Hi everyone, I have some questions.
1) for the medical exam, how long does it take to get an appointment, or do you just do a walk-in? Did you take your pictures at Akai house or outside it and took your pictures to them?

they have 2 panel physicians and the immigration site for the medical, which one is best or do they all work fast enough ?

finally if your passport is requested, what’s the process? I’m especially interested in knowing which courier to use and how it is returned to you. Will they notify you of its return and will the courier contact you once it’s at your destination? Applicant is living with a friend now so the residential address is different now although he goes to the original address we used which is a mission house. I just hope it’ll be handed to him in person.

thanks for any answers

Any feedback please?
