I just called the MP's office and talked to the same person who inquired about my case in July. She said she will call the immigration today and do a follow up.

Hi Lav,
I went to the Colombo visa office with wife in June 2016 and security guard didn't even let me in. i was told that i can't meet the visa officer without appointment.

Thanks for the info Sutha. Is there any way for us to make an appointment with them or its impossible. So one of my friend brother's friend had the same issue. Was taking so long for his wife to get the visa. He tried calling the srilankan visa office and they were either kept on hanging up the phone on him or wudn't answer. Somehow he got the name of the visa officier working on his wife's file and he flew to srilanka and met with the officer and when he came back to canada his wife came with him :( :eek: however this happened about 2-3 yrs ago. Alot have changed now. It's sad that they wont even let us in :-\

So guys mps office called me back yesterday and the immigration told them the same crap. My Husband is in the queue for an interview and advised us to wait another 6 months and if nothing happens after 6 months to call them back to follow up and they will follow up with the Colombo visa office. Why cant they frigging do that now that 15 months is already over for us? 8) ??? FYI, my husband has been in the queue for an interview for 7 months already and they are telling me to wait another 6 months cuz they dont know how many ppl are waiting in the queue. How can they not know any info about their system/queue. Okay I am done venting :mad:

Hi Kankan, Where did your wife hear/see this? Was this news on any of the Sri Lankan medias? I think I am going to write a letter to the immigration minister and all the media here. We need to expose this news to everyone here. People like us wait for soo long with the fear of being rejected and these people get money and issue visa to the wrong people.
hi my wife told me Colombo news paper thinakural everyone know that happen. pls look at ndvo how fast even they call all of the 2015 file interview but Colombo vo still sleeping tho very old age officer I think so I hope change the officer

I am angry because Srilanka Immigration wasting our life. At the end we all going to die. What's the point of holding our file too long. Bad people end up getting visa very fast. So many of those people end up in separation.

Hi Vaish, we applied in June 2015, 15 months passed and waiting to get a date for the interview since March and they keep telling us to wait until we hear from them.
