Will do
There really is no guarantee how long it will be from the time it goes to in process until they request your passport. Everyone is different, but to give you an idea of my personal experience - they requested RPRF (which we had paid at the time of application) & new police check on March 8 (was a Saturday). I emailed them about their error on payment right away and Hubby went on the Monday to get the 1 day police check done in Kingston. That was sent in on Wednesday. On March 18th, they emailed requesting Hubby's passport at about 5pm. They had requested a meds extension but hadn't got it yet, so they called hubby a couple days later and asked if he could land on or before the current ones expired on April 9, so naturally he said YES MA'AM! Passport was returned by DHL and we flew home together (I had a trip to see him planned already) on March 31.
Interestingly, and I am not sure how many people have ordered their notes after hubby has landed, but I did and when I look at the timeline - it actually took only about 20 minutes for them to look at our file, put in a note that says yes, we believe relationship is genuine, okay to issue VISA and email sent to request Passport - it sat in our case for 10 months on a shelf only for them to take a total of about 20 minutes to review it! Ours was pretty straight forward, but still, 10 months of waiting for them to only need 20 minutes to determine our fate!
