Hi guys, this is for my parents trv.. we have received biometrics correspondence letter stating biometrics validity yesterday. When can v expect final decision on the visa? How many days has it taken for someone who got their visa approved recently?

Hi there, please advise where ur parents r coming from?
We have also applied for my mother in law’s visitor visa from India? I am in my 9th month of pregnancy & applied 4 months ago but stuck as biometrics are still not open in India since March

Unfortunately you need to have a plan B. Personally I don't believe the offices will be open until the rates of covid get better in India. There is now a huge backlog of caaes from India so processing times will be quite long once theg open.

Applied from India.. the purpose of their visit was to visit us as I was expecting baby in July.. now my baby is already 3 months old, I just recently got a biometrics correspondence letter.. be well prepared as mostly getting visa for ur mil in couple of days may be tough.

May I know if u got any update?
Hola. No I haven't received it yet :( and you? I got that letter 4 weeks ago. I wrote a webform to the Embassy and they made an automatic reply saying they'll answer 28 work days after but only if the time of processing exceeds the normal processing time (which grows up weekly)

No update yet. It's been 2 weeks now. Heard we can get the final decision on gcms notes even before they update online on our application. I applied for the same couple of days back. However, normally it takes atleast a month to get gcms notes. Keeping fingers crossed to get positive update soon. Plz update once u receive any update. I will also do so.

Good update guys! after all this wait I finally got my passport request for the tourist visa today!!! :) I can go to join my husband!!! we feel very happy.
TRV application sent: june 26, 2020
Biometrics validity leter: september 30, 2020
Passport request: october 29, 2020

My country is Venezuela. My biometrics validity letter came from Turkey, my passport request came from Embassy in Mexico.
I had a refusal of a TRV last year and my biometrics were done last year so I didn't need to give it new.
I applied through a lawyer. We've sent many inquiries and webforms asking about it many times, maybe it helped to expedite it.
I have a spousal sponsorship application in progress (in early stage waiting to receive AOR1)
Good luck!

Where do we check which embassy is processing our application. In my biometrics validity letter, I could see cpc Ottawa. Does that mean, my application is being processed in Canada?
