Dear All


Good News, I have been called by the Embassy (Lebanon) in order to go and collect the Medicals and in order to pay the Permanent residence fees.


Just Now they called me.....
 
That's wonderful news yma981. Hopefully the rest of us will follow shortly.

Does anyone know what happens if the CSQ expires before the visa is issued? Because mine expires on April 23rd, 2012, so only a couple of months from now...

Hey ,, congratulations !!! wish you landing very soon ..
 
I do agree that the SKIP is awkward, wonder if it has to do with the profession need list or a plain mixup, so when do the CSQ really expire? after 2 years?

cheers

i called my lawyer, she told me that it must be a mixed up.

The CSQ expires after 3 years not 2. i really wish that they call us within a couple of months because the visa has to be issued while the CSQ is still valid. but hey look at the bright side at least they called someone !
 
Yes it's true that the CSQ expires after 3 years. I got mine in April 2009, but due to delays in getting a police certificate from the US (I went to university there), it took me a whole year to file for the Permanent Residence visa. Which is why I only have until April 2012 before mine expires.

Jet, does your lawyer know what happens when a CSQ expires before the visa is issued? I read online that a new one will be issued, but a confirmation would be nice.
