NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[ja_007]

Hi Myrah7 I've sent you a new pm, please check and reply. Thanks.

 

[anupam]

they anyways told u to submit it before jan 20th right.......so submit it after your trip in fact next day once u are back......fact is u don't have medicals updated as yet so 3 weeks cld be risky...cant assure that u will get your pp bk in hand...its your call now

I was thinking the same....might as well enjoy the trip and submit by sending through speed post as they will have it by January 20th as they requested. I think they would be processing is still and only delay I think would happen if your file gets ready to get stamped and they don't have the passport with them....

I am in even bigger soup than I had imagined... Just got off the call from my lawyer and came to know that shipping passports In and OUT of India is illegal (Customs may confiscate it they say even if one tries that)....

I really got pissed off and asked them then why the hell was I never told about this...

Their solution is to send it through friend (or) travel by myself (or) get the case transfered to Ottawa(complicated and casuses delays as per them)

Totally clueless.....

Friends if anyone has any suggestions lemme know.....

Hello,

My husband had a possibility to work outside India (in a country where the delay was longer than India) just before we submit our application. I called Cic to know from where we have to apply, they told me he can apply from India but he has to be ready anytime to fly back to India for an interview or for his passport submission. If he's not ready to fly back than he should apply from the country he's residing.
So what I see in your case as you choose to apply from India instead of applying from USA is to fly back to India with your passport. Unfortunately this will have consequences on your job in US. It is unfortunate but anyway sooner or later you will have to leave that job to land in Canada. Once they give you the entry visa to Canada you have only a limited amount of time to land and if I'm not mistaken you then have to wait for your PR card before being able to travel again.

Sending your passport with a friend is an option but extremely risky! One applicant in 2012 forum couldn't attend their interview due to the fact that his passport was in Delhi and they were in Vancouver, NDVO never reply to them when they request to have the passport back to attend the interview. Who knows what will happen with their application now! It is very sad! If I was you I wouldn't compromise my chance to get my Canadian PR and be with my wife just to keep a job in a different country. I know sometimes it is difficult to make such important decision mainly if this can affect our career, but this is a gambling game and you have to decide what you're ready to gamble with.
Best of luck in your decision and for the rest of the process!
Take care!

I think I saw in this forum. I think it is valid as a secure mail to an embassy. So it is fine if you send a secured mail to the embassy. Where are you based out of?

It is disheartnening to see no updates today at all.

Apparently all MPs are at the Parliament for session. So I called the office to get an appointment when MP is back, but no reply. Guess have to give them a visit personally, so much for paying taxes!

I live and work in USA on H1B visa. But as I am an Indian citizen I had to submit it to NDVO only for Canadian PR.

I am not eligible to apply in USA since I am not a permanent resident here.

I mentioned that many times on this forum to find out if there are similar members to share their xp.

Well now my lawyer says passports cannot be shipped to India.....

Never I knew this thing...

Wish Indian consulates in foriegn countries are allowed to do this Passport shipping thing.. But it isn't so..

Have been searching all over the net but there is no way out I guess other than

It has to be myself or by a friend.. Lets see

Yes it is tough I understand. Not to dig the past but unless it is different for family sponsorship apps, any applicant who is legally allowed into any country with one year validity visa can apply inside that country.

Hopefully you will find a friend who can deliver it for you.

Thanks,

Ask ndvo for the last request of your passport and tell them situation and you personally go submit and get it stamped and go back to us ..

It is dangerous to stay in other country with out pasport and other thing if ndvo calls for interview how can u land in india with out passport

Hi Myrah,

Today I got call from NDVO from 911141782000.

they told me they send me letter on 12th November.

I said that I didn't get it.

they are asking for 1. divorce certy
2. divorce petition
3.divorce judgement.

I all ready submitted divorce certy along with application.

they told once they will get this document after that they will start processing on my application.


i forgot to put my E-mail address in my address that's why this thing happen and i didn't get letter sent by them by post.

Hi wwf, I would also suggest to send through email and courier. And it's best to send the documents as soon as possible. Good luck.

Hi Robin, it is really unfortunate that you are in this situation.. And now you can't enjoy your holidays because you will be stressed about your situation.
On the plus side and most likely, you won't be called for an interview because you are already in IP. But I would still suggest that you personally go back to India and submit the passport. Because, what if they want you to pick it up form NDVO? And how will you get it back if it can't be couriered and they mail it to your address in India?
Your employer should already know about your PR application so they should also understand that you will need extended leave or to quit your job. Hope everything works out for you.

Sorry.....My file was sent to NDVO on Jan 18th 2013. I was application received till yesterday and then directly Decision Made. (no IP).

Ok, thanks! And congrats once again!
