Do you need to close bank accounts (not NRE/NRO) and investment accoutns in India before surrendering your passport?

Is there any way to track passport stamping?

How did you submit your passport?Are VFS centres open?

Yes. On the new portal. But, I had also submitted the first application in July 2020, and it was never processed.

How to submit passport to VFS? Are VFS locations in India allowing walkins to submit passport or do you need to have an appointment? Also, is there any courier service to submit?

Applied - 9 March PPR - 15 March

Same here, but from Mumbai. Waiting for guidance.

You applied for 1.5 years on a Visitors visa? Try for 20 days and state family reunion. You might get approved. Better still to apply for SOWP and kids TRV.

Applied - 9 March 2022 PPR - 15 March 2022 Had first applied in July 2020, which was not processed till now. Any idea, if Mumbai VAC is allowing walkins to submit passport? Or do we have to make an appointment? Is it possible to do by courier?

Did you take a decision on how to proceed with this?

I had not paid the biometric fee earlier, and I received the reminder to pay it today. Should I pay it or should I rely on the online website which says that we do not need to submit biometrics during covid?

How did you receive the application number? Was it by email or post?

People here mentioning that their application was 'received' on a particular date, are you mentioning the details from your courier tracking page? Or have you received communication from IRCC for it? Also, how are people receiving biometric letter communication? Is it through email or post or...

Do we receive any email from IRCC when they receive our documents? How long does it take generally. My courier was delivered on 12 Dec, but no email yet.

Couriered yesterday. Delivered today.
