So... I got my CAIPS notes today. It took almost exactly 6 weeks.
The good news: They apparently decided all the way back on December 13, 2010 that our relationship is "bona fide" and waived my interview. Medicals were received; my lupus is documented but no issues there.
The bad news:
1) Both "RCMP Name check" and "UAE police check" are listed under "documents requested". They STILL don't have a result entered for RCMP name check; those checks do not take months to do. (And I have a really weird, Google-me-and-you'll-only-find-ME name, so I doubt a name check would come up with any hits anyway.) And UAE police check? Really? We sent the original along with our entire file in the very beginning, AND never received any requests for documents from them. It would take over 2 months to get another one, short of me hopping on a plane (that we can't afford without adding more CC debt) and spending a week in the UAE myself to get it done faster.
2) Related to (1). The IO notes clearly state "Pending: UAE PC, RCMP Name check results" and then actually says, "Action taken: Interview waiver letter/documents list sent" (sounds like IA). Yet neither us nor our consultant ever got anything. This is dated December 15, 2010 btw.
3) My file has a bring-forward date of April 1, 2011... yet it looks like no updates have been entered in at all. In fact, it looks like it's been untouched since December 15, 2010.
There's nothing entered in for background check decision or security check, so I'm guessing that's still pending too.
Rotted. So, so rotted.
