Call this number 91 (11) 4178-2000, then dial 0 to speak to a person. then ask them this info. they will only answer short general question and not about file so be careful on what you ask. in my case i personally flew to NDVO and spoke to the person at the visa office window.

Oh thanks a lot!!! the number is for real? i thought they dont have a phone number. but if they dont entertain calls regarding files, not use anyways... i will give it a try and see what i can get. thanks!

MP is Member of Parliament for your are/riding. If you didnt use a lawyer, you did the right things, according to me. Whats your timeline?

thanks! and wow!!! thats really quick! PP requested in almost exactly a month from application is really good. for me it took 1 month for sponsorship and 1 month for another month before they asked for passport. good luck and all the best!!!

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 ?

Waiting2EX.. why wait.. lets do it now..
i most lovingly and humbly thank my darling wife for supporting me wholeheartedly and so maturely during whole this time, i thank her for her patience for not letting the agony overshadow the love and support knowing its not over yet.. but hoping at the same time that it will be over... very soon.. thank you so much dear.. you havent let me down, and i wont too !

good for you...I thank my partner for putting up with my frustrations and giving me hope that this shall too pass soon...to everyone who are going through lots of pain and frustrations this too shall pass and once you get your shiny visa, you look back and soon forget about all the pain that you went through

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
