Dear Sir,

4.Medical Review Decision/ and if at this point meds are expired CIC request medical to be extended or redone.

5. Final decision / either request PP/ or deny the applicant...


After reading all this information I have disclosed. I still don't know why it taking an eternity for the rejection letter to come unless they have decided their mind to continue processing my application? It's been 2 months and 1 week since they received the last document they requested. Question:

1.Could my file be under background check that is why it is very quite?



I want to fact in the background of this thread.My husband married his 1st wife in our home country (DRC). His 1st Marriage was a proxy one which took place on 08/ July/ 2010 he submitted everything to Nairobi in 12/11/2010. 3 months later that woman conceived from another man, my husband cancelled that sponsorship on 05/04/2011 but he never got a divorce certificate before he marry me because his first wife did not want to sign it. Now, His second Marriage is mine. He married me on 29/06/2012, he came down here to marry me unlike the first one which he only wrote a letter from Canada to Congo and one of his brothers represented him. We got married on that date I gave you. When he filed my sponsorship to Mississauga, He wrote a letter and certified it at the Police that He cancelled his first marriage and he was approved to be my sponsor. We are in the second stage of the application, the visa post did everything to process my application later on asked for my passport too. Now on September 13, 2013 High Commission of Canada in Kenya Nairobi sent to both of us an email asking my hubby his divorce certificate before they proceed with my application. HERE IS MY QUESTION. His divorce certificate is dated 19/12/2012 but our marriage was 29/06/2012, could this jeopardize the visa that they are about to deliver? People came up with brilliant comments when I asked this question; here is part 2 of the story question. However after it was said and done, my husband got an email from his MP on September 25, 2013 stating that she phoned Ottawa asking them to give her the status of my application. Ottawa said there is a bring forward date of October 30, 2013 and the file will be reviewed on this date, again Ottawa saw that High Commission of Canada in Nairobi noted that they received my husband's divorce certificate on September 18, 2013 when it arrived there. October 31, 2013 MP contacted Nairobi CHC ASKING THE STATUS OF MY APPLICATION. They wrote back on November 01, 2013 saying this:



Last email from the Immigration Program Manager was like this

Good morning,

November 01, 2013



The application is on queue for review by an officer. We received information from the sponsor in response to our request for a divorce certificate from his previous marriage. Once the review is complete, the client/sponsor will be advised of the next steps.



Should the medicals expire, new instructions will be sent to the client if the officer decides that the client is eligible.

Re: WITH YOUR FRESH AEGLE'S EYES, PLEASE GO THROUGH THIS INFO AND COMMENT

I wouldn't be expecting a rejection, it sounds like they got all the information they need and they will take a look at the application now. It can sometimes take quite a while depending on the office from the point they get all the documentation until they process the file.

Basically once they receive the file they will look through to see if it's complete. In your case (same as mine) there were a number of additional items to send in. Once you send everything in then it will go into a queue to be reviewed by the visa officer, this could potentially take months. At this point they will actually go through to make sure it's a genuine relationship which they probably haven't done yet, hence the time it's taking.

I'd say your app is in the queue and they will go through everything (hopefully) soon. I don't see anything from the correspondence that would say you should be expecting a denial.

Hey Davesav, that is what I see too. But I did not disclosed this information in my previous threads, however I thought it could be nice if I laid out everything so that people can help me with their experiences and fresh eyes as to how my file is progressing.

Can someone help? What kind of eligibility are they talking about here? I know they are talking about me not my sponsor/husband. Or are they talking about the file as a whole?

Yes, they are talking about the file as a whole. If the expiration of the medicals is the only thing keeping them from issuing your visa and it's been less then 15 months since you've done the medicals, the VO can ask the RMO for an extension of their validity. The RMO can grant the extension, can request that only part of the medicals get redone or the entire exam.

Sweet!!!! Betina, Thanks very much for your information I was so confused. It's been 1 year and 2 months now since my application is with VO. I received a 2 letters 3 apart and they have never mentioned about interview. However, they ask me completed a form and send another police clearance from my country which was in April and I submitted it.

Question for you Betina or anyone else. How soon VO notifies applicants if there is an interview? Is it whitin 3 months or 6 months that people know that they have interview?
