Hi Everyone,

The PA just got invitation to pre-arrival message on GC key. The letter is just a standard letter and outlines what pre-arrival services are available, how to enroll, etc.

Does this letter mean anything in terms of application status (i.e how far the application has progressed)?

Wish everyone all the very best with thier application!

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. That's great news! :D But the PA has not yet given biometrics due to closed VAC in India. And also if we get PPR the VACs are still closed, so not sure how PP can be submitted?

Also, on the GC key nothing has changes under eligibility check & background check.

You could try to get ahead of it by providing that information via webform, ideally with fully updated form, or at least info. May not work but worth a try.

If in doubt can write not applicable (if clearly not applicable) or attach letter of explanation why not completed. Not a great idea to not fill out parts, they mostly aren't optional (there are some that are not applicable but that's differnt).
Would you suggest I do the same if I haven't written names down in native language?
Form is otherwise fully complete with all details - addresses etc - duly filled and signed. All my documents were in English and not in Native Language - so wrote my name only in English as well.

Hi, so your application moved swiftly even after non submission of biometrics due to closed VFS.
Congratulations for your approval.

Make sure you enter 2+dependants (including sponsor) when asked for "Number of family members, including the primary applicant, that are part of this application".

I am able to link the application on GC key even without AOR, BIL...just got ADR
