parents sponsership joine here

[sidhuinoslo]

Thanks user828 for your quick reply
In this scenario do you mind suggesting when should we expect her passport request if medicals received by CIC in 26 Nov 2012. Is this time frame normal or we need to worry and should chase up. The reason o am asking is you are in the same boat and have experienced the same recently.
Ecas is APPLICATION RECIEVED , is this normal
Please advise.

I am just keeping tabs on the amount of hiccups and bad luck I can get
Summarize
- Parents are here on Visit Visa
- File is in ND
- Never got bulk email for Docs, Request which they sent on 8th Nov due to wrong email due by 14th March
- Delhi got back to me after numerous emails/MP inquiry
- Delhi didn't ask for all the docs - they only want older activities, current passport and meds and Updated INDIAN POLICE CLEARANCE
- Delhi sends letter to India address dated 28th Jan, received 4th Feb
- Friend scans and emails me letter
- Goto Indian VFS Vancouver on 6th Feb for PCC with request for Indian Consulate to do it faster
- Status shows reached Indian Consulate on 7th

FOUND PERSON WHO READY TO CARRY PASSPORT AND DOCS TO INDIA FLYING ON 12TH FEB

11th Feb - Status on VFS Shows App in Process
12th Feb - PERSON FLIES TO INDIA SO I MISSED IT

FOUND ANOTHER PERSON FLYING ON 24TH FEB READY TO CARRY PASSPORT AND DOCS TO INDIA FLYING ON 24TH FEB


13TH FEB - 18TH FEB - Status on VFS Shows App in Process
- Called Indian Consulate requesting urgency - INDIAN CONSULATE SAYS PCC ALREADY DONE LAST WEEK ??????????
- Called VFS - Indian Call Centre - NO CLUE
- Go personally to VFS Again - Checks COMPUTER - NOT RECEIVED
- I request to confirm with Consulate as they say that they sent it
- 5 Minutes later, opens drawer below him - PCC WITH THEM SINCE 11TH FEB but they blame the other party
**VFS IS CLOSING CANADA SERVICE ON 1ST MARCH**
- So If I would have received on 11th Feb, that person could have taken my passport to India on 12th Feb

NEVER MIND, PERSON GOING ON 24TH - WELL - NOT REALLY, HE IS AWOL SINCE LAST 2 DAYS AND DOESN'T PICK UP PHONE - PROBABLY CHANGED HIS MIND
FOUND FRIEND IN US WHO IS FLYING ON MARCH 1 , SAID NO ISSUE - WILL TAKE DOCS AND PASSPORT
EMAILS ME TODAY, AND REFUSES TO TAKE RISK

So above is my sequence of events, and even the word "BAD LUCK' will be put to shame

I can't take chance to send my courier, DAD HAS 5 PASSPORTS, MOM HAS 3 - VERY GOOD CHANCE, CUSTOMS CAN CATCH IT

Guess - what, buying a $2000 ticket and bloody flying myself next week - just to drop passports

STATUS IN PROCESS
APP RECEIVED
PROCESS STARTED 23RD JAN

See you guys in a bit, am just lost and tired

what risk in carrying documents for someone???? am trying to find out if any family/friend is visiting india in the next few days.

Hi user828 or anyone else in forum: please advise what is the roughly time frame receiving passport, after succesfully submitting the medicals.

Good luck use828 and hope you will sort this out this time, the way you planned visiting India. I think this is the best and only option suits you at this stage.

Sidhu saab, this question has been asked quite a few times in this forum. based on what little information we have, it can range from 1-6 months. then again your mileage may vary based on your case specifics and more importantly your LVO.

 

[guramrit]

sounds like the time they sent back my entire application asking for my mothers pictures when they were already in the envelope. sometimes i just wonder what kind of drugs they are on when they are looking at our files. i mean come on get your act together, putting 2+2 together is not hard.

lost 2 months cause of that idiot.

ya don't know what r they upto . I hav sent medical proof 4 times to CHC ND ... yet no update .. dont know what r they doin . :-\

 

[waiting.....]

Seeing how ND works, I think people are mistaken on how they get files into IN PROCESS
So for eg, if they asked you Additional Docs, Meds and Passport on 28th Nov
You did meds on 4th Dec and sent papers, reached 7th Dec
It doesn't necessarily mean your files starts in Process from 7th Dec
It starts as per their own timeline, considering original app date and the date they received in their office for the 1st time
This stands true, see my case - I havent sent a single paper or meds or pp yet my ecas is IN PROCESS since 23rd Jan with "started your process"

U R VERY RIGHT USER828!! in my case we submitted evrything with passport n med in dec 2011. yet they started processing in may 2012. n in GCMS notes it shows tht 05 May was the first time they opened our file n made any comments.

thats a long wait. didnt you go to your MP?????

any idea why your file is taking this long????

 

[user828]

Well, firstly - I confirmed with Consulate - Passport cannot be sent via courier or with another person ( basically it cannot leave the individual )
It is subjective that if a 3rd person is caught, they claim innocence and say that I have authorization letter but this can truly help if it's a direct family member like son/daughter so a 3rd party might be skeptical

In all probability, its fine as long as you can clear customs but then some don't want the hassle and red mark on their passport

Some folks have sent it by mail with no issues ( took a risk ) , I asked another user here who sent it saying its passport ( 4 of them ) and they reached

Considering my bad luck, I can't imagine mailing it plus the bulk shows with so many passports - if it's a single thin passport them it might just get away but I realized another thing - if you write documents on the mailing package and they found that it's passport then you are basically lying - again, might make it but huge risk

Hi Everyone I have a question about my parents sponsorship
Applied July 2010
Today I saw my cic After a longtime .My Permanent residence status changed from not available to application received. Do you guys know what does that mean?

We applied in May 26, 2010. We have exactly the same situation in our on-line status.

Sponsorship Application Status:
We received your application to sponsor xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx on May 26, 2010.


Permanent Residence Application Status:
We received xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx application for permanent residence on May 26, 2010.

 

[Suin]

Hi siki,

I have applied in 2010 as well. on-line cic services is not working for me as of now, but will let u know on my application status.
Can u please tell me if u have recieved any letter from cic on submittion of new forms for your parents application?

We have not received anything either.

 

[Suin]

Hey no I didn't receive any mail yet. That mwans they are gonna send me more forms lol

Fingers crossed!

 

[Suin]

Now I am confused more .I called Cic about my status changed and he told me that they havent even open my file yet . It changed because its been 3 years and the wanted to let me know that we still have your file in process.Do you guys think that makes any sense lol ?

It does not make any sense. Hope that means they are planning to open our files in the nearest future. If they start new parent sponsorship process in November 2013, it will only delay our cases for much longer period of time.

 

[Suin]

I do not think they will ask you for more documents (since 2010 applicants were already using the new forms, someone correct me if i am wrong) provided all the documents you initially provided were in order and they do not need any more information to determine your eligibility to be a sponsor. once you are approved you will get a letter letting you where you file went.

hope this helps.

How about checking the the sponsor's income? Also I do not think they asked for police certificate that time either.Thanks.
