Today my partner received her passport submission letter and we made an appointment in Bangalore VAC for Friday 6th February.

We got her pre-arrival letter October 2025.

She submitted her medical Jan 2026.

Congrats , and what is timeline ?

Thank you for your response, we are in same boat i think, I submitted my pr march 2023, and I got my pr card December 1st, and today I received the pre arrival for my overseas dependent, so I don't know what is the next steps and how long would be taken to get the pass request, so fingers crossed

REALLY

This is very normal. Processing only starts when primary applicant gets approves except as part of the pilot program and there is a large backlog.
