Waiting for Passport Request

[ae03yy]

How can we send enquiries to the consulate office, do we need to send emails or do we need to call them? I am tired of waiting

You need to email, fax or send a mail.

hello everyone. im new here and have lots of questions, hope you could help me...

Buffalo received my application package 5th oct 2010. the medical request came 2nd week of april 2011. but since then i havent heard anything yet. it has been almost 10 months since buffalo received my application. when i go online and check ecas, it only states that the visa office had received my application. is my application processing time in the right time?

Second, i read in other forums that paying rprf even without the request from vo would somewhat speed up the processing. i already ordered from cic the receipt and got it in the mail today. so what do you think?

Thank you very much in advance to those who can help me with my questions...

it takes about 3-5 months after medical exam for the PPR to arrive expecially now that Buffalo's processing time increased. i don't know for sure if paying the RPRF even before they ask you to do it will speed up the process. in our case, that's what we did. at least sending the RPRF check gave me the excuse to send a case specific enquiry, told them i just need to confirm if they already put the RPRF check on our file. pretty sneaky but at least i got an update.

good luck with your application!

hi everyone,

Can we submit PPT without request from Buffalo?

hi everyone,

probably not advisable to send passports without them requesting it, they will just send it back to you. passports as we all know are quite important pieces of identification so I would not risk sending it via courier or mail unless it is necessary. i've heard of people losing their passports while in transit.

just hang in there, your passport request will come. good luck!

Thks Ruby for prompt answer, if only buffalo was as fast to send ppr...

About my question, i only wonder since we see ppl doing medical by anticipation, and paying rprf without request. Besides the guide never states we must wait before sending ppt. Some country i heard have to send ppt with the application so i wonder if anyone attempted to submit ppt w/o request. But, you're right ppt is too precious to send when not asked...i'll wait for ppr!
