Hi All,

I am an Indian working in Kuwait.

1. I wanted to know for sure if I can select New Delhi Visa Office as opposed to Abu Dhabi. I dont prefer Abu Dhabi because the current processing time is approx 22 months.

2. I noticed that New Delhi Visa Office ask for Passport within 2-3 months of applying. I wanted to know if I can send the passport towards the end when the visa office is ready to issue the visa. (One of the forum members: Raman Kaur did mention that I can but want to know how long can I delay sending the passport and will it have any effect on my application)

Experts please chip in with your comments.

Thanks!

thanks myrah.
i got the letter of sponsorship approval, but how do you get the fixed date of file transfer as mentioned in your timeline?

how long does it take get the updates you mentioned? so that i dont start banging my head on ecas till then.
yes so that's the letter of transfer .......u don't get a date....but it takes 2-3 weeks to come to new delhi ....so next step for u is passport request (ppr) can take 1 week to 2 months

1. I wanted to know for sure if I can select New Delhi Visa Office as opposed to Abu Dhabi. I dont prefer Abu Dhabi because the current processing time is approx 22 months. - depends how long have u been working in Kuwait?

2. I noticed that New Delhi Visa Office ask for Passport within 2-3 months of applying. I wanted to know if I can send the passport towards the end when the visa office is ready to issue the visa. (One of the forum members: Raman Kaur did mention that I can but want to know how long can I delay sending the passport and will it have any effect on my application) - yes new delhi asks for pp very early and u can sent it later towards the end but u will have to wait for new delhi to send u the 2nd passport request towards the end of application and it might delay your application 1-2 months more

Experts please chip in with your comments.

Thanks!

Thanks Myrah for the quick reply.

I started working here last month. I was not aware of the timelines otherwise I would have not taken this assignment :( I will be marrying this December so it will be actually three years from now that I will get my PR if I apply through Abu Dhabi and I dont want that.

VFS status says "Passport is in transit" to Kathmandu. Hope i don't have to face similar betrayal like last time from NDVO.
PS: ecas still "in process" and MP said all assessments passed. I called MP today also to make confirmation of assessments passed. He said "yes passed"....Crossing my fingers, legs, hands :D

Thanks! :) Yea its a long way to go. We have already stayed apart for two years and now three more years to go ! and I cant see that happening. Had my fiance been a citizen it would have been fine as she would have stayed with me but she is still on a PR so we cant stay together also! Its already burning me out! :-\

GCMS NOTES - are essentially all the notes that the visa officer will have on your file basically they tell u whats passed, if your interview is waived or recommended, when was your file last touched, what was the last location of your file etc.......it take 30 days to generate but its all worth the waiting see the link below how to order


well they are still in may applicant and only 1 person from june got in process on this forum.....u can have a look at the spread sheet below my signature...it will help u to know the processing of 2013 :)
Thanks Myrah7 for the information.

Are you aware how do they change the status from TRP to PR. As my child is already in Canada what happens for the Passport request to be submitted to New Delhi?

I just applied for the GCMS notes online today Jan 17-2014 .

if you started working in kuwait for one month you are not eligible for application through Abudhabhi you should be legally resident one year before the application. In your case ND is only option as per my knowledge

There are people who applied for child sponsorships from canada as outland after child is here in TRP. But they applied through ottawa and most of them are US residents.I saw them in one of the threads here . In your case since it already sent to delhi only way is either one of you take child to india and submit passport

or send only passport through friend to india and post it from there and arrange some one to bring back once visa is stamped.NDVO will not reply if it is under processing times even its for a kid
