Thread for applicants of NEW DELHI 2010!

[HopefulWaiting]

I wonder what is taking so long I wish the process was a little bit more transparent. I really thought that my process was straightforward. It's frustrating when some people's case gets processed within 2.5 months and others takes up to 6-9 months........and some dont even get ppr for long periods of time. I know they give a 6 month window, but even if you have not fulfilled that 6 months, you tend to worry when other ppl who have applied after you have received visa. If they made the process uniform...have a set of working standars that all VO's are required to follow........it would make the lives of all parties invovled that much easier...Getting to the point where even in my dreams I am seeing IN PROCESS.

Hi Fellows!!

As I posted in this thread long time ago. Let me go through all of it again. I am permanent resident of Australia (Indian Citizen) and been living here from 6 years. My Wife (Sponsor) is Canadian. My file was going through Sydney VO but today I recieved funny email from VO saying following:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada, submitted to our office
on 4th April 2011.
Following an initial review of your file it has been determined that we cannot process
your file in Sydney as you do not meet the requirements of Regulations 11(1) which
state:
“Place of application for permanent resident visa
11. (1) An application for a permanent resident visa — other than an application for a
permanent resident visa made under Part 8 — must be made to the immigration office that
serves
(a) the country where the applicant is residing, if the applicant has been lawfully admitted to
that country for a period of at least one year; or
(b) the applicant's country of nationality or, if the applicant is stateless, their country of
habitual residence other than a country in which they are residing without having been
lawfully admitted.”
In light of the above, and in accordance with CIC Operations Manual OP1 5.20, we have
therefore transferred your file this date to the New Delhi in India.
All future correspondence regarding your application should therefore be directed
towards that office. Upon receipt of your file the office in New Delhi, India will be in
further contact with you. Should it be determined that a personal interview is required in
the assessment of your application, you will be required to attend that interview in New
Delhi, India.
Yours sincerely,
Visa Officer

I dont mind processing to happen in India as its fast, but i was just confused how come I dont meet above requirements.

Anwayz I am happy to be part of this thread now. Gonna book my tickets to India soon!!

If u read the OP manual it states the following...
"
Presentation of a national passport should constitute satisfactory proof of the applicant's
nationality, and the office responsible for the country in question will generally process the
application whether the applicant lives in that country or not. However, this does not prevent the
office, if it sees fit, from running checks with the office responsible for the applicant's country of
habitual residence"
So in other words even though you are a PR of Australia, the presentation of your indian passport made the VO decide to send the application to New Delhi.

It further goes on to state "
As part of program integrity considerations, officers should also be mindful that the intent of R11 is
to ensure that, as much as possible, visa applications are reviewed by the offices with the local
knowledge and expertise necessary to conduct an effective case review

So dont worry about where it is being processed. these clauses can make the VOs do whatever the feel like doing. Lets just hope ND processess the application faster than Sydney would have

Looks like you got a very strict VO in Sydney.

Highlighted in Red - Usually it is processed in the country you reside lawfully for more than one year, which in your case is Aus.

But, your sponsor AOR letter should say this " the visa office in Sydney has ultimate authority of this file and can transfer the file to any Visa Office should they decide so "..and that is what they have done.
You do qualify to be processed in Sydney but being a Indian citizen they have sent it to ND.

Nothing to worry though...

ND does not give you a time line as to when to send your passport in the PPR, but they do state the date on additional document request.

Hope this helps and again this is from the user esperience from the last 3-4 months, earlier they did give a deadline for PPR like 60 odd days.
With ND nothing is standard and you can expect anything..either jus a PPR or a PPR with a due date.

In my case i was just asked to send the PP without a deadline.

 

[jasvarun]

Fprince thanks for info... ND does crazy things... I have been reading this forum (especially this thread) from long tym... and i am very well aware how they played games with u... Good luck with everything mate... hope you get ur PP back soon....

Totally agree with you. Things should not be this random, they should have some uniform standards.

Hmmm...very interesting. They could easily have processed your application in Sydney, but they chose not to do so.

While you are happy about moving to India in the meantime, what if you did not want to do so? What if you were working in Sydney and wanted to go directly from Sydney to Canada and bypassed India altogether?

I guess there is no other choice though.....I know it wont workout well for everyone.... Its just that I had actual plans to visit india before I came to know all this.. so I dun mind otherwise its like wastage of time and money... One have to leave job and Go to India so that file can be processed its just stupid.... That y i found it funny at first spot..... but then I was like Okay its givin me an opportunity to stay in India for sumtym before I move to canada......

Anyhow I have handed in my resignation to my boss yesterday, booked tickets for India (next month) All set and sweet to go!! I think its tym to say Goodbye Aus!! Gotta do lot of packin.....

Hope ND processes it faster... Sydney already wasted my month and half

Sorry, i did not get your story..
who asked you to resign & physically move to India ? it is not a must.
Your file was just transfered to ND..you do not have to be in India when it is being processed..You can still stay in Sydney and once you get your PPR... the trick is as to how to send your Indian PP through a rep to ND as they do not encourage Indian PP being sent or commin in to the country through mail..it is similar to nd processing nepal and bhutan applications..
am i missing something here? :

example - Ind citizen in canada on a work permit applies for FSW to buffalo and buffalo choose to send the file to ND to process, this happens a LOT.
in that case the applicant still works in Canada and does not have to move to India..

All you need is your parents address as mailing address so they can send your PPR there to India ( if your parents live in India )..

Do let me know..am confused.
