Gents just got this letter from PVO. I need help in understanding this. My queries:
1. Is this good news/bad news? Where do I stand?
2. Right of Permanent Residence Fee? What is this? I have already paid an initial fee when I applied. Is this an indication we are through?
3. Why they didn't send me medical request as I saw some people getting MR mentioned within this letter.
4. What's the deal with 8 months?
Also important point to note for everyone waiting for their emails. I had sent them an inquiry online and within 1 week I got this reply. So if you haven't contacted them recently then I would say shake them up and maybe you will get such email as well.
