Thread for September 2010 Applicants

[canda]

Thanks for this information, jendrian!
Seems like you received the same letter that GT25 and I did. I haven't been contacted back with instructions for the Federal Police Record. I'm in Toronto with my husband right now (have been here as a visitor since February 2010) so I'm expecting to receive directions to get the Informe de Datos Registrales instead of the Carta de Antecendentes Penales. The Embassy is able to get the Informe so there's no need for you to travel to "ugh" Mexico City (what's ugh about it by the way?). I would wait for the Embassy's instructions before booking a flight.
Check the Mexico thread on this site. There is a girl MexiCana who got the Carta for her husband who lives in Canada as a visitor, and her Carta was not accepted by Buffalo Embassy. She is now waiting for the Informe to be sent from the Embassy in Mexico to Buffalo. As I said, it's better to wait.
I'm wondering if GT25 has heard back from the Embassy yet...

You mention a formal request from the Embassy. Did they send you any letter requesting specifically Carta de Antecedentes Penales? In order to get the Carta, you need an additional letter from the Embassy and bring it to PGR when you apply for the Carta.

Please help if you can, we filed in OCT2010 i received my AOR from Mississaugua of approval to sponsor my husband the letter was dated Nov19 2010 and they said they were transfering it to Mexico city as of Nov 19 2010. I sent a email two weeks ago to Mexico city to confirm they had our file because we could not log onto ecas. I just received an email back yesterday saying they do not have our file yet from Mississaugua. Is this normal? I's been almost 2 months, did you experience this as well.
Comgrats to both on your process.

Thanks for the support kelkel!
Your file might be completed way before mine!! Ours had 2 major delays: they took ~1 month to start processing our file once it got to Mexico City, and the letter took more than 1 month ( ) to arrive with the requesting letter for police certificates..
We're expecting the visa to arrive before April and to land in May after a 3-4 week vacation in Mexico

Thanks Bonbon! They had requested we send a common law declaration mid December. They recieved in on the 21st. Not sure if this will cause any delays but I hope not. Back to waiting . Good luck with everything

I am hoping you can help me, i sent another message to you but i am trying everything. I will tell you Quickly my problem.
Applied outland to Missisagua Oct 21st received a letter dated Nov19th 2010 that i have been excepted to sponsor my husband from Mexico. They said that they are transferring our files to Mexico city. I started to worry a couple of weeks ago when we still were not able to get into ecas so i emailed Mexico city office and asked if they had our application. They sent me an email yesterday saying that they have not received our application from Mississaugua. Is this normal? It's been almost 2 months. Do you think it's lost somewhere?
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Great news warren, how exciting! Can I just ask how you got the passport back to you? I received my PPR on Saturday but as we flew into Calgary today, needed my passport and am now looking at getting it back to UK for the visa. I want to make sure it comes back to me in Canada and not UK, so used the webform to update my address with CIC London, but am trying to work out the best way of getting the passport over there and back.

Can you buy prepaid Fedex envelopes or something like that? What did you do?

I sent my passport to the Los Angeles office on December 20, they received it on December 28, and I still haven't heard anything. I checked e-cas, and it still says "in progress". Should I be worried yet? I am

Hi MissyS - did you send a prepaid envelope with a tracking number? Has it shown up as dispatched online yet?

Most people seem to see a 14 day turnaround.. perhaps with the holidays it is just set back a couple of days? Positive vibes coming your way.. ;D

That's right, I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for your reply, I feel a little less anxious now.
