Ok Thanks Charlie. It would cost about $700 each way on the bus plus a 4 hour drive cause my husband lives in hanover so just planning the best way.

Thanks again!

Good night Forum Fam,

Hope everyone and their families are doing well! Congrats to everyone on all the updates especially to CHARLIED Yayyyyy! It's over girl, super happy. You all are such beautiful, strong women and this process just makes us stronger...let's hold on, I believe it will soon be over!!

So, I want to know what you guys think. I emailed KGN because I have some addt'l docs I wanted to send and I was having trouble attaching the documents to the email, I asked them if I should even bother to mail in the stuff b/c it will take 3-4 weeks to get there and I did not know what the status of my application was. They responded with this...


Dear Sir/Madam,

This refers to your email below.

Your application is in process. You can send the documents by mail. Once a decision is made the applicant will be advised.


Do you think they would use the term "IN PROCESS" if it was still "APPLICATION RECEIVED" on ecas? Nothing has changed on my ecas either...just wondering what your take is on this.

Wow you actually got a response? I've emailed them 3 times and they've never emailed me back. Even after the 30 days passed.

Hey, LHNB! Thanks, very excited to be moving to the next phase.

Remember, eCAS is not reliable and not updated unless your IO feels like, LOL. What they say in the email is more likely to be accurate, and I would go with that instead. Remember, mine sat at "application received" for 9 months, and when it changed to "in process" they had already sent the med re-do request, so obviously they had already started processing it even while it was at "received"! I think KG changes eCAS (if they remember) after the fact, not even during or when they actually get ready to start that phase. I still haven't seen "medicals received" on mine, and my visa is ready, haha!

Hey Tintin, I think the way to get a response from them is to include in your email that you would like to make some sort of change/addition to your file. Someone mentioned that in the Singapore discussion board...that every time they said that when emailing thier VO, they got a response to their email!

LOL, suki. We got buckets of rain earlier, I thought for sure the bacchanal people were going to be flooded out. However, it has stopped now and a lovely late afternoon sun is shining and they are still partying down the road. :p
