Guys,

Is Smart Card considered a National Identity Document in India? I heard this is a new ID introduced by the government in India. I believe my spouse has one of these cards.. should I include that in the IM0008 forms in the "National Identity document"?

Thanks
 
yes it is. the same can be included along with other id proofs.

Congrats ashunandal...
 
In regards to send Passport after few days, Please note that It won't affect anything to your Case. But make sure that whatever documents you send it has to be 100% and if possible write them a letter with all the details and whatever you are enclosing.

Does anyone know if chc new Delhi receive courier on sat sundays
 
Hey everyone!

Sorry for being missing from the forum. I was really busy with my husband and then finally yesterday, I got some sleep!!

Anyway- another update for me after decision made on my entire case... they put my husband's address in Canada on my ECas sign in. My address was there put in. I think that's a new thing that ND is doing now, they don't put the applicants address anymore, so those of you who have NO address listed under your log in, DO NOT WORRY!

I will let you know as soon as my passport comes in. They will deliver it to my grandmother's house in New Delhi- since I live in the US.

Good luck to everyone who are still waiting. If it has been 5 months and you want to know what's going on- I would suggest you to order CAIPS notes or to speak to an MP- it really helps!

@Vengat, let us know what the MP says about your case!!

Hi All,

Good news from my side - My wife received her PP + visa today. :) At last the wait is over.

Ecas status had changed to Decision Made from Application Recd this sunday and today she received PP+visa. Ecas never became In-Process, it directly went to Decision Made from Application Recd.

I had sent my application on Jan 3, 2012, so the total time from application sent to visa received is 128 days which is not bad at all considering few others who have been waiting for much longer. Also, my wife has a travel history to multiple countries but not for long duration. Just couple of weeks, vacation-holidaying with family. So I think they waived extensive BC.

Thank you all for your help and Best of Luck for all those waiting. I hope everyone gets their visas soon.

Please let me know if anyone wants any further information from me.

Thanks!

Hi Sunrise,

My husband's application shows "Decision Made" today as well. But they never sent him any email, did you or your wife get an email? Or was her passport just sent in mail?
