Now the long wait begins my friend. I applied in July as well, passport sent in September, and till date no updates. We have 1 more month to go before we hear anything, and maybe 2 months before our visas get issued, if we're lucky. Next, our files will go into "in process", then "decision made", then you will receive your passport back in the mail with your visa stamped into itbinaya123 said:
They are random, some people get it in one week, some have to wait for 1 month. The postal workers were on strike, don't know if their strike is over yet or not, so that might delay your passport as wellMahi_Milaa_De said:
NDVO does not acknowledge the receipt of passport. If your mailing service that you used can give you a tracking number, you can find out if NDVO has received it or not. As for time frame, submission of passport is the initial process and so it takes almost 8 to 12 months (more if you are unlucky, less if you are lucky). So wait (not sure about your timeline..normally passport is requested within a month or two after the file transfer so I am assuming you were a June/July applicant..if June then they have started processing now..if it is july wait for some more time). Don't worry about medicals. They extend it based on the timeline and where your application stage at that time. You need their letter to do your medicals again.binaya123 said:
it takes them 30 - 40 days to respond..if your application is within normal processing time then they send out a generic response ' your file is within normal processing time'..I sent out 7 case specific inquiry only ended up getting one response saying..you guessed it...'your file is within normal processing time'aroundwrd99 said:
