Hi nylalisa ,

Did you sort that transit visa out? i am not sure if you really need a transit visa unless you leave the airport or have to stay inside the airport for # number of hours, each country has a different rule..hope things work for you smoothly :)
Hey, no the US just changed their rules and unless you are from a Visa Waiver Country, then you need a transit visa. I know most countries are like that, as long as you don't leave you can transit through. In the US I dont see the big deal since he would be with me and we are litterally just coming across the border.

Yes and i think since this is for landing in Canada, should be straight forward.

Thanks.

Missinghim,

its so sick of ND to do that.. even though u ve requested so many times to change the address, they still sent the ppt to ur old address.. whew..
Yes Sanyrog...they caused us a lot of worry and I was and still upset at them but guess what... we got the visa...well, it's with my husband's dad in Delhi. He went to the nearest post office to the embassy and caught it before it was sent back to the embassy. We are in Bangalore so next week he's flying to see us and bringing it to us. Im so happy. We also got some of our photos back lol

Details: our visa was stamped in his passport on March 4th. Our file was received at the embassy on January 10 So we had a really quick processing time but this recent scare caused us a lot of stress especially since we didnt know how much time they would give us to land. But the good news is we have til next January 2012 to land!! We are so relieved!!!

But we are going back together on July 18th. Well he's going on a different flight than me cuz we have 2 dogs to bring with us and they cant go on my airline. So he's booking with another airline.

Also just want to add for furture applicants that foreign travel in our case did not affect our processing time. Also, i didnt change my surname to my husband's surname. We also didnt have a big or traditional wedding. My husband and I are frm different cultures too. So everyone's situation is different!!!

We submitted medicals twice.

With our application to Mississauga. And then again when our file was transferred to Delhi (we did it voluntarily). Jan 28, 2011 hubby redid his medicals because the original medicals were to expire in april 2011 and we didnt know if New Delhi would be quick to process our case. If they werent they would ask us to redo them and we didnt want a delay.

Also my hubby needs time to land (job, etc) so we thought we would redo them to give ourselves plenty of time to land.

Hey,
On which address did he send his medicals then.
My police clearance was expired before I sent my file. I had police clearance certificate dated october 2010. I am wondering should I apply for police clearance again to avoid delay.

@ missinghim

Big congrats that you cud finally made it without much delay!!
Happy for you :)

Thank you so much :) We are happy. My kids will always have their dad with them every day never ever to be separated again! This is very special. He's an awesome dad and husband! We decided to settle in Canada and we are thankful we are done.

Challenger485: He sent the medicals to the indian embassy. The same address we sent passport too after PPR.
If Mississauga accepted your police at the time of submission of your app then you should be ok.
They should not be more than 3 mths old at the time you submit to mississauga. Our FBI checks were just in time!!!

@challenger485

I guess you can not send anything before you get your file number and file number usually comes with the PPR. And most of the times ND mentions all other documents needed in the PPR letter itself so you will anyhow come to know about it from your PPR. so wait for the PPR..........

Hi Challenger485,
You dont need to submit new police clearance checks if you are sure you submitted them with application to Missisauga within 3 mths of getting them done. Just be sure of this. I'll just repeat that if Mississauga accepted your police at the time of submission of your app then you should be ok. The rule is: They should not be more than 3 mths old at the time you submit to mississauga. Our FBI checks were just in time!!!

As for the form "Details of foreign travel"... thats very important.
But Def-col-male is right...best to send it when you have a file number. You could request it from the embassy by case specific inquiry. Hopefully they'll respond. How about faxing them a letter or courier it to them (it will be fast and they may respond. Maybe someone else on here knows how to find it besides on the ppr letter. I know you can get it frm Missisauga.. thats how I got my file number initially. I didnt wait til my PPR letter. You could also send it with client no. name, dob..all the details you have at this point... but it would be better if you had the file no. Ask Nylalisa because I recall her getting her file no. before she got ppr. She may be able to help you if you dont get it frm the call centre.

If you have foreign travel you need to fill out that form. If you dont want a delay in the end
