Hey y’all,
Do you guys have the gc key updated with application approved after visa stamping? Ours is still shows in progress, just curious why is it so.
 
hello all, I am on a strange situation....please need your suggestion.
I have received passport request letter on February 26th and have also deposited the passports on the same day at VFS Chandigarh.

On 7th March I received an email stating that ( your application has been updated. Please sign in to your account and check your application status and messages for more information). I checked the status which shows that your application was approved in front of Final Decision. Also there were 4 numbers showing expiry date of 23rd June 2019 for each applicant. However, today when I checked my account the Final decision status is changed back to- in progress and background check is also changed back to -in process.

I would request you to kindly provide information upon the same
 
Hi All

Now waiting patiently :)

Congrats! I should have sent our passports to my home country too :)

SGVO is really slow :mad:
 
Hehe, hang in there, the wait is coming to an end :)

I really don’t understand why SGVO is slow when almost everything in this small country is already automated. The visa office is only stone’s throw away from the VFS :rolleyes:

And only if one may know the answer to that. Just the last step of testing our patience ;-)
Don't worry you are almost there.

Lol. My husband does not agree to that. He believes that I will be anxious again when waiting for the PR card, then citizenship (fingers crossed). So it is a never ending journey, actually :D

Hi anyone submitted on 8th March, My status is still showing under process. This wait is too long to get passport stamped.
 
Reposting.

Passport submitted to SGVO (PA and child) and NDVO (spouse) on 12-Mar.

Update on Passport submission to SGVO:

I got a phone call from SGVO regarding my spouse passport. The one who called seems to be the same guy who interviewed me in December. He was asking if we are still married since my spouse’s passport was not submitted :D

I explained to the agent that my husband sent his passport to NDVO after receiving the instruction from CPC-O. Apparently, these VOs are not communicating with each other.

Anyone who had received such calls? o_O
