Hi everyone!
I received a correspondence letter for biometrics on July 13th. When do you think I’ll get an answer? I applied for a visitor visa from Canada on May 7th.
Thank you

My time line is similar to yours, but I received correspondence on may 6th, since then no update, I applied for gcms and it shows my file approved on may 6th itself, they are holding passport request purposely, so we have to wait until VFS back in track....
