    I know one of my colleague who got the passport back after 3 months. It's upto them. I sent my passport to them immediately and they took the time. But now a days, I don't think it will take more than 3 weeks.

    I don't understand why we are making it complicated!!!!!! Cap was filled on September and any application reached after that will be returned. The cap was supposed to be reset on 5 November and I am 100% sure it did. So, any application reached after 5 November will be processed. I don't think...

    Hi everyone, I have landed this Sunday and with that my immigration journey came to an end. It was really a pleasant experience to be a part of this forum. When I started this forum about 14 months ago, I never thought I will be so helpful and active! But after 3635 posts and 229098 views of...
