WARSAW TIMELINE-Join here !!
- Thread starter Diana-Armenian
- Start date
It's now called gcms notes, still $5. Definitely order that. If it is one year, definitely contact your MPs office.
What have you got so far in your application? Any communication?
Start with polite and ask for more info, where the file is. Try warsaw, try the main one, but MP is your better bet of kicking things out of the dusty pile. You should do all of these, none of them are a guarantee.
Instructions here:

MP: member of parliament. Go with the one for the riding/district where one of you lives, where you intend to live, or where your family/friends live.
The lockdown in Poland is definitely or most likely going to lead to some dead silence from WVO. File transfer Feb 21 and no correspondence since then from IRCC or the WVO.Seems like this thread is dead like Warsaw office
My wife finally got her passport request today
I guess she needs to send her passport to VFS? I thought I remember someone in this forum telling that it is faster to send directly to the Warsaw Embassy?

Follow the instructions in the letter. Sending to Warsaw embassy probably is not possible anymore as it was a measure due to VFS being closed at the time. Also Warsaw is in lockdown so your passport may get stuck in limbo if you send there.
Despite my complaints, VFS wasn't that bad in the end. There was a delay at VFS end - first few weeks were probably particularly bad - but once it was with VFS complete it was okay. Basically count on a couple of weeks.My wife finally got her passport request today

One warning - worst of the delay was my fault, wrong photo size. The photo size required is different than for visas/passports. Check the requirements carefully and specifically. If it hadn't been for that all would have been okay since most everything apart from photos they'll accept by email. (Make sure the email they need to send stuff to is clear and you check regularly)
Other complications were mostly around the fact that we were submitting for spouse and kids. VFS gives terrible instructions about what needs to be in a copy for each individual and fees per person (as opposed to 'per package'). If it is just the one person it will be more straightforward.
Anyway good chances that the kinks have been worked out and it's not like the international courier companies are fun to work with either (or at least all over the place). Domestic courier companies - especially within Moscow - are fast and cheap with great service.
And congrats and good luck!
Never hurts to write. Don't worry though, under the circumstances it's normal. It sucks but things are slow.

I don't post on here much since we won't be dealing with the Warsaw office.
The update on our case is that our rep finally recived the blue book. Now we wait to see if our case will be accepted for the ADR process.

I'd use the web form. Ensures that you input the right info to get case specific answers
we submitted the web form a week ago. there is no response or any progress. we thought to write to the email too. but we doubt it, because we don't want to be very annoying
