WOW ....whats your secret lol ...Ive never seen an application be processed so fast

CONGRATULATIONS !

 

[jillandmat]

we got PPR in October.. I think the 12

i guess it was super fast.... no secret.. just real relationship

and our package was just normal -- like 10 extra pages with pics embedded in.. nothing fancy.. about 20 pics total...

 

[canamconnect]

So in your app...you say 10 pages with pics embedded...10 pages of what exactly? Your story of your relationship? Just curious as I am about to start this whole process.....

 

[jillandmat]

yeh i did one page to prove continuing relationship with a few small pics around it in like a portrait type page (landscape) and it was basically 2 paragraphs of our relationship from beg. to now...
and then we (i) answered the relationship question in the resident ap.. a mini story that included the meeting, wedding, after, and now so it answered a few questions and included a few pics in there (like i think around 15)
nothing else.. no bills, letters, nothing ... other than the other docs they requested

i actually found this forum the week after i sent the ap -- and i was pretty confident when i sent it.. but then after reading everything on here i was super scared and probably would have included a ton of other things (that i guess they obv. didnt need)

we also have a straight forward case -- married for 5 years 2 kids living together for 6 years.. known each other for 8...

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh got the PPR today ;D Alhamdulillah and submitted it CHC Dhaka at 2.30 p.m..so had some happy rush hours for us..

I was learned later that e-cas can be updated on decision made even before visa stamped on Passport if there is no complication in the case. Mine was as straight as a stick may be even more than that ..thats why I guess they did updated mine e-cas before visa issuance..

I am going to book my ticket on March between 15-20 coz the lady told me it might take 8 weeks max to get back passport thats why I am taking 2 months on my hand ...FAIR ENOUGH I GUESS
