Congratulations, you at least know it has been approved which is good! Which country are you applying from? Which category?

Also, can you please let us know how to apply for GCMS notes?

It is very long. It says the counterfoil is authorized and notes the officer put says he’s satisfied with my situation.

This gives me so much hope. Our lawyer told us that usually passport request is received along with the biometrics correspondence letter. Which of course wasn't received in our case. But knowing that a decision has been made (positive, hopefully), is still good news.

Not sure why they are holding back passport requests, my wife's biometric correspondence letter was issued on 9th July. We have no update since.

It might be because my visa center is Los Angeles instead of New York. Los Angeles will be closed indefinitely. Zzz
