True.....now they are prioritising Jan intake I guess.....it's been more than 9 months now still waiting for passport request......only update after AIP was medical redo on Nov 6 and got passed on GC key on Nov 11....still waitingNo updates yet. Was so annoyed that I sent them a couple of webforms asking them to process it saying I received my aip in August and my second term starts next week. I suggest you guys do the same coz a lot of Jan intakes have already got their passports back from Delhi embassy while we are just stuck here
