Hi all,
I just received my Original Passport Request today at 9:50 EST.
I applied under SDS - online from Vietnam (remember to answer Yes to the "Upfront medical exam" in the Questionaire, it will provide the SDS document checklist instead of the general stream one).
My timeline:
- Submission Confirmation June 6, 2019
- Biometrics Collection Letter June 7, 2019
- Date of Biometrics Enrolment June 10, 2019
- Correspondence Letter July 4, 2019
- Original Passport Request July 4, 2019
During the time, only medical status was updated ("June 19, 2019, You passed the medical exam."), and it keeps showing that: "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information".
Thank you all of you for sharing your experience, it was really helpful for me. FYI, I came to realize that it will take longer than 20 days (standard SDS processing time) for positive cases, so be patient and waiting for good news.
