Hi All, Here are my timeline from India. Hope it may help-

Super Visa for Parents (applied in Oct 2021) - Got rejected due to "Purpose of Visit" in March 2022.
Re-applied as Visitor Visa on 22nd March.
Biometric was already done for 1st application.
"Review Eligibility" updated on 23rd March.
Raised two webforms, both had same automatic response.
Visa got approved on 12th Sep,

Best of Luck to all March applicants who are eager to see their "Passport Submission Letter". March applications are processing now.

I applied on behalf of my parents who are in Pakistan in March. Nothing after biometrics. Raised webform twice and received replies just now for both of them. Strange thing is both replies are different.

This is so strange, why are they asking for all the documents and information to be submitted again in the 2nd reply?? I applied through the new portal, now I'm thinking if I should apply again using the old GC key portal.
