ONLY - Who submitted CIC-AINP(SRS-U.S. Visa Holder Category) application

[hsetin]

SO I got my Med request in May and I recently submitted my meds, but than tomorrow I got a letter requesting updated FBI PCC. I had already sent my expired FBI PCC with my application, and after submitting the application I had requested another FBI PCC, which I have mailed today.
But the problem is that the PCC I have sent today are also expired. The freaking timeline of CIC and teh delay in FBI are both responsible for this mess.
Lets see what happens. If CIC wants fresh FBI PCC, my application would be delayed by 4 more months. I hope that does not happen.

Hsetin:

To cover your bases perhaps you should apply for another set of FBI PCC right away.

Cheers,

Hi hsetin

On their website CIC has listed "The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application." So I think as long as your FBI PCC was issued 90 days before you sent your initial application to Buffalo, you should be fine.

Thanks Canadien,
My latest certificate was issued in March and that is 2 months after I submitted my application, so I think I should be fine.

Anewhope, I agree with you, but I think I am tired of getting these FBI PCCs. I don't think I am going for it, until unless CIC asks for it.

Fingers crossed :-\

Hey Avi, Congrats! I was waiting to hear from you. Am planning to land on 4th of July too. Ive asked a few qns on landing. Lets see what ppl here tell me...

I received my passports with visa this afternoon. ;D ;D My visa was issued on May 28th. I feeling so releived as it took longer than expected to get my passports back.

Hi, i am H1b and my h1b visa ending soon this year. i have submitted my complete application to cic after nomination.

so seems like only thing left is medicals and then passport stamp for visa.

my question is,

- can i send them medicals now while i am in US before they ask for it.
- also can i apply for canada visa stamp while i am in US.

i feel, once i move to my home country after h1b expire and move my case to home country, the process will be very slow there as compared to US.

what you guys think ? Please suggest.

I dont think you can send the medical before they ask for it.

Hi McLuvin,

My wife was pregnant during the application process. We received medical results. The doctor advised that an X-ray isnt good during pregnancy. He noted it on the medical report. 2 weeks after the birth of the baby, we received a mail from CIC NY asking for 4 things:

1. The pending Xray for my wife.
2. Medical results for our newborn baby
3. Nomination addition of our baby - I called up AINP in Alberta and they added him to the nomination and let the people in CIC-NY know about it.
4. A form (dont remember which) for adding my newborn baby as a dependent.

I did all this - and it added a good 3 months for them to move to the Passport Request stage.

Hope this helps,
G luk to you and your family.

Hi Rajesh, that was good info, thanks!
Just one more question - your visa validity is one year after your & your wife's medical date OR 1 year after your wife's x-ray and your newborn baby's medical test date.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

You can't do medicals before CIC, you need to wait for CIC to send you the medicals forms and instructions and take those with you with the designated doctor.
Another thing is the police clearance, did CIC request that??

 

[MhK]

yes cchabert , i have submitted all PCC/FBI along with app and my money order is also cashed. so waiting for the Medicals.

what about visa stamp ? any idea if they will do the visa stamp for AINP before they ask for my passport ?

One question about FBI PCC.

My FBI timeline is :

FBI received: 04/14/2010
Returned date: 05/28/2010
I received it: 06/04/2010

I sent my fingerprint and my husband's fingerprint to FBI together, but on last Friday I just received my FBI PCC, I haven't my husband's FBI report. Did anyone have this experience about receiving the couple's FBI reports seperately?

Thanks.
