Not quite November, but close enough (I applied in Bombay):
- Application 24 Oct 2021
- Biometrics 16 Dec 2021
- Approval 6 April 2022
I got an email saying we have a message for you. And my account now says
"your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below for details."
But it also still says
- We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
- We are reviewing the additional documents you provided. (I didn't)
- We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Good God that took forever for what was essentially a straightforward "renewal".
Now, if anyone knows, how on earth do I send them the passport?
