I will answer all the questions here:Have you sent a special email to speed up your application ?
1. I sent them emails telling them I am stuck in limbo and need them to give me any update at all. I actually posted my email on this forum before. Scroll back a few pages and you will find it. I sent it to everyone even the press in Canada, but I think the one that made a difference was the email to the high commissioner in Singapore.
2. I received standard re-med request in my account with a new IME form + an email from SGVO.
My impression is that they will process everybody starting early 2022. I hope they won't delay any further.
