No vijay1987 , we haven't heard anything from VFS since then. I called VFS yesterday and they said its normally take 3-5 days to get the passport back. its been 5 working days already so i don't know whats the reason for delay now. I can no longer access my sponsor's status online. just my wife's processing details in Colombo. its showing Decision Made . IT seems take long time to stamp or else , even after decision made. Do anyone knows the time range for stamping after the Passport receivedvijay1987 said:

hi,suthatheone said:
Its a long story ill say it in short
Im from 2012 applicant refused 2014 adn gave 2 years ban for misreprestation... we filed an appeal and we got date for hearing on jan 2016 its almost 2years so v thought to withdraw the cass and apply new so v withdraw after 2 or days days i askd my original documents which i submitted early when they requestd.
At tat time they said they wil reopen my file again and continue to process on jan 2016.
At tat time they request me to submite medical , police clearance and scheudle A form. I submitted on feb 28 after that i didnt hear anything on my file..
Last month i ordered gcms notes... Eligibility has passed before my application refused others still not started.
I am still confised how come they gave me 2years ban and appeal date they gave is after 2 years..
Now they reopened by themselve ....their process is weired and not convincing.

Hi Rainbow21, They requested for the Alterations and Observation pages from my passport in April, which I submitted the following day. They didn't show any updates on my ECAS about receiving it either, I think it's normal because I've seen a lot of people in the forums asking the same question.
madurajb, Congrats on receiving the passport! I'm happy somebody in the Sri Lanka forums is bringing us some good news! Wishing you and your wife the best!
vijay1987, That's a long time to be apart! I hope that you get your passport request very soon. My husband and I have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years so I understand your situation. I hope the visa office becomes more efficient and grants us our visas within the next few weeks.
