New York has had my husbands passport for 15 business days... how much longer are we going to have to wait?!
Hang in there! I know you've been waiting so long, you're almost there though, don't worry, it will come. We sent ours through London from Dublin & it took around a month before we finally got it back! Maybe tomorrow ;)

It seems I'm not alone. I received the passport request by email. Overnighted and CIC New York received it on March 10th. We still have not received our passports back :(

ritosgirl, it seems our timelines are similar.

Yay, Congrats KL8N!

The rest will not be far behind, I'm sure of it! :)

When is everyone hoping to move by? We got my husbands passport back a couple weeks ago but we're not moving til June 18th. Flights are booked! It's all starting to feel real! What an ordeal though....
I wonder if the immigration officers have a sense of how big this whole experience is for us. It sucks having to leave your future in someone else's hands!

I just got an e-mail from London saying that they sent my passport back on march 29.
Which means it's been 15 days in transport right now.....i sure hope it isn't lost.

Hi dear, :)

Oh...my goodness! I'm very glad to hear from another Sri Lankan applicant. Well,my husband inquired about the application last month and was told that it had passed the paper screening stage and in queue for a selection decision and background review. We expect the selection stage will be attended within the course of next 2-3 months from now. We were not asked to submit any kind of communicational details though. However, husband tried to hand over some of our phone records and e-mails last week and was told he would be contacted if they need any additional docs and info. I hope they contact him soon regarding his police certificate since it expired few months ago.

Could you please tell me whether you received an AOR from the CHC Colombo?

Wish you all the best!
Sulo.

Got passport request letter on April 2 and sent in passport to Seoul visa office April 5.
I got a text from the courier company that I will get my passport (+ VISA) back within today (April 14) :D
We've already booked tickets for June - I can't wait to go home and see my friends and family again!
I will keep checking the forum and hopefully will be able to help others who are in similar situations in the future.
Good luck everyone who is still waiting!
