Yes. True. Don't they have work from home option? I mean the embassy
I don’t think so bro. Most of the work is done by vfs and I have a feeling vfs is going to be closed till the 9th. They were closed last time when we went into a curfew as well. Plus we won’t be able to give biometrics until vfs opens again or allows it. Do you have whatsapp bro? we can keep in touch and keep ourselves updated

Vfs is closed as of 30th November. Should I start visa application and hope that they will open curfew by 9th or wait and see what happens on 9th and then apply

Though you submit your application it would take time to get an appointment for biometric. In my case I got appointment 14 days after my application submission day. But I don't know whether the high commission is processing applications during curfew. If they have work from home option.

Yeah idk whether they are. Not sure what to do but wait again.... either way it’s going to get stuck at the biometric stage/medical stage until the curfew is lifted and vfs opens

No GCMS note will indicate where your application lates status and the all detail regarding your application. example VO comments, all stages of eligibility. You can order online it will take 30 days to receive the documentation. Its a 43 page document. If your application is not moving anywhere for certain times. This is a good document to order to see your application status. There is no other way you can find out regarding your application status.

If you are asking that requesting Gcms Notes will have your file "come to notice" of the officer, then NO. Requesting Gcms Notes with have ZERO impact in terms of expediting your visa application
