Hi All...
After a long wait (221 days - 7months and 11days), I received the request to send passports...today 8.44am ET
I started this journey in late 2014 when I did the then paper application which was returned due to NOC Cap. In the regret letter, I was advised to wait and apply via EE in 2015. I replied in September 2015 but had to go through the 'Nomination process' since with my wife and kids, I could not get more than 450points to be selected in the round of invitations... I was nominated in April 2016... See my timeline below;
I should be celebrating this stage but I have a long 'story of my life' - it looks like the hardest part is only beginning. I will tell the story tomorrow.... meanwhile, my timelines below:-
