreadsheet, there was one person NHMirza whose application was received on May 15th....status in ecas was changed to 'in process' on 8th Nov but passport was requested on Nov 26th..unless this person missed the email request, it is interesting to note that 'in process' happened first followed by 'passport' request..I thought NDVO would start 'in process' only after receiving passport..learn lot new stuff everyday except where the hell is my passport request...I guess you are next in line for status change

Actually, Im an NRI. I had sent my passport in earlier on July 17th. NDVO kept my passport from July till October after which I asked for it back as my passport is my only form of ID as an NRI in a foreign country. So NDVO sent my passport back to me and called for it back for a second time on Nov 19th after my file went in to 'In Process' on Nov 8th.

thanks for the clarification..I knew there must something more to it than just looking at the date and scratching my head...they should not be asking for passport so early in the process and put people in despair with the passport getting stuck in the NDVO hellhole
