Hi. Does anyone know when eligibility is supposed to start? I actually have everything passed on my PR application but they aren't making a decision. Applied Oct 12 for a visitor visa but have not seen any updates at all

Hi,

When you raised webform for biometrics extension did you get any response? The only response we received was that the information has been forwarded to the responsible officer.
Based on your timelines looks like it was okay to have submitted the biometrics late.
Just the webform to let them know was enough?
Thanks

For my mom's case eligibility started & PPR received two weeks after bio-metric was completed. Good luck!
