someone asked a person who climbed Everest so many times as what made him climb Mt.Everest so many times...he said 'because it's there'.....similarly it is ingrained in a government office culture that they simply take their time for no reason...why does a dog chases its own tail? because he wants to..why does my dog after feeding expensive food his stomach full goes to the street trash can? because he just wants to...why do I write all these words of wisdom? just like that... for no reason

Hi,

I joined this forum today. Is it quite normal for NDVO to request the applicant's passport in the early stages of spouse sponsorship?

Here are some of the details:

Application filed: Oct 25, 2013
Sponsorship approved: Nov 14, 2013
Passport request: Nov 26, 2013
Medicals have already been submitted upfront.
Application Status as on Dec 07, 2013: Application received.


Seems like they would hold the passport for the next 12 months :(
it's quite normal to hold passport for NDVO and it is leaning towards 'it is quite normal not to ask for passport in the early stages' also...everything is normal in what NDVO does..if you take that approach you will maintain your sanity
