Here is the good news....
My DD got charged on Feb 27. Application was delivered on Dec 8th 2014 for NOC 2281.
(I was totally down by reading this discussion that the cap for 2281 is reached. But when I have also tried calling +16139444000 for confirming I was never able to get connected.)
VNair, stay cool. I think your DD would have got charged by now. Check with your bank. Else check your credit card statement for good news if you applied with CC.
Senior, please suggest how many days it will take approximately to receive PER after the DD charging??
