So we had a bit of a situation recently;
The queries are in the end.
Summary of the events is:
PA's CoR was Finland
CoB is Pakistan.
PA got her passport stamped with a permanent residence counterfoil and COPR documents in December.
Our whole process was completed within 10 months. We are outland applicants.
PA and Sponsor (Canadian national, lives there too) planned a vacation before landing in Canada together.
PA lost her passport and other identification documents.
PA's Finnish temporary residence permit got cancelled in the process because she informed them it has been lost.
Filed a police report and panicked for 3 days (it was a weekend).
After the weekend, immediately applied for a new urgent passport.
Meanwhile her VO was in London, where the initial counterfoil/stamp and COPR came from.
PA contacted LDNVO via email and they kept on misinforming her about the process.
PA received the new passport within 5 working days.
PA was instructed to send the new passport etc to Madrid, Spain VAC by LDNVO.
Upon recent communication with VFS Global, PA was informed the documents will be sent to Paris VO and not to London VO (as the LDN VO claimed they will be sent to them)
My question is;
how efficient or inefficient Madrid VAC is?
Anyone here any experience with them yet?
What should we do in a situation like this?
Is waiting the only option?
Is there anyone we can contact to fast track things/at least be entered in the Madrid VAC's system? Or
is it all useless at the moment
Anyone have any clues how long Paris VO takes to stamp and send it all back?
Any help would be appreciated at this point
