"approved"?

[ecilassim]

Hi all need some advise, I just checked online the status changed to "APPROVED", but when I called CC she said the case is still being finalising she can't confirm whether it approved or not. Is this normal?

My best guess: you're about to receive an Approved in Principle letter, stating that you are provisionally approved for the grant of a Resident Visa pending final action that you need to take (usually, but not always, it's to submit your passport to INZ for vetting).

Normally they take 2 to 3 working days for sending approval letter with travel codition and other condition if applicable . Congrats

Yes, it's normal. Often, the instruction to clerks to update the online status gets out of phase with both the CO updating your notes on the computer, and/or the other clerks who will send out the AIP letter/email.

I was about to ask the same question! I got it "APPROVED" on my online account, but the CC said its with the support team. The CC agent said it could take around 2 weeks, would it really take that long?

[JandM]

It *could*... here's hoping you don't need to be patient for that long.

[elsa25]

I hope so too. Thanks JandM
