I think with the whole new visa office in Dar is a good thing as speeds up the process but its confusing for those who submitted their app before the whole new pilot program started. As when my file was transferred I got an email saying its transferred to Niarobi n now the website says Niarobi doesn't handle Tanzania files. So I wondered if they transferred my file from Niarobi to Dar. As I didn't received any letter saying file was transferred just know from ecas its in process. I guess I hv to wait n see which visa office requests for the pp.

I had emailed the NRB embassy and they asked me to send my passport to NRB so I'm guessing they transferred my application from DAR to NRB. Again, not sure how they are handling applications between DAR and NRB :(

.

Samji They transfered almost all Files from those countries. I knew it first from the GSM notes I ordered. then . Once dar embassy sent me a confirmation that they had updated my wife's adress.I had sent the request to Nairobi.I think they should have sent a notifications to all concerned files, that they were being transfered to Dar.anyway we hve no choice they are our masters.
