Hello Friends,

I got married in June 2008. My papers finally arrived in New Delhi on
Dec 4th 2008. eCAS says processing from Dec 4th 2008.

I am on a medical condition (suspected TB). I went thru rounds of
testing and medications etc., Finally I was cleared by my TB doctor
and the DMP sent report to New Delhi on June 30th 2009.

New Delhi has received the reports on July 2 2009. It has been 3
weeks till date that the final report has been received by New Delhi.
I have not heard ANYTHING SO FAR from New Delhi. No letter of any
kind, no passport request or any more info from them about my case.

Not sure what to do on this situation. I emailed asking for a status,
but last time I did that it took 3 weeks for New Delhi to get back to
me. So now I am totally lost as to what to do.

Any inputs, suggestions on how to address this would be apprciated.
Is it possible to travel to the Embassy/Consulate and try to get
inside and talk to an officer ? Would they allow me ?

What about trying for a visitor visa, I really want to see my husband
and he cannot come due to work load right now and job situations.

Are you talking about additional medical requested by visa
office? Normally you should do the medical before submitting
application and include the proof of medical together with the
application.

Keep in mind that medical report has different path of
processing than any other documentation for your PR visa. While
the report was sent to New Delhi, it will be different office
than the one processing your visa office, but special office
dealing with medical report. That office will need time to
process and confirm the medical report. AFAIK it can take up to
3 months until the medical report is confirmed and put into the
system (so the visa officer can see it).

Furthermore, you are required to send the proof that you did
medical to the visa office. Have you done so?

> What about trying for a visitor visa,

You can try. You will need to prove that you are de-facto
visitor, have no intention to stay in Canada, and have strong
ties to your current country, stronger than your ties to Canada.

S,

I would say that three weeks is normal and not a delay. As mentioned
it can take up to three months for medical result to appear on file
with the visa office. Its generally a bit faster than that for follow
up testing as in your case. If you are determined to have Inactive TB
its likely that you will require 'medical surveillance' when approved
to come to Canada. Generally this means that you have to check in a
few times with public health officials to ensure that your condition
isn't changing.

As for the visitor visa, you can certainly try, but I would think that
your chances of being determined a legitimate visitor are low. You
have applied to live in Canada permanently and your husband is in
Canada. This will make it hard to prove that your ties to your home
country are stronger than to Canada.
