Hi all,
Received PPR yesterday.
June 2019 applicant

Did they ask you to send family passport?

 

[Hunarnamiq]

family got DM today, Jun 2019,
Anyone know how long it take to request passport and send it back from their office?

We sent the pass from Iran last week and the agency said 4 to 6 weeks but will see. They will again go through a final check on everything so if ur case is complex or multiple visas then u should expect a longer wait time for visa issuance.

Well surprisingly i just logged in and see they issued the visa for my wife. That was much sooner than we expected since we just sent it last week. I guess it really depends on how busy they are and how complex a case is. Really cant tell how timelines work. Good luck guys i wish you all get the good news very soon

Yah, we sent it from Iran through an Agency as well. GCKey hasnt been updated tho since pre-arrival letter. So yours updated on GCkey with Passport Issued?

Congrats, yeah you wont get any notifications just keep checking your GCkey. I mean give it a week since the day you sent it. Then u will see status update change to approved and you see a bunch of updates like the background check and final decision then at the bottom of the list they mention the counterfoil document number and the passport number which means the visa/copr is issued and they should be sending it all back soon after. So i wasnt the only one in the current batch after all thats great news for all Jan/feb 2020 applicants.
