Visit Visa Timelines - Pakistan

[sfz123]

My previous application was stuck in background checks so I sent the emails IRCC webform also my chamber of commerce sent the letter directly to embassy for fastest processes . So I got visa approval 2 day before my exhibition. I attend the exhibition on time and come back within 4 days .

Wow that was a clos call. What are your intended travel dates now?

I think you don’t need biometric again .

But they required on my account the requirement for payment of $85 dollar for biometrics ......i am in usa and i will be in new yorknfor 2 days i.hope if i get bio request letter i can visit new york embassy .if it late then i have to do in Pakistan...

You dont need biometrics again. You probably have the information about your biometrics on your online account as well. If you’ve previously applied, then biometrics are valid for 10 years from what I’ve understood.

Yes , exactly

Hi everyone,

I wanted to start a thread for keeping track of when everyone applied and got their visit visa's - acceptance or rejection. Also would like to include passport processing times. Please do mention if you applied through the VAC or online. This is for Pakistani applicants only.

I've read a few stories on the forums, and now I'm concerned about just how long this process can take.

Based In: Lahore
Applied: Online
Application Date: 12th December, 2018
Biometrics: 12th December, 2018
Application Confirmation: 12th December, 2018
Current Status: Background Check In Progress
Passport Request Received: N/A
Passport Submitted: N/A
Passport Returned: N/A

I've made the format above so that everyone uses it. Really looking forward to everyone's responses - the official time on the processing time website says 36 days is how long they're taking for processing applications - but I've seen members get it in a week to some well over 2 months!

Today I got a message about an update: Review of eligibility started.
