Great news Ashley.
If you go to DHL, it is situated vis a vis the MRA at Port Louis. It is easy.

Hi Ashley!ashley0591 said:Hello Phoenix1234,
Thank you very much
Hello kokonatsu,
I notice that we have a similar timeline, you will soon receive a passport request..
I just hope they don't keep the passport for too long..
Thats great Bayaboo. Congrats. Hope all goes fast for you. Just over 8 months from app datebayaboo said:Hi everyone,
Just want to let you know that after a long wait, we finally join the ranks of others before us. My wife got an email today requesting for her passport.
We received our GCMS notes a few days ago, but there was no real useful information in it. It basically showed that not much had been done on our file. Maybe they worked on it in the last few days.
In any case I am super happy because we were starting to get a bit frustrated.
By the way, our ECAS still shows Application Received, and they never acknowledged receipt of our medicals either. Just some info so that if you are in that situation, it doesn't necessarily mean that your application is not being processed. Some visa officers maybe just don't bother updating the online status.
I wonder how long they'll take after receiving the passport. I'm sure I will find out soon enough through your updates!
Cheers,
Bayaboo

Hi Camelboy, I created a spreadsheet tracking all the Nairobi applicants. See Here. http://1drv.ms/1pOm3Zb I am not seeing long wait times from passport request to visa issued. Are there applicants that you know of that they are holding passports for such a long time? I hope they are not doing that, because that can cause many issues with peoples plansCamelboy said:Hey guys
Being a silent reader for a while.
I was wondering why some people get early passport request ? is it because some Visa officers like to hold passports in advance ? any ideas? It seems some applicants their passport were held for more than 6 months, some people may need their passport to travel and it seems they don't care.
