Yes they do return the pictures & other documents but generally it is so after the processing . If they have not asked anything , you may assume all is good .

If you wish you can email the Indian CHC and they generally respond back in 48 hours - better if your wife does that as she is the primary applicant & the CHC practices privacy of information .

Hi guys,

Good news! My wife received her visa today. Here's my timeline:

CIC Mississauga received my application: April 24, 2007
Started processing: May 17, 2007
CHC Delhi started processing wife's PR application: May 31, 2007
Passport request received: June 18, 2007
Passport submitted to CHC Delhi: July 24, 2007
Passport received with visa: August 21, 2007

Total duration: 4 months

Please note that since my wife didn't have her last name on her passport, we had to sent her passport to the regional passport office for the addition of the same. Since I am having 'Singh' as my last name, they didn't automatically added it to hers. This delayed the process by one month.

So, technically speaking CHC Delhi processed the case in 3 months. If we had her last name on her passport, we would've received the visa way back in July.

Good luck to the people who are waiting. May each one of you get a good news as soon as possible. Bless you all!!!

Update on my application;

-mailed application on July 11, 2007.
-CIC received application to sponsor on July 13, 2007.
-started processing application on August 20, 2007.
-received approval letter from them on August 22, 2007 and file sent to India.

Congratulations Gurpreet. Nice to know that you finally got the visa. I am still trying to get lastname added to my wife's passport (she has just one name on her passport). That is taking longer than I expected and I hope I get that done before Delhi Embassy asks for passport.

I made mistake of not paying landing fee with my application. Is there a way to pay it now (online/offline) or do I have to wait for letter from them for that? CIC website online fee payment option has no choice for 'landing fee'. Do I pay that to Delhi Embassy or CIC Mississauga? Anyone please???

SSHAH:
I mailed my application on the same time frame too. They received my application on the 16th and the E-case shows that they started processing on the 22nd of August, I called CIC as I had forgotten to pay LAnding Fee to and they said I should pay and send a copy to Mississisauga referencing the B number that I will get on my reply from CIC and do the same to New Delhi office too.

Also, can you please tell me what E-cas says in your case at this time and how did it start reading progressively referencing dates as mine says case started processing on the 22nd and this has been the case for past couple days now. I will appreciate your response.

Please be in touch as we are in the same boat, applied at the same time and made the same mistakes too

Hi,
What should one choose of the following choices in the sponsorship application.

If you are found ineligible to sponsor, indicate whether you want to:

1. To withdraw your sponsorship application, all processing fees less $75 will
be repaid.
2. To proceed with the application for permanent residence.

Please give your inputs.

Thanks
