Hey "shakeadn " my visa also received letter from the NDVO on 19 Sep, and I also applied on 8th Aug..so we have the same dates of processing , how much fees did u paid while applying, I guess if you paid fill i.e 1040, then I guess u don't have to pay anything, just need to submit the passport with the letter...let me know if u get any info on this..my wife will be sending her passport on Monday. Seems like things are moving faster now, not sure how much time it takes for the visa..when NDVO already have passports of people from starting of this year..its confusing.
