My husband immediately rushed to his MP who posted an email to NDVO asking for whether the passport be sent or they make a second request. MP assured to give feedback by Tuesday.
Our experience with this MP had been very good. The last time also when we approached him, he contacted NDVO on our behalf and NDVO also promptly replied back to his email.
So we are now waiting for the MP reply which will come by the next two days. if it takes long or nothing definite comes from his reply, I shall send the PPR without any further delay.
Yes, my experience with my area MP was also really good. The first time we requested MP to make an inquiry on our behalf, they did so promptly, and NDVO replied within 1 or 2 days. However, that was back in March. But this time, in May when we asked them to do another inquiry due to the missed communication situation, they once again sent communication to NDVO, asking the same questions that you are asking. But NDVO has not been responding these days. Actually, they sent back a completely stock reply saying, "cases take 10 months," with absolutely no reference to my case, and completely useless.
My MP actually has a contact directly in the Minister's office, who is the Minister's assistant. She actually recommended not sending the passport until it is requested. However, as per the GCMS notes, we know they had requested the PP, so after waiting a while we ended up sending it anyway.
Our immigration consultant also strongly recommended that we send the passport without delay.
