When did you get the add doc request?
November 3rd I was expecting that request because we didn't have pic of signing the nikah nama and now have to send a letter and explain:( does anyone how long it takes for the visa officer to make a decision after receiving the documents?

If you look at the spreadsheet, DM usually takes between 40-50 days after the additional doc request.

What do you mean approved status? I haven't heard of that before. Which line does it appear next to?

It's always a good idea to courier as well, because the online system experiences problems sometimes. Upload them first and then send a physical copy just in case.

I did some approximate math you guys :cool:.

Based on the last 26 PPRs
on the spreadsheet (which is since Aug. 1st):
  • The average wait time between DM and PPR is approximately 5 days
  • The range of wait time is between 0-20 days
  • Over 70% of PPRs came within 1 week of DM
So for those of us waiting since Nov. 1st, we're most likely to get PPR within the next week, inshaAllah.

on GCKey, it's stated (File Transfer to LVO on Mon Sept 18th, 2017.)
Medical done on Sept 13th, 2017
"""""""Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents"""""""
Any advice if these can be changed anytime, can they still call for an interview? I am the sponsor lives in Canada, sponsoring my wife.
