Thoz who got 6-12 months wait letter

[eemmoo1]

Dear Friends,

I have renewed our Passports, should I inform LVO or wait for MR.

sheeno

I think you should inform them asap. Because I think they run checks on passports as well. So if you will inform them later that might "slightly" delay your case.

I know someone who got PCC+UDR in june 2012 (almost 1 year n 3 months ago) and since then , no MR.....
Further, Pcc r valid for 3 months...
So in my opinion, this is a small lollypop...and a stupid expense of DHL...they could ve asked this with rprf or medical....even eemoo people (oct 2012 UDR) r aproaching a year to pcc...so thinking this is a sign of MR is again a wishful thinking....as said earlier, until someone gets MR, its not a big deal.....they r just collecting stuff they have to ask, one by one and dragging something which couldve been asked all in one go....bus "jo maangein, de do" ....its just that we r SO frustrated/desperate that even when they ask for the smallest thing, we start celebrating ....dil behlanay ke liye acha hai but reality is , until MR comes, the game is not on...

I guess Jimmy is right, might be they are process of reviewing files before 'changing it from B to E' so they can convert it, uskay baad sakoon karain and then when they feel or want, they will start sending MR... so anyone can get any doc request till that time.... They might be completing file/process.... so they just have to send MR................. my opinion, other may differ

We have so far only one MI-1 applicant who got 18months email & then on 20/06/2013 got MR (GCCTOCANADA)
How come brother Jimmy, it looks exception to me....

but you never know some others can be lucky too

You should inform the VO about the renewed passports at the earliest and send them a notary attested photocopy of your new passport. Medical Request contains details of your passport and should be matching with your valid passport.

I think that there is no need for attestation until they ask. I sent mine without attestation and received medical request and later CORP with correct passport number... (My visa office was London and then file was tranferred to Paris).

Should I send hard copies or just e-mail the scan copies of Passport.

It's not urgent to inform them about your new passport they will need it later, if you read the letter "when to contact the visa office" it's all there about the things which you need to inform them

But you never know, when they'll issue you a medical. And I think the passport detail is also included in medical request papers ( please correct me if i'm wrong).

So it's better to update them in advance so that one can avoid any messup situation.

All I'm saying is...they should ve sent us MR in Feb 2013....or Aug 2013....and all they have sent us is PCC to two people (from club 18)...and we r celebrating EVEN on that... shows how desperate we ve become....chalo..achee baat hai....khush hona chahiye !!

P.s: since pcc has no impact on your departure date/visa, (only MR does)....so for me, MR is the first BIG step (as it is linked with the visa date)...all these small updates r just 'dil ke tasalli' without any REAL/IMPACTFUL event...and can be dragged...for me, this update is just "jo maanga hai, de do"...nothing to celebrate, nothing to be sad about !! Its just a sign that our file is alive (which is a good thing).

i do agree with all your points but does it make sense to give 4 months time to wait as they did to sazzadkw, why they told him to wait 4 months after submitting PCC?? do they dont care about their reputation and will again delay after 4 months!!!

and also only 2 persons are asked to submit PCC after 18m UDR!!! strange i think. why not others!!!

whats your take on this jimmy bro!!!

Should I send hard copies or just e-mail the scan copies of Passport.

I would do both (safest option)....courier photo copies+send email containing scanned passport....rest upto u...

Also, guys, can we renew our passport EVEN if it has 1 year validity left ?? Did someone do that from pakistan??

Safest is:

I checked in Pak embassy in UAE and they said they will renew only if validity period is less than 1 year
But if anyone having manual passport can apply for a computerized one any time and then I got passport for my child from manual to electronic version
But no idea from Pakistan, I think they should have the same policy
