PLEASE FIND WHICH STAGE IS YOUR APPLICATION AND WHAT TO EXPECT SOON

[Eagle333]

Hello Eagle333,

First of all, thank you for your continues support to so many people in this forum. I am also in a situation where I hope you can help me to understand. I did applied for spousal sponsorship on march 23, 2016 and got SA approval on May 7, 2016. and the file transfer as well as the AOR2 received from NDVO on May 12, 2016. However, on August 09, 2016 I got an email from NDVO with additional document request and I did courier the documents to the NDVO on August 28th which I got confirmation from Fedex that they delivered the documents on September 1, 2016. We havent received any acknowledge letter from the NDVO regarding the receipt of our additional documents, and I did also request for the GCMS notes on August 30, 2016 and no response either. I am bit worried about the process as it seems lots of applicant who applied after me have got their PPR and I am not seeing any progress on my application (searching through my CIC account). I am attaching here below the email received from NDVO for the additional document request for your information:

Dear Sponsor / Applicant,

In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following information and documents:

The above request from VO must be based on my case history, as I was sponsored by my ex-wife and become PR on september 2001 and got divorced on 2005. I was in under depression since and I left Canada on March 2008 because my mother was hospitalized and was in a bad condition. Then on February 2009 I got married in India and me and my wife stayed with my mother. During this time I also travelled to Dubai and invest in some business and stayed 7 years dubai and India. I finally came back to Canada on August 2015, because I was planning to re-establish in Canada with my family. As we have 2 kids (6 year and 3 year) and both our kids got Canadian Citizenship from India (since I am a Canadian Citizen), however, since my kids are too small, I cant take my kids here without mother. And I am sure the additional document request was based on the above situation.

Eagle333, what do you think about my application process at this stage? is it going to be complicated and delaying process? we have given enough proof that our relationship is genuine, as me and my spouse married and stayed together over 6 years, and our kids got the Canadian citizenship (which was also long process to get it from India), and I did submit the judgement order, divorce certificate as well as the complete divorce petition. And the proof of re-establishment documents, such as: Job confirmation letter indication that I am working as full time employee with benefit since December 7, 2015. as well as my part-time job (weekend) letter, plus copies of paystub for both jobs, and rental agreement, passport visa pages showing that my return to Canada since August 2015 (with boarding pass copies) etc. here below is the my CIC status:



Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed Not Started
Final decision Not Started


I am bit disturbed with the process as I really miss my wife and kids here and seeing lots of applications are approved after me which make me confused and worried about my application status. We really appreciate your opinion and advise.

Thanks in advance....

Hello Bashk,

Thank you

leb_angel,

I agree with you on one thing, some visa offices do not know how to communicate with applicants and follow up with that communication. In my spouse case they used to wait for the doctor to forward my wife's results to London RMO, guess what happened? the doctor forgot to submit the results for a period of 6 months. Every time I was requesting information update from CIC they used to respond me that they are waiting for my wife's medical results. Now I did not know that they were expecting the doctor to submit them to RMO first. So one morning I got an email saying that my wife should make a follow up with the doctor about the results. I got so mad that day, I first sent a rough email to the Embassy advising them to be more specific when they say Medical Results are awaiting. I ask them in the future don't use that sentence because if they had told me long time ago that the doctor would have submitted my wife's medical results. Then I called the doctor's office, I yielded at the secretary who transferred me to the doctor, I then yielded at the doctor again and again you have no idea LOL. He realised that he forgot to submit the results and kept apologizing. 2 days after he submitted I tasted CIC with the same status update, they changed the way they used to respond me. They actually emailed me saying:' We are now expecting your wife's medical results from London RMO"

In your case I would ask you to submit your marriage certificate through Case Specific Enquiry then ask them to confirm if they receive this document. I used to email my wife's visa office all the time but they never respond to me but when I discovered Case Specific Enquiry they were responding to me every end of the week.

Yes you're still in 2A) Stage.

Wow 6 months, that's awful. I know to them its a simple error but to us every delay is super stressful. Thanks for the advice I definitely will do that asap but on the case specific enquiry page I did not see a link to attach documents?

I'm nervous to ask them to confirm that they have received my documents especially since they mentioned it 3 times in the email that they sent me they will not confirm or send an acknowledgement of receipt :$ I'm just trying not to make them mad or annoyed because I like most of the people in this forum is at their mercy. My VO seems to be very stern/strict that's the impression I get anyway

Hello Eagle333,

Just to inform you that I receive my GCMS notes today and there is an update showing that the additional document received on 2nd Sept, 2016. however, the note on the end by the Visa officer wrote as ***Additional document request*** and also detailed note after as well. Moreover, on the Eligibility status says: Review Required (this status update date showing August 09, 2016 which is the date they send email with the request of additional document). I am kind of confused with these notes and I know that your are the best person who have done lots of research and understanding on the GCMS notes. Can you please help me to check and give any feedback? I would appreciate if you can help me and check look the note for me please.

Thanks
Bash
