Hi all
Does anyone have an idea on why Colombo visa office is taking so long?
How long do we have to wait for medical request after file transfer?
And how long for passport request after passing medicals?

It's been almost 50 days since my file was transferred, no updates at all. Feeling very down and worried :/

I believe No one can answer your questions.
We are all hoping that our files can move faster.

I am also waiting for the medical after file transfer to Colombo (almost 50 days) and I see couple of people waiting to hear passport request after passing medicals.

@yoge as as a senior member are you able to guide me to how long we have to possibly wait. July 2018 applicant...file transferred to colombo on nov 15, started processing nov 23rd. We got medical request on dec 18 which we did on dec 26. Ever since nothing. I ordered gcms notes and it doesnt reflect any movement at colombo office at all.

Any ideas?

Oh i am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to join your spouse soon.
The wait is really difficult so will see where it leads us.
 
Will we get an acknowledgement from the visa office after file transfer? Via mail?

We didn't. We got a letter from CPC-Sydney that file has been sent to Colombo. If you check PA side on ECAS it should say:

1. We received your application on ...
2. We started processing your application on...

The 2nd line is an indicator that visa office has begun processing and received the file
