Hi all,

I did not see a thread about this (apologies if there is one).

When did you receive the Pre Arrival Letter? What VISA Office? When did you receive the DM? When did you receive the passport request?

Here are mine:

Pre-Arrival letter : 25th of January 2021
DM:
Passport Request:

Visa Office:
London

UK - The point of this was more to focus on Pre-Arrival to next steps as I have seen alot of different answers form people
À lot of variance for some reason. A month or two not unusual, but in other cases comes quickly. Unfortunately longer also possible.

Hence the thread!

Helps people manage expectations! When I first received it, I started packing haha but then realized it might still be a while.

We received pre-arrival on 30th January 2021 and then received pre-arrival on February 13th. We're now just patiently awaiting PPR & COPR. (PA is from the UK, visa office is LVO).

Hello

I have a question recently my husband was called for an interview and yesterday we got pre arrival, does that mean our file is approved?
