Dear all

I though to share the timelines with respect to passport stamping process with you all.

Visa grant e-mail received on 15 Feb 2012
Passport Sent via private courier on 15 Feb 2012
Passport received at the AHC on 16 Feb 2012
Passport sent by AHC on 22 Feb 2012
Recieved at home through Blue-dart on 23 Feb 2012

It took 6 business days.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for their visas.

Cheers.

Same thing happened with me. On 28th jan I informed them that I will be leaving New Delhi on 21st feb . CO did not do anything despite my numerous requests. Annoyed and frustrated I called them up and asked for reasons for delay when they are issuing visas to October applicants. I went on a bit harsh this time unlike previous conversations. I was assured that File will go for final decision next day.

I flew on 21st feb and they issued visa on 24th Feb. Happy but it cost me AUD $2000.00 extra for Tickets.

One thing I realized that follow up really works. So Guys waiting for Visa.. go for it but try to maintain balance..Do not be rude unless really required...

Thanks mate, I know how frustrating it is. The last time I called them was 22 Feb when I went to AHC and she told me that she's working on August cases, u reckon I should contact them anytime soon ?

Anyways thanks for your suggestions
