We just got our Passport Request letters today. We have reached out to the LA VAC to see how to proceed with submitting our passports.

Anybody knows how many weeks it takes for us to get back the passport with the stamps ?
Do you also submitted education and previous work documents for your spouse's open work permit ?

My husband was the primary applicant for the ICT - and mine was the spousal open work permit..
We dint have to submit any documents for the spousal application.
It was only the primary's documents that we had to give.

Not sure if that congrats was for entering into the waiting game :D

Yes, it's my understanding that Urgent Request is for expedited processing. Back in June/July timeframe, another employee of my company got the Visa in a week once they submitted that form. I don't think that timeline applies to the current situation as we can see from my timeline so far.

May I know how to submit the request for expedited processing? Is this something that we can do or the lawyers need to do? I don’t have access to my online account as the lawyers are taking care of it.

Lawyer needs to do, but looks like its not guaranteed for faster process.

@SenCHI is right. Lawyers need to do it. I don't have access to my case as well.
