Please has Egusi storage started?

Hello. Please can I send you a mail?

I wonder why my own CBSA notes ordered on the 6th of February is yet to drop.

quote author=Makibarbie post=122341899]My dear
I ordered gcms note in January 5th and didn’t get any feedback. Then on the 4th of march I ordered cbsa after someone advised that this means is faster. However the feedback i got now was to the cbsa I ordered on the 4th of march So i can say it took a month.

I applied for CBSA notes under privacy act on February 6th but no feedback yet. That's well over the 30 days they said it would take. Is there any way to track?

obazi:
GCMS notes takes longer time. Cbsa notes might be better. The person I use most time,have always delivered for me.But I don't know the time frame now for Cbsa notes and GCMS notes.

Thank you.

Yea number discrepancy almost always costs you your appointment, cos they'll refuse to attend to you and you'll have to go schedule a fresh appointment.
Best way to get around this is this:
Carry both copies along.
To ensure there's no mismatch, take the original form.
To ensure the form is up-to-date, take the updated form.
Whichever one works for them, it will be up to the Visa Officer to decide. But you would have played your part in meeting every possible requirement.

Secondly, the point of IW is to eliminate the need for in-person interview. She doesn't have to show up.

Please any help with this?

Hello everyone.
I need some help please. I just booked an IW drop off date for mum and found out that she needs an updated DS 160 form since hers was filled in June 2022 and the form is supposed to be at most 6 months old. My question is this: if i fill out another form it will have a different number from that on her appointment confirmation. Will this be an issue? Also, does she have to appear in person for the submission or can i do it for her? Thanks

I applied in December, biometrics 23rd December, I have received my passport with 4yrs visit visa already

the Canadian government website. It has two types of request: Access to Information Act and Privacy Act.
Access to Information Act costs $5CAD; but PRIVACY ACT is FREE. Go through Privacy Act
This is the link to the website:

https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do

Choose the Canada border service agency (cbsa) option is faster than gcms .. under privacy act just choose cbsa option and u will get ur note in 3-4weeks

*Please select the Department where you would like to submit an Access to Information or Privacy request.
Select *canada boarder service agency*

Thank you. Much appreciated

oluayebenz:


LoL
Many that applied since 2021 are still waiting 😊😊

People like me have been waiting since October 2021

Makibarbie:
Please how can one track Gcms note.

I got the tracking number the first time we requested and i don’t know how to track with the number

Please which website did you use to order the notes?

purespikes:


I have been to the US severally, the last being October 2019 shortly before Covid-19. My Visa just expired in 2021. This is in addition to being a regular visitor to UK, France and other countries
Yet, my visa is still pending since July, 2022. See, there are no rules to this thing. Just pray for luck

You are very correct. My last US visa expired in 2020. I applied in October 2021 and its still pending. This is just a game of luck (grace)

Karmora:


My is October 2021. Nothing yet , it’s well.

Also submitted in October 2021. No news yet...

Sorry I'm just seeing this. I've sent you a message.

Letuspraytogod:


Please send me your number or IG handle, let’s connect abeg.
Thanks

I am in the same shoes. Applied October 2021 via GCkey and haven't heard a word since after my biometrics.

Letuspraytogod:
I’m actually very sad. Nothing makes sense.

Biometrics since October 2021 and nothing yet from IRCC.
No medical instructions nothing nothing. I refresh my email every 30 minutes now hoping for a good news. Nothing.
What’s with the hold up?
Without this, there’s no hope for PPR.

Am I the only one going through this? Please help!!!

PS; I applied using the old portal. I haven’t re applied using the new portal cus I applied after September 7th.
I started my application October.

Tochyajike sorry I'm just seeing this now. I havent attended my follow up interview because i don't live in Lagos and have to take time off work to travel. Kindly update if you have attended yours. Thanks.

Tochyajike:
@bittersweet how did this situation eventually play out. Was your visa granted? Asking cause I’m in the same boat right now. How was the interview and what did you tell them?

Lol. Thanks

Dampops:
Congrats @Nadnad


@Bittersweet This is similar to your situation. Just prepare for the interview and explain you are going on vacation.

Best of luck @Bittersweet….It’ll be sweet at the interview…lol

Thanks for your response. Please do you think its better to reach the consulate by email or phone. I can do that first thing Monday morning

fkj950ax:


I think you should engage the embassy before going on any Thursday to understand why an assumption was made you have the intention to seek medical treatment. This is important as they wont approve any B class visa for birth purposes right now. Only other medical reasons.

B2 is not in error if you intended to go for vacation or tourism.

Your previous visa would have been either B1 or B2, not both, BUT the embassy annotates it as B1/B2 on the printed visa. In the system, it's either or, and not both.

If you can send an email or if there is a ticket support system, do that first.

Your application also wasn't refused. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asked to come with documents. A refusal doesn't give you an opportunity to come back any Thursday of your choice (VIP moves), so no predicament yet.

If you are unable to engage them, or will rather not, then go on a Thursday of your choice and calmly explain you have no medical condition requiring 'medical visa'. Have your proposed vacation or tourism plans in the same breathe and tell them.

All things being equal, you'd be approved.

This is what i filled in my form

Tilda25:
You need to check your appointment confirmation.
Does it state B1/B2 category? You need to go through your DS 160 application very well. There is provision for category B visa only. I think the error occurred while you were booking an appointment.

Thanks for your response. I dont intend to make ficticious hospital appointments. I dont have a medical condition, neither am i pregnant. My fear is that they may say i want to use their faciities for free and decided to change to B1/B2 when B2 didnt work out. But then, a pre requisite for IW is that you have to be renewing the same type of previous visa, i havent applied for a B2 before and my duration says 3 weeks. It was just a mistake. A very costly one ....

Dampops:
You can say that you made an error in your visa selection and that you meant to select B1/B2 category since your travel purpose is tourism. Knowing how those guys think, they will assume this excuse is an afterthought and may tell you to reapply choosing the right category…but it’s still wise to be honest with them. You’ve made a genuine error, stick with that narrative. If you want to start making fictitious hospital appointments, you’ll be digging more holes that can backfire.

Your honesty may earn you sympathy and favor. You can make vacation enquiry in the meantime. Where are you going to visit? Where are you going to stay? How long will you stay? Give specific details when asked. Show that your purpose is tourism and back it with details of your preparation…

Best of luck…

Mind my typos.

Please help

Good day everyone.
[color=#990000]Please i have a question. I heard that Canada will not give you a visa beyond the expiry of your passport, so what happens if i made an application and the request to send passport is made a few months to expiry of passport? I made an application since last year and still waiting for a response.

Please i need assistance on this predicament. I tried to renew via IW and was refused. When my passport came back, i was asked to come on any thursday with a cost estimate and budget for my proposed medical treatment. I was beyond shocked because i didn't apply for a medical visa. I went back and checked my DS160 application and found out i clicked B2 in error instead of B1/B2. My previous visas were B1/B2. How can i remedy this situation? Any advise will be highly appreciated,please

Here's the link to check your visa status

author=Talisha2018 post=110847564]This is what's on my profile. No Issued or Refused. Just says passport is ready for pickup[/quote]

Please when did you submit and when did you get the pick up mail?

Qtip:
I just got my passport back from DHL, I got a follow up interview letter. I don’t have to pay another fee and the document requested for the interview is only my passport but I’ll go with other supporting documents just in case.

Still yet to understand why there are so many refusals. I thought the IW process was re introduced to unclog the very tight calendar. Now, a lot of people who went through the IW route have refusals and are required to schedule regular appointments. Just going around in a circle if you ask me....

If you have really gotten a date, you will see the required documents on the appointment confirmation letter. Mind you, submission is at the consulate, not any DHL office

ymx:
I just got a date for my interview waiver. What are the documents I need to show and submit at the DHL office next week?

Anyone who has recently submitted the dropbox interview waiver should please advise?

I'm interested. I need a date asap as i'll no longer be eligible after March.

dixja:
If you are looking for IW calender, i think the best way is to get like 12 or more people in a group and some in the group check in the morning hours and report while others check in the afternoon and the rest check at night. This way everyone in the group will have 2 login slots left everyday for when its needed and wont have to waste your 3 daily slots and get your account frozen.

if you find this idea a good one then please lets do it.

72 hours

oab1:
How long was it frozen for? Mine got frozen this morning.

My account is back up. No IW dates as at 7.20am

Thanks bit the mistake was from the email not password. Just like i used abcd@gmail.com instead of abcd@mail.com

Newsolutions:


Check again after 30hours or so, they will unlock it. Just be patient don't be tempted to click. Write down your password somewhere. I checked last night and this morning, there are no dates so you have not lost anything.

The email not the password. Both emails have the same name just that one is gmail.com and the other is mail.com

oab1:
If you used a wrong email previously, then you should not be suspended on your correct email since the attempts were with the wrong email. Or do you mean you used a wrong password?
