Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

[Hadli]

oh I stand corrected!
we were told that my wife's application was forwarded to Ankara on June 19th, but more than a month later, in late July we received a letter saying that the application is in Turkey now.

Everything is going to be fine

Does anybody see the following message on their profile when you log into your CIC to check your application status? this part was not there before yesterday and I think it was added yesterday.

Biometrics:

• Biometrics Number:
• Date of Biometrics Enrolment:
• Expiry Date:

I want to know if this means that now we have to travel to Turkey once for fingerprint and second to hand in our Passport to stamp the visa if we don't decide to leave our passport with a travel agency.

I also saw a message on CIC website that says:

We plan to expand our fingerprint and photo requirements
Starting July 31, 2018, you may need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics) each time you apply for permanent residence if you are from Europe, the Middle East or Africa.

thanks

No, I do not have that in my CIC account. Some applicants may not be asked to do their fingerprints

I'm very upset now! I thought next step is only background check and passport request, but now my profile has this biometric note added to... and you know what is funny? that it still says we don't need your fingerprint! but on the top it is requiring a biometric number and expiry date... I ca't wait for this whole thing to be done. my life is on complete hold and I can't focus anymore...

I understand your frustration they have no idea what we are going through! My application says you do not need interview, but they sent an email to confirm the interview language. I can't wait either, it is too much stress.
Hope they no gonna ask since they did not mention that you will have to submit them

Did you try to contact your local MP for any question? I did and emailed her yesterday she will call this week to ask.
I told her there is no update on my file since it was transferred to Ankara, 27 April. No update on medical which was done in may, eligibility, police clearance NOTHING! I think for me it something else, so confused​

I still haven't talked to the MP. I saw a friend of mine this weekend and he told me when the MP called the Visa officer, he got mad that they were trying to put pressure on them to proceed with their case faster. at this point, I don't know who I should listen to. I think it varies case by case... being patient is my only remedy at this stage...

Ooh really? I hope they are not getting mad at me, because I bother them a lot!
You right patient is so needed.

I think since we've already passed July 31, the website programmer has added to the website those Biometrics lines you mentioned. But, I think this (Biometrics) does not apply to those who have reached the decision made stage.

also the CIC site says:
Answer: You may need to give your biometrics depending on when we received your application.

if you two never lived together you obviously don't have any of the followings. however, if you did live together at some point provide one of the followings to show that you lived together using once address.

• Joint bank accounts or credit cards
• Joint ownership of residential property
• Joint rental receipts
• Joint residential leases
• Joint utilities accounts i.e. electricity, gas, telephone etc.
• Joint management of household expenses and activities
• Joint purchases of household goods
• Correspondence addressed to either or both parties at the same address
• Important documents that bear the same address for both the parties i.e. driver’s licenses, insurance documents etc.
• Evidence of children of one or both partners residing with the couple
• Telephone Calls

You can always write a cover letter and explain that for example in Saudi Arabia 2 ppl may be living together without having any of the proofs mentioned here. And attach any kind of documnets they can rely on to be sure you were truly living together.
