Hus help me,how did u submit?at what time how s the procedure to submit additional documents
Hi Saina,
When we were requested to submit additional documents we submitted via case specific inquiry(as soon as we received the documents) as well as we sent original documents via registered mail to the Colombo Visa Office. This way we know for sure they can't reject us for failure to submit required documents :).

I answered to similar question a while ago. Not sure if you were the one who asked. Total processing time for Sri Lanka is 13 months so from the date you filed your application expect to get the visa within 13 months. This is of course true if there is no complication with your case. If there is any red flag or interview required, expect it to take more than 13 months. We filed ours 13 months ago and still waiting to hear from them.
