Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[labelle]

Thanks all for the congratulatory messages, u shall all get your PPR soon by Gods grace.

 

[Dele]

Hi Dele,
My medical expires 15/11/2016 and I was told to make sure I travel before then. When will yours expire?

Mine expires on the 26th of this month :-(

 

[mandiebraxton]

For all those asking about re-medicals, sometimes AVO requests applicants to re-do medical when the initial medical is about to expire. AVO can choose to go ahead and issue the visa giving the applicant a very limited time to land (as is the case of Labelle and others) or request another medical. If they have asked you for re-medical, PLS DO SO ASAP....your PPR beckons.

Hello friends, just got a mail for Accra saying my visa is ready to be issued. I am soooo happy. I am a December 21 applicant. @Dele, what's up with yours?

Congratulations Labelle..
