Hello,

My wife applied for spousal open work permit from Nepal (processing in New Delhi) in September.

Sep 16 - Paper application with biometric from VFS
Sep 20 - Application received
Sep 27 - Linked paper application online
Nov 1 - Got medical request
Nov 7 - Medical approved
Nov 11 - Correspondence of biometrics

We have not had any updates since then. We sent a webform two weeks ago, but haven't heard back yet.

How long does it usually take after medical exam? Is this normal? Should we send another webform? We thought it would normally only take 1-2 days after correspondence of biometrics letter.

We found the application number after we linked the paper application online (sep 27). We did not receive any email about it. The first email we received was the medical request, which also has the application numbers.

Congratulations! I think that's the normal process. Something has definitely happened to our application. I don't know if it's something in our application or some issue at their end. Fingers crossed for this week.

We just entered the information we already had in the passport. Note that it didn't work at first. We tried a couple of time each day and it only worked after over a week. So maybe keep trying.

Thanks, it’s been two weeks now, so I’m sure it’s there. However, I think we’re entering wrong combination due to which not able to connect. My husband doesn’t has last name on his passport, though his application form has only family name and no given name. Also, we’ve a registered lawyer so I’m not sure what we should do to make this happen.
