Spouse sponsorship Abu Dhabi office

[chilkootcee]

I do have them, just have to go through long old convos Thank you though!!

I had 800+ (yes) pages of whatsapp chat...so I organized them by month / year and created a table of contents...then picked out about 10 pages total and included the table of contents showing there were more if they wanted them

I think the new application package now restricts the amount of material that can be submitted (a good thing)...but the above strategy should still work.

Take care,

c.

This is a good sign. Did you see this on your myCIC or on GCMS notes? You will just have to wait for any document requests or PPR Unfortunately, the timeframe cannot be predicted as it depends on your nationality, how long you've been where you are and your travel history. Each case is unique and some take longer (or shorter) than others.

Wishing you best of luck.

Hi,

Unfortunately I have no idea...but hang in there it is coming....did you send a case specific enquiry? When do your medicals expire? You could also make a request for information on why things are delayed to your MP in Canada. I would also order GCMS notes now if you haven't done so.

thank you so much for your response ):

Yes I had send specific enquiry on Jan 31, till now there's no reply. regarding the medical is done since one year and 3 month . i'm sure that my medicals already expired. but I do not know if they need me to redo the medicals or not.

what happened before the interview they sent me an email regarding the interview and they asked me for more approve documents even we have a daughter which having the Canadian passport and our married since 2 years already . I had done the interview nicely and i give the officer a lot of documents which is already sent it before during when we was applying. at the end of the interview she told me if your application will get approve you have to send us your Egyptian police certificate. the interview was so good and the officer was so good really, after 5 days they called me and said that my application seems OK and i have to pay the resident permanent fees and the Egyptian police certificate and already done. all this happened on Nov. 2016.during the interview the officer hold my passport for one week for security check then they called me and send my passport back, the officer did not talk or asked me regarding if i'm gonna redo the medicals or not, all Dec nothing. later on Jan 2017 they asked me to send the IMM5669-Schedule A Background/Declaration Form & travel form, I had done already then they send me an email said that they have received my documents on Jan 18.

all i'm trying to do just to let you know about my application to let you know if is it seems really ok ? or they will ask me to redo the medicals or they will send me passport request or what ?

all my situation is so clear .all my documents OK but i do not know why they taking long time with me.

thanks a lot

ADVO never responds to case specific enquiries - the only way to know if they've received them is if they log them in GCMS - but even in our case the GCMS notes did not mention many of our CSE's....but it doesn't hurt to send an inquiry

I forgot (maybe because it might be obvious) - what does your myCIC or ECAS say?

I would order GCMS notes right away...at least that will show you what is on your file...

At the same time, I would send an email to your MP asking what the delay is....You are past the normal processing times for ADVO so they will have to look into your situation. They may not get back to you with useful information, but it will likely "prodd" the visa office in doing something.

Hope this helps.

GCMS - Global Case Management System - it is the database where the information regarding your file is kept and where the officers make their notes and record their decisions and usually the reasons for their decisions. They are usually ordered through an ATIP (Access to Information / Privacy) request. If the sponsor is in Canada, they can order them on your behalf but you will need to fill in a form giving them permission to have information on your file. There are numerous threads on ordering GCMS notes and interpreting them in this forum. Do this right away because it takes 30 days to receive them.

I would also send an inquiry to your MP (member of parliament) asking why your myCIC has not been updated (you already had the interview correct?) and were asked to pay the RPRF. And as well ask what the status of your application is because it is past the normal processing time date for PR applications outside of Canada..

Check this website http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/information/times/index.asp and fill in the information to confirm...take a screen shot showing the normal processing time for your country

....hopefully this helps! If you check below my signature there is an page that defines acronyms and talks about GCMS notes...

I'm Egyptian, but i'm living in Dubai maybe 8 years even we got married in Dubai. we was applying from inside Canada then later on after first response my application transfer here to Abu Dhabi office, I'm telling you this just to know how I can check the processing time for my application, I had check it most of the time and it is showing 15 month when i choose UAE. I think this is the right way to check the processing time because i did not apply from Egypt and my application already here in UAE, but I do not know 15 month including all the time since I had apply or just for processing time in Abu Dhabi visa office? even I had done more than this time. after 6 days 19 month will be done since I had apply.

this is regarding the processing time.


I would also send an inquiry to your MP (member of parliament) asking why your myCIC has not been updated. how I can do that ?

I mean they already working on my application right or what you think ?

Salaam.

You didn't need to go through a private party to order your GCMS notes...if your spouse is in Canada, he / she can order them directly from the government for free or $5. To be honest, I do not advocate using a consultant / business to order GCMS notes. Anyways, you've ordered them now and hopefully they will come through for you.

At this point I think you will have to just be patient and wait.
