Hey guys, I just wanted to give you an update that everything on my online account got updated today in the morning and my application has been approved. Here is my final timeline in case anyone missed previous messages:
Applied paper based at VFS Lahore: June 21
Upfront Medical: June 12
Linked application online: June 25
Medical updated to passed: June 26
Medical Status Change to no medical Required: June 28
Medical Request despite upfront medical: July 7
Webform and email submitted to link upfront Medical and response received on: July 14
Medical passed online: July 14
Biometrics correspondence letter: July 28
Email to submit Passport without any letter or update on GC account: August 8
Passport Submitted: August 9
Online account updated with TRV issuance and expiry date of visa: August 16.
A few things I wanted to point out, it mentioned the following:
July 7, 2019 Your eligibility has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below. (this is when I received my medical request) so it looks it was reviewed long ago
June 21, 2019 Your background check was completed. (even though I submitted my app on June 21, so I don't think it's possible to have background updated on same day) I guess it's just a glitch that they have and things get updated all at once..
Now just waiting for the passport to be returned.
Wishing the best for all of you inshaAllah
