@gashe,

Do you mean that in your case, it's been already over 90 days since you had submitted your passports at NVO?
Did you also submit RPRF Fee & updated contact no. or just the passport(s)?

After my medicals, I was asked to submit our Passports + RPRF Fee + Contact Numbers and it's been 30 days of silence after the submission.
I feel this on-going festive season might have slowed down the whole process.

I read in other threads (other VOs) where even after Medicals and PP submission, the cases got rejected for X-Y-Z reasons.
This caused a sort of anxiety wondering why would any VO calls for Passports, RPRF Fee etc. if the decision made was not in favor of applicants?

Let's hope and pray for the best news for everyone!

Hi Gashe,
Are you from Kenya?

I read in others posts that generally the PPs are returned with in 3 months of MEDICALS but this is not any rule.
Also it seems that there also exists regional preference of VOs which makes their working different from each other.

The biggest concern is if VO holds the PPs for long time and what if the applicant needs to travel in case of any urgency??

Lets keep praying.

I mean since the Passports are currently lying with VO, what if the applicant has an urgent need to travel Overseas??
This can be a worry.

Also it seems there are not many applicants with NVO...we don't see many posts/repluies as compared to other VOs.

I sent my documents for visa since September 2012, then I received a mail from Nairobi that an additional medical tests is needed. this medical test was sent in December, and since then, I haven't heard from them. Our passports are stuck there since September. I cross my fingers they will send the visa soon, I hope the same thing for you my friends

For once I thought that there is no applicant at NVO other than me and I'm walking just alone in the field unless I found a few more!

Well, I've been checking the processing speeds of other VOs, especially NDVO and LVO and there are fast movements there but NOV is just silent.

Seems NVO is still suffering from the fever of Christmas & New Year....... :-[!

we can just keep our fingers crossed..... :(

Seems NVO sensed our extent of curiosity and great uneasiness caused by this waiting period.

A few minutes after my last post here, I got a reply from NVO on my CSI that I had actually sent in December 2012.

"Good morning,
Your application is on the last stage of processing. You will be notified once processing is complete."


Now I've no idea what does this "last stage of processing" entails but it definitely means they are WORKING..!! :)

May GOD bless both NVO and the applicants with fruitful results of their efforts and patience.

Mr Rana,
Is your document treated in Nairobi too ? Let us know when you receive your passport
