Hi Nira,
Welcome to the forum.
I did my medicals on 15th March 2012, but the request was sent to me on 22nd February 2012. And they asked for the PCC too and I gave it little bit late not due to my fault. It was Police officers fault. But still no news from the CHC.Waiting and waiting ..... By the way did u apply through an immigration consult?
Regards,
Dilu

Hi everyone,
Can someone pls tell me how are they going to request for the passports? Is it by calling or mailing? And will they call my personal number or contact the immigration consult?
is there any way a person who has applied through an immigration consult to go the CHCC personally ,and handover the passports when they request for stamping?
Seniors Pls let me know.
Dilu :'(

Passports can be requested via email/telephone/post but agin it depends on few factors. If you are in Sri Lanka high chances to get a call to submit PP. If you are in abroad most of the time it would be via email. Certain cases it might come through ordinary post too. That's why it always important to keep VO updated about changes to your postal address/email/contact.
In my case im in abroad & most of the time I get my correspondence via email from Colombo VO.


Thanks,
Aran

Following to Aran's response to your question, If you have a consultant on file most probably he/she might be notified before the applicant. However it depends on what you have stated on your application. Even if you have a consultant you can choose to keep your self as the first contact too.
No matter what where you live in the world, you must appear in person to handover the Passport for the Visa. It is not allowed to send Sri Lankan passports via mail or courier. (Severe penalties will apply by local authorities and CHC does not accept as well) However if you can give your concent to some one by a written statement (could be your consultant/relative/friend) another person can appear at the CHC on your behalf too.
Those who are in Sri Lanka can appear personally to handover the passports and pick up on the same day evening!

it appears , that Dilu,Nira , chandika38 (not sure ) and myself are , all 2008 applicants , and all of us have completed our meds in and around march 2012.
Seniors believe PPR will be between 3-5 months period time ,hence taking the worst case scenario , it got to be around August .

p.s having said , it all depends on the individual case , for example , in my case it should take longer than others as i have lived and travelled in few different countries. so i'm mentally prepared for another 3 months waiting period , please share your thoughts on this.
