Thread for applicants of NEW DELHI 2010!

Re: Thread for applicants of Sydney AUSTRALIA

Hi Ali,

My case is similar to yours. I am an Indian Citizen and International student in Australia, came in last July and my student Visa is valid up to 2014. I currently am living with my canadian wife in Brisbane (Married in July 2011) and almost finished with applications and documents. Just wanted to know

1. Should I opt for Sydney or New Delhi Canadian Visa Office?

2. I have a PCC already from Indian Consulate in Canberra. Do I need a PCC from INDIA itself or what I have is enough?

3. Do I need an Australian PCC because I am about to complete my continuous 6 months in Australia?

Waiting for your prompt reply.

Many thanks and kind regards
Mohd.

Asak,

Welcome to the thread!

1) When do you plan on filing your papers? You need to have finished 1 year in the country of residence (Australia) before you can opt for Sydney as your VO. I believe you haven't done that since you arrived in July last year. Also, the chances of your application being automatically transferred to New Delhi are high. There was another member on here named jasvarun who was exactly in a situation like yours. He had been living in Australia for 6 years and opted for Sydney, yet they transferred his file to New Delhi. You could search him up and read up his case.

Also, Indian passports cannot be sent out of or in to India by mail (if they transfer your file to ND). You will have to be physically present in India to get your visa stamped. Or maybe, you could send it through someone instead of mailing it out. That would pose another issue. And what if ND requests you for the passport and then calls for an interview? I suggest when you get PPR, you travel to India and stay here till you get the visa.

But, I think your case is not eligible to be processed in Sydney if you apply right away since you havent finished one year.

2) The PCC from an Indian consulate is fine.

3) Yes, you need to have a PCC from Australia since you have already finished 6 months of your stay.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Thanks! Did you order the GCMS notes? I suggest you order them immediately. And yes, your 6 months are up, you should contact your MP too. Meanwhile send a CSE, it takes them around 28 days to reply. Hope you hear some news soon! All the best

hei shamsia congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

can u tell me what it GCMS and CSE???

hei shamsia congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

GCMS is Global Case Management System notes. They include information about your case, such as when the case was looked at by the VO, the next date at which the VO is going to look at your case, if the VO thinks your marriage is genuine etc. These need to be ordered by your spouse or anyone living in Canada.

CSE is Case Specific Enquiry. It's an email you send to the VO to find out more information. The VO may or may not reply to your query. Usually, if your case has extended 6 months mark, you are more likely to get a reply.

Hi and welcome to the thread.

First question - do you really need to submit your papers through the consultants? The fact that they do not know about the medicals is proof that they do not have much idea about spousal cases. IMHO, these consultants deal mostly with student and visit visas. Without meaning to discourage you, unless your case isnt very complicated, such as second marriage, different religions, criminal records (you shoud be going to a lawyer at this point), I do not think you need to waste your money on consultants. I suggest you spend time on this forum and do the application yourself since its actually quite simple once you get the hang of it. But its going to be your call at the end of the day.

As for the medicals, they need to be done before hand. You need to download and take a form called Appendix C with you which the DMP will fill and stamp up. You need to keep a copy to yourself and attach the original with your application. Later, when your file reaches ND, they marry up your medicals with your file. The medicals are valid for an year and that should be the last thing you do before submitting your application.

The process never changed, you always had to submit your application to Mississauga for outland spousal sponsorships. At the moment, its taking 74 days for sponsorship approval and for the file to be transferred to ND.

Hope this helps.

You are welcome! And all the best with your application! Yes, you can apply for the Supervisa for your parents as long as you meet the requirements, esp the medical insurance one's. Your PR application to sponsor your wife wont affect it in any way. If yours is an open and shut case, it should take anywhere between 4-6 months. But since June, we have noticed that ND is not as quick as it used to be. It's still within the 6 months mark for straightforward cases though.

If you dont mind, can you please tell me how much the consultants are charging...just curious

 

[newdelhi2011]

You can find the Appendix C here on website to take to your DMP.

Not a problem. You can ask your queries and anyone can help you out. This is a pretty helpful place ^_^

Thanks!!

Packing's a daunting task! Maybe kuku's wife can help me? ;D

Lol !!!

sure !!! she is all set to leave !! .. She is going to leave the next day she gets her passport back

 

[singhson]

Wow 25K that's crazy! Funny thing cic runs ads on TV here asking people not to use agents or consultants as they either scam people or don't know the process. You're doing the right thing asking questions here, it will help you immensely. just an fyi this year its taking cic longer than 6 months to process complete application as approving the sponsor alone is taking over 2.5 months.

What's up with all ladies and shopping and packing? My wife also started shopping and I told her to put a break on it for a while.
It's not even in "in process" yet so too early for shopping in full speed.

25K is way tooo much for an immigration consultant...

Is he based on Canada by any chance ? Check their registration numbers with CIC, to be sure. Because the amount is totally unheard of.

Usually for spouse sponsorship, the consultants charge anywhere between 2K to 3K range....MAX 5K (some expert lawyers).

I am using a consultant for my process and I paid 2K and I know him well because he is a personal friend of mine.
But running rates should not be as crazy as 25K, that much I am sure.

Because, even some top shot immigration lawyers in Toronto only charge about 5K which I know because one of our friend went through them.
