GCKey Application (Old Portal; wasn't aware of the new portal at the time of application)
Parents Visitor Visa Application from India:

Applied: 22 December 2021
BIL: 23 December 2021
Biometrics: 05 January 2022 (updated same day on the profiles)
Review Started: 13 or 14 January 2022
BVL & PPR: 20 January 2022 (exactly 15 days after Biometrics)

It is their first Visa application for any country.
Mother working (Govt employee) and Father retired (Govt job).
For anyone wondering about the efficacy of the old portal, It is working and you don't need to be scared and reapply in the new portal.
Just make sure that your documents are in order and updated.
Thank you to each and everyone of you who shares and who helps others. I hope everyone hears good news soon.

I sent my passport last Jan 30. Until now hindi pa dumating. You can add in your payment the SMS services kasi ite-text ka nila sa current status ng passport mo. When you had your biometrics, may 3/4 sheet doon na may instructions. Dun mo makikita kung saang address mo ipapadala and kung how much.
 
Hello. Meron po ba dito nagapply ng October na naghhintay pa ng approval? I applied for my parents on Oct 4th but wala pa ding update. I am contemplating if I should reapply sa new portal. Any advice? Thank you.
