Should I have an update, I would have shared it. I don't want anyone to lose hope just yet. There's is still the opportunity for the miraculous.

Very well then sire.

It's just crazy, that people's affairs are hanging in the balance due to this.

kharemorgan:
For those that are still at the pre-approval stage and are resuming this January, may God see you through this stage soonest and may you have a much favourable appointment date before your resumption and ultimately, may your visas be approved.

Have you been able to scale through? And if yes, please what did you do extra because at this point I really don't know what to do again.


It's almost like one has to write for deferment

I think that date is just tentative. It should not have any effect on your interview, unless you're having your interview very close to your resumption date.

Thank you very much

Chemist4life:
@MiracleOla4433, hw far,any updates on ur preapproval request,

Please I want to confirm, now that we have to still pick dates of travel, are we to still stick to the date we intended to previously travel? In the light of the issues we have been encountering?

Read somewhere that if the date of resumption or t traveling is close,it could impact negatively on the day of interview, just asking for clarification.

E.g my date of traveling was 31st December 24, now this pre-approval has been nothing but an issue, will my choosing 31st December 24 in light of resumption on the 13th Jan have any negative effect during the interview? Especially after my inability to pass this pre-approval for the last two weeks?

phoyeks:
Halleluyah!
We got past the Pre-approval stage today!

Woah!

Congrats Man.

How'd you do it

Been trying since I saw your message
