I applied via New Portal

Congratulations! Quite the journey there! Quick question on the TRV, did you apply via GCKey or the New Portal?

Hey guys, I sent my passport to accra about three weeks ago. Just got an email from vfs that it's on the way back to me. However, my profile has not been updated with any decision yet. Is this normal?

Yes.

Hi Ketu, are you in Accra? Please I need to ask you a few questions. I am I Canada now but my sister is still waiting to receive her submitted passport to Accra Vfs since March 2022. I am really worried. Thanks as I await your response

 

[Ogobaby]

Please help me. I need advice/opinion on something. My sister submitted her passport to Accra vfs via Nigeria Vfs since March 2022. She got a mail saying Accra IRCC has received her passport and asked that her husband signs a document. Which he did but since that time she hasn't heard anything else from Accra IRCC or VFS. Is there anyway you think she can reach out?

 

[Ogobaby]

@armoured please I need your response

 

[armoured]

@armoured please I need your response

I don't have any specific info. Contact VFS, contact the visa office, try your MP.

Did you send your passport via the VFS office in Nigeria (I assume you are Nigerian) or you mailed it directly yourself to Accra?

Yep it's normal. Don't stress over it.

Hi all, I’m a long-time follower of this forum. I bring good news! My Ghanaian husband just got his passport request (May 2021 applicant; outland spousal sponsorship)!! He’s been approved! No interview required!

A couple questions to the group…

1. He needs to submit his passport at the Visa Application Centre in Accra. Do you need to make an appointment? (He’s going to call next week, but I was hoping someone here might know. We’re just so excited… bursting!)
2. How long has it been taking for Ghanaians (in Ghana) to get their passport back? We’re trying to mentally prepare for our next steps.

Here’s our timeline:

May 12, 2021 AOR1
June 25, 2021 AOR2
July 2, 2021 Sponsor approval
July 28, 2021 Started processing application
Oct 12, 2021 – Medical request (but they forgot to include the attachment in the email! It took 3 weeks and a few calls to my MP’s office to get the attachment. No biometrics required because he had done them for a previous application)
Nov 3, 2021 – Medical completed.
Nov 15, 2021 – “Medical results have been received”
Then nothing, nothing, nothing until yesterday…
Mar 4, 2022 – email with pre-arrival letter, then the passport request email, one after the other!!

It was a long wait, but he is finally approved. With God, are things are possible!!

Congratulations
