Sadly my mom's medical has expired. First time, she had to do all regular tests + sputum test. She had to travel to a different region for the sputum test. Will she have to repeat sputum test again 2nd time? She is a senior widow, living alone. Due to COVID-19 in India, it will be very risky and impossible to travel to another region.
It depends. If there is no change in her x-ray this time, she won't be requested to do sputum test again. My dad did sputum test for the 1st time as well and they didn't require him to do sputum test for the 2nd time.

How do I add my newborn baby to my parent's PGP application? I think it is required to update the application but I am not sure how to do that. Any suggestions.

Sorry if this is a daft question but can we use the same photos for the passport request letter (COPR) that were used in the original application about two years ago or do we have to have new ones taken? Thanks.
Congratulations. You need to send in recent photos that are not more than 6 months old.

You must be aware that New Delhi Visa office is closed now due to covid situation. Wait for few months and they will start processing your parents' application.

You need to send a webform informing them that you (sponsor) had a newborn baby. Send copy of baby’s birth certificate with it.

This is so annoying. I don't know when they will be back in the office.

Hi everyone. Just have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. My parents are visiting USA/Canada soon and assuming they get biometrics and medical exam request letter while they are here:
1. Can ParentS do their biometrics in USA/Canada if their closest VAC is in different country?
2. Same question for medical exam. Can you do it outside of your home country
3. How do you know where your case is being processed?

thanks
