I am just wondering which month CIC stopped receiving application for 2012. Who knows?

I see that Accra is sending MR for April 2012. I have not seen anyone in the house that is May 2012.

Does this mean that after April 2012, the next should be May 2013?

Or do we have December 2012 applicants?

Many congrats With God. God has truly been with you and you're application and I thank him for granting you success at the end. Congrats.

May God visit all 2011 and 2012 applicants before the end of February IJN.

May he also remember we FSW2013 applicants sooner than we think. Amen.

Egbe, i dont think there was any FSW applications received after June 29 2012 at the end of the 2011/2012 FSW Application period. Applicants from PNP programs, PhD stream and even FSW with arranged employment could still apply though and as we know, these won't be as much as FSW applicants.

I think they will soon turn their attentions to we FWS 2013 applications. Lets just keep our fingers crossed.

I think CIC stopped receiving applications for FSW 2011 on 1st July, 2012, but Accra may/ may not have FSW applicants for May, June and July 2012. I believe we (FSW 2013) are getting closer gradually. AVO will surprise us very soon.

Seniors, I have a question just out of curiosity. From a sister forum, I have seen that many London VO applicants have received invitations for Interviews as part of their background checks while some applicants from New Delhi VO actually had physical checks at their places off work.

Please how does Accra operate. Did you guys attend interviews or you had checks in your offices through physical visits, email or calls, or was there nothing at all until the issuance of MR and Visa.

Please reply.

The way each VO operates is different from the other but from my own experience with Accra, they do background check mostly on Security via Police Reports sent to them and also on finances(via bank statement of account).

It all depends on how you packaged your application and how genuine and enough are the documents presented, for me, the only background check was on Security, Birth Certs and my Marriage Cert; no interviews or visitations involved.

Hope this helps...

All the best!

You mentioned check on finances (via bank statement of account). Can you highlight on this? Does this mean they will go to your bank to inquire your current account balance or is it just making sure that such banks exists? Will the bank oblige to release such information on client account?

On employment, I have been wondering if it is entirely necessary to inform VO on change of employment even though it was mentioned a requirement in PER letter and E-cas. I just feel that if you've worked in a place, and the employer is willing to confirm that you did when VO asks, this suffices. Of course issues like change in family constitution e.g. addition of a child I think has a greater implication if you do not inform VO.

If we give every information about change of job, travel history etc, won't this slow the visa processing down?

Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.

Remain blessed.

Thanks for your reply. I have no problems with regards to any documentation. I actually included originals of some documents where they had requested photocopies like Bank Statements and Reference letters. I will be moving jobs soon so want to ensure that my current employers are prepared for any eventuality like a call or personal visit after I leave. I will send details of my new job to Accra when I resume.

Egbe, nobody except you can have details of your bank details. The most Accra can do is send the statement you submitted to the issuing bank to confirm if the document came from them. This way, they confirm the funds were available AT THE DATE which the letter was issued. They may still request you to obtain a recent Statement just to be sure the funds ate still available. About the new job status, I was also thinking like you but will still send documents to Accra just to fulfill all righteousness. Because if you look at it, the experience already garnered has qualified you for processing and that should be all they need. On a second thought, they may need it to update your Personal History to know exactly what you are doing at all times.
