NEW DELHI - 2015 APPLICANTS

[aroundwrd99]

Hi,

My wife posted the applikation from canada in October 8 2014 and the filé was transferred to New Delhi on December 4 2014 and I finished the medical in December 21 2014 aswell....submitted the rest of the docs in jan 2015....my question is from which day the processing time calculated

The day your file arrived in CIC Delhi. Then you can start counting the months. It takes between 9 to 13 months

 

[aroundwrd99]

My application is in process since Nov 28, 2014...Any idea when should i expect an update..

it takes 9 to 13 months once CIC received the application.

 

[Arvind12]

It should be 60 days for you then.

I think it will depends on current processing time . I submitted on Dec 12 and cic received it on Dec 18 , it was 60 days around that time. But now its 85 days . CIC site shows, they are currently processing October 27 weeks file. SO it should be plus or minus 5 days from cic processing time. It wont get processed in 60 days

 

[Shars15]

NO, I did not ... not even reception of the file ..that's why I am worried ...

i sent mine Novemeber 19 and they still advent opened mine so expect yours to be opened maybe end of march

Hi everyone!

first of all congrats getting your files completed and sent. I wish I could say the same about my application.

I am new to this website and am having some trouble with my application. I am a canadian Citizen who is looking to sponsor my husband in India. Our marriage is an arranged marriage however we have been talking for a little under a year before our marriage. the first and only time I met him was when I went to India to marry him. My trip to India was only 4 weeks (this was all my work would approve without me quitting my job). so 2 weeks before the wedding to shop and prepare and 2 weeks after the wedding to spend time with my husband. Due to the short time we did not really go anywhere for a honeymoon however we did spend a few nights at hotels when we were travelling far from home and I have lots of picture from our date nights. unfortunately I am unable to travel back to India anytime soon without the risk of losing my job. other people have suggested that he applies for a visitors visa to come see me.

My questions are:

1. If we apply for a visitors visa and it rejects will this effect the sponsorship application?
2. has anyone else gone through a similar experience like mine?
3. do you think if i provide enough proof of relationship my application will reject or we will be called for an interview?

PLEASE HELP!!!!! what can I do to make my file stronger.

First off congrats on your wedding..

Is it suggested people apply for visit visa after applying for PR - generally after getting sponsor approval , since its hard (not impossible) to get a visit visa for a spouse. A spouse applying for visit visa and being rejected is high which will cause a red flag for the PR process (though not the end of the world)

Though we are technically arranged (we are family friends and have know each other since kids and grew up together; started liking each other) our parents got us arranged with our initiation. The visa office in Delhi and the visa officer knows its sometimes the norm in India for a marriage to be arranged. In your case you will provide relationship proof for the times you were in contact after the engagement (call logs, chat logs, general and engagement photos); rely heavily on the wedding relationship proof and post wedding proof.

You case wont be rejected because it was an arranged marriage with enough proof.

We showed our engagement photos, post engagement relationship proof, the wedding photos, honeymoon and post wedding photos. We have got SA and waiting for next stage.

Hope that helps

Yes, you can plan... its better if you apply after submission of your wife case for PR.

Chances are low for approval but you can still apply. (You never know).

No, it will not effect on your spousal case.

2. has anyone else gone through a similar experience like mine?

Yes, I will also suggest you to carry your marriage certificate from the temple or Gurudwara as well plus, a marriage certificate from the court. It was a good idea to invite your spouse's parents at the time of your marriage (if they are in India). Make sure you guys take lots of marriage pictures. (This is what they want to see).

3. do you think if i provide enough proof of relationship my application will reject or we will be called for an interview?

Yes, they can call anyone...usually they call when they are not able to take a decision on documents. .... and they want to verify a few things.

Looks likse CIC starting to Process application received in June and some July now. Good trend am seeing now is passports are getting stamped with in 7 days . Few months back it was different, CIC gets the passport and take really a month just to stamp it. Hopefully things gets fast we hope we will get process within 9 months..
