As we know life brings all of concoction that we can imagine. One such thing is happening to me now. Just as I submitted my passports to ND VO on 29 March 2011, for the final decision i.e. Visa stamp, I encountered another opportunity however brief will prove good to my opportunity. I have received an training program offer abroad. However, short term it may be it would be very beneficial to me moving forward to Canada. But since my passports are at ND VO, there is no getting that chance. An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost. So guys I need your advice on this. Should I contact ND VO and request them to send my passports only or is it possible that we request them to expedite processing, or should I leave this opportunity and just concentrate on going to Canada. Has anyone else had the same circumstance. Please let me know your good thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance.
Hi nitroxn,
Don't leave this opportunity. People who are already abroad when they are requested for a PPR also take the risk of taking the leaves and coming all the way to India to get the VISA. Just draft a letter, mentioning the dates of travel. Also:
1) A letter from the compnay giving you the opportunity to travel abroad.
2) Mention the VISA type (like business,etc.) that will be affixed on your PP from the other country's embassy.
3) Since i have gone through this, there is also a letter that the company has to provide to the consulate requesting them to issuse the required VISA to you and that they shall bear all the costs for stay and travel. Send this letter as well.
4) If you going from one of the sister concerns of your existing company or of it's foreign affiliates, ensure that your complete name is mentioned on the letter (since generally they issue the letters stating the name as "MR SURNAME".
Get all these Notarized. Also, any letter issued must have the PP no. on it and the address where they are going to provide you the accomodation. You may take a print of any email of relevant importance and send it (don't notarize this and this MAY make your case a bit more stronger)
Courier these, send an email wit the attachment, send a case specific query attaching all these and if possible (i don't know if this is correct) fax them as well.
Just go ahead. A bird in hand is better then 2 in the bush. No harm in atleast trying. I don't think this shall make any adverse impact. I have myself done this and awaiting the outcome. I have seen this happen with the desired outcome as well.
