November 2012 Applicants Unite!

[m_and_m]

It really sucks, and your not alone. We are also waiting, waiting, waiting & we also applied early Nov. Atleast your in America and can visit your Husband. I am in Australia and havent seen my husband for 5 months. I think its best to be patient, you have tried emailing and ringing with no results and it seems your really stressing yourself out. If you havent anything by the end of the month, then give them some herbs and shake up again, thats our plan. Approval dates are all over the place and I think we just have to accept that we are some of the unlucky ones at the moment for sponsor approval. Its not fair but its just the way it is. We are at the mercy of immigration workers, so maybe just take a breath and chill. Your approval will come, its just a matter of time. Good luck to you Bscinto92, i feel your pain. xx

You're so right...we are some of the unlucky ones for sure. Now they're processing Nov 9th and my husband called CIC, still not done with ours Sooo...I don't know what to do anymore, hope they give us some information soon. And I hope bscinto92 (and every one else) gets news aswell!

Oh and Ms Malawi, congratulations!! I'm happy you got your approval and it was sweet of you to think of those of us who are still waiting, it made me feel better so thanks

Thanks! I have learned as November applicants we are all in it together! Though some of us have to wait so much longer than others! I am not looking forward to the potential next 27 months in Pretoria.. but I know in that time some will land and some will have interviews. So ya.. we are in it together!!!

So come on Mississagua... Catch up to your website and give those applicants from early November some good news!!! And for everyone else in November!!!!! I wanna make everyone who does not have a color blue on the spreadsheet!!

Hey everyone,

And the waiting continues. Sheik, also on the site although I am not sure whether he has joined the November 2012 applicants thread (he applied 3rd November) just got a passport submission request from CIC Nairobi. I wish the same speedy processing would apply to all of us :'(. In the mean time I am turning into a status update junkie. I keep checking whether CIC has updated even when I know they are not working (like on weekends) :. And I don't even like weekends that much anymore because it means CIC is not working. This process can easily drive anyone crazy.

Can't wait till this thread is brimming with good news. And for the guys still waiting for sponsor approval we are keeping fingers crossed for you. I know how desperately we all just want something to raise our hope. Hold in there. It will be well.

All the best to all of us!

Ciao !

Im also a November applicant,and have been reading the posts,so I decided that it was so nice to be waiting on pins and needles with others than alone!


Our application arrived on November 27th
They sent us the sponsorship approval on December 7th

And now we are waiting for the next notification,which hopefully will be soon.
We have friends who received their passport request less than 2 months after their approval!
I must say that we have gone through visa requests in 2 other countries in the past,they weren't quite this labor intensive!

Hi Libellula,

Welcome. Would you like to be added to the spreadsheet? Please let me know when your medicals were done and what VO. Thanks and good luck!

Congrats Shronak!

I will update the spreadsheet tonight

 

[libellula]

Hello Shronak!

Medical done: November 23rd
Application received: November 27th
Approvedecember 7th
VO: Not sure? We asked for the Seattle office but it is probably Ottowa??
From what I have read they are the co-pilot and Seattle would be for the interview and or the final paperwork?

Originally we were supposed to go thru Italy because we live there but as an American citizen I figured it would be faster to process it thru the states.
Now Im seeing that Ottowa is backed up from closing Buffalo etc....
Lets hope that it doesnt slow things down too much!

Just wanted to share an observation.
I noticed that in Nov none of the New Delhi applicants have got any approvals. There is one in Dec spreadsheet who got it but then December one's have been a bit luckier

So is it that Mississauga holds on to the files for busy VO's before approving them as they would sit in a pile in Delhi as well. I know from forums here a lot of June applicants and after still havent got their Visa's.

Any comments on this

Could be. Maybe ND VO tells them to stop sending apps when they run out of room to dump our files

As for early November apps... I know it's very small sample size, but seems weird that they haven't gotten through those yet.

Hello Karan,

I had the similar idea too yesterday, I hope Delhi Office start processing it faster if they are the ones that holding the line...

I must say, as of now, waiting for the wife, and living without her is the hardest part of all...the Loneliness is very torturing, specially when you been just back from Delhi after spending quality month with the family and wifey! and hoping at least by now the first stage would be completed...

Well, better late then never, and patience is something we have to hold on to!
