Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

[Aref.P]

Hi,

I am the Sponsor (wife) of my husband (PA) who is living in Iran. I am new here.

I would just like to know if there's a Whatsapp group for Iranian applicants.

Kindly please send me the link. I would highly appreciate it.

Thank you!

I was also wondering if there is a Telegram or Whatsapp for Iranian applicant. Plz inform me if there is or if you are intending to make one.

Pleased check the cic website, when I did my application I made sure to follow exactly what they wanted on the check list. There they have the most recent one. The more proof of your relationship the better. Such as proof of financial support, pictures, letters, emails, social media. Make sure that all the translated documents are notorized

I sent mine on July 12th then they returned the papers again in August so I mailed it back again on August 20th and recieved the csq on September 9th by mail. So about 2 months

Sorry what is csq?

I am very happy for you, also happy to hear such a good news that one of us is finally getting a visa.

When did you recieve your CSQ? I recieved mine about a month ago and it says they’ve already informed the Ankara VO.

We also dealing with Ankara. So nervous because BGC has not started yet and file has been with them for over 2 months

Oh my goodness 2 mos is a long wait just for a BGC. Hopefully you’ll hear good news soon.

I guess the rumor that Ankara is fast in processing isn’t so true for everyone.

Yes it seems so long. I don’t get it because they are not asking for anything extra, jo additional documents, no interview. I hope I will also. Good luck to you. Keep us updated.

Also Ankara doesn’t want people to contact them unless they exceed the one year mark of processing the application

Have you already tried?

 

[Lanak]

Have you already tried?

No I haven’t. It states on the website that it should be only if it’s after the normal processing times. I may try a bit later

In my Gckey account it said the "We are processing your background check....". it has been like this since I got AOR1. Shouldn't they start BC after the file transfer to Ankara? Is it a template sentence? Or they have already started my BC?
