    OCI process

    This comment saved me a lot of hassle. I went ahead and booked an appointment at BLS Mississauga as well for the next day literally (lucky me for getting the appointment right away) and they didn't ask for any affidavit.

    Supervisa for Parents (January 2024 Timeline)

    I applied for my mother's super visa in January but the progress bar hasn't moved at all. Her biometrics are updated from the past but no movement to the completion bar at all and it's been 1.5 months now. Any idea why would that be?
