I was recently asked to provide proof of parentship and communication for one of my dependent children but not the other

is this normal? Do they always ask this?
They can ask anything they want. Just submit whatever they ask ASAP

Hi everone.
My overseas dependant sent his requested documents to Ankara visa office via email on December 22.
He has done biometric on December 14 and also medical examiation on December 18.
Does any of you or your dependants application being procesed in Ankara office?
Do you have any idea what will happen next and what should I expect now?
Is there any interview?
How long does it take to pass the steps and get passport request based on your previous experiences in Ankara Visa Office?

Ps: we can check overseas application status only throgh ECAS and we can not still link it to gc key accout .

You can link your dependants application, but i am not sure how

What a long delay!
So there is no hope that they will be heard soon.
Didn't they confirm that they have received your documents at least?
-There was another guy at the group with the same timeline , I think He is also waiting.
-They requested me documents via email, so they might reached them. I got an automatic mail reply.
Processing is really too slow.

We all have no choice among this long boring path, except being patient. Hope everything goes well for all.

More phone call history after you submitted your application. Recent photos of being together if any. If you or her sent any money. Any emails or letters between you new ones etc

If you have been communicating via WhatsApp, you need to get the chat history , just export it out and send it via the method they asked for.

How long was the wait eventually? What stages have you passed?

Thanks for your response, this is the third time since last year January that they have been asking for additional information. I submitted in Oct 2019, no response until January 2021 and there were five succeeding correspondence between January and March 8th. In October 2021 when I didn't hear anything from them about the last request I submitted, they came up with the claims that they didn't receive my additional information that I should resend. I did immediately and in Oct 27th they responded that they have received and my file updated. But I have not stopped writing to know the status of my application since then. My last enquiry letter was on the 6th January and on the 10th of January, they
sent another request demanding for communication and support between me and my spouse. This communication request has always been there and I have been sending WhatsApp chats, email correspondence, even the chats between me and my Children. I suspect that the main request here is the support which I will have to upload the funds transfer between us in the last 4years . I hope this will be the last request so that I will know the next stage.

I wouldn't assume to know how traumatic this experience has been for you and your family. I do hope your application now gets the attention it warrants as Accra office has been sitting on it for far too long.

Your application having passed the normal estimated processing period entitles you to raising an exception. Use their regular email and the webform. Make it known to them how long this application has been on for and why you need it addressed as urgent.

My advice as always been to send requested documents via paper mail(post)(yes, i know it is not cheap, but it is hard to deny receipt, since it is trackable), or send more copies via webform if there is no acknowledgement of your webform submissions after a couple of weeks. Send again and again. Till they acknowledge.

Best of luck mate.
Do get them those documents asap. Seems once an application misses its scheduled overview date, it starts to gather dust in some underground alcove beneath those IRCC offices.
