Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Abayomi1111]

Good day!

Has anyone who got PPR submitted passport to Lagos VAC recently? If yes how did you go about it?

 

[Goodiesville]

You can try your MP.

But at this point it should mostly be waiting , and hopefully not long. I doubt there would be interview or addl document request after the pre-arrival services letter.

We heard back from our MP yesterday and the update is that background and security check has not started.

Is it possible to have received pre-arrival with this checks not being completed?

How long does it take to complete these checks once started?

Please if anyone has any idea.

My understanding is that this is pretty normal. The security and background checks may be in process even though it says not started (just the way they work).

No-one can say how long, though, it might take.

Hello everyone,
I will be getting married later in the year. I want to know if doing registry or court wedding is compulsory or will the marriage certificate from my religious organization suffice?

Depends on country. It must be a legally-valid wedding in the country where performed, at minimum. (Some additional complications for certain countries.)

In a lot of countries, a religious marriage would have to be registered with civil authorities, and that would be part of documentation. But check the country-specific requirements.

It sounds like just delays updating (with interim steps where they are updating). Honestly would just wait for a bit - a week or so - and see if it changes again.

The medical updates and 'approvals' seem to be all over the place, likely just because not many of the medical officers / they have other tasks.

Pre-arrival is a good sign and probably just a matter of time now.

Thanks for your response and encouragement. I passed my medicals today.

Thank you. I truly hope this is the case.

Is anyone still waiting for PPR who submitted in March 2020?

What is your timeline?

This thread has been awfully quiet. Has MR been sent out to any Jan 2021 applicants?

Wow there was MR this week. I only hope there is someone to explain how the team works. Is this Dec applicant you referring to also using the AVO. I have received the Pre Arrival Services but no MR yet. And a June 2020 applicant. Please anyone to shed light on this. I was even thinking they were not sending MR this month. But surely the MR was sent on 7 June?
