More than 55 pages of irrelevant posts have had to be pruned from this topic - which has taken considerable time and effort, unnecessarily.

If you wish to post in this topic, please read the opening postof the topic carefully before doing so., which includes the following:

Do not make more than one post in the topic. If writing initial post before a decision / passport is received (i.e.- giving details of points 1 to 5 only), please edit the original post to update - do not create a new post for every update. This will help members looking for approx. timeslines to figure out end-to-end processing time of a given application(s) at one place itself.

Am amazed to note that "highly skilled" people are unable to follow the following ... very simple .... instruction:

Do not make more than one post in the topic. If writing initial post before a decision / passport is received (i.e.- giving details of points 1 to 5 only), please edit the original post to update - do not create a new post for every update. This will help members looking for approx. timeslines to figure out end-to-end processing time of a given application(s) at one place itself.
Remember the page number of this topic that you are making your post in .. or .. use the search function to find your post in this topic.

Queries, pleasantries, off-topic posts, duplicate posts, multiple posts relating to the same application, request for updates, posts enquiring about current timelines, etc. are not be posted, will be deleted without notice, and members posting irrelevant posts in this topic that require moderators to waste their time in cleaning up the topic may have their access restricted.

People are somehow able to find their old post in the topic and hit the "quote" button or "copy-paste" content to a new post, but for some reason unable to hit the "edit" button! It is beyond me to understand why.

I am still being forced to waste my time monitoring this topic, and delete duplicate / irrelevant posts.
