It has been 9 weeks since my app is pending. I ad spoken to HO on 4th aug and they said its with the manager. the process i was told was that the case worker passes to the manager and manager to senior manager and then it goes for stamping. I had spoken to them on 18th aug and they said they have stopped giving statuses based on the reference number so they cant tell anything.

the problem is my wife and daughter are travelling to india on 16th september and i dont know if i will receive the passports by then.

hi aj20 did you recved your passport back yet ?
 Posted by aj20 on 21 Aug 2008
no passport received yet ...i have sent a urgent treatment letter on 20th aug. and had called today they said that there are lot of urgent treatment requests coming these days. they hvnt looked at it yet. and since my case is already with the cw urgent treatment wont help much bcoz it helps only in allocation to the cw and then it goes into a black hole i think.

really worried now when its gonna come back.

yes milind it is very confusing. i dont understand how is it processed for some people so quickly. i hv friends working with me in the same company and most of them have got their visa's stamped. i havent got any query from HO also so not sure what case worker is doing with it for last 3+ weeks.

Hei AJ,

Even I applied for Urgent process and my co wants to join before 1st SEpt. But there are no updates from HO yet. Do we need to do something to speed up the process?

Can you share your phone no. Wll call you. Its stressful waiting for Approva now. I already have an offer in HAND>

Regards,
Deepak

Hi AJ.. the wait is just killing.. it is so unfair not to have a proper tracking system from HO or give status info cause they should understand the fact that we are applying for this is we are expecting better opportunities. ..
