hey Dhruv, did they send you a letter or did you ask them and they replied with the latest status?

@Southernwinds

They said your file has been to the minsiter. So just waiting for the decision.

Hi Dhruv,

I am not sure about this information, which sometimes I think it can be vague.

I emailed them in May asking if they had an updated and received the canned basic message saying that my application was being processed and a few days letter, received my approval letter in the post.
Whereas on the same dates, there were people who received the same message you have, and are still waiting for an approval letter until now.

So it seems that it really depends on how organised/simple your application is and the efficiency of the person in charge of your file.

I believe they will not be sending any more approvals until after the 17th of July, but you never know! Still three weeks ahead.

Good luck!

You can travel without GNIB card as long as you have a valid GNIB stamp on your passport and valid re entry visa. Make sure to take a copy of the GNIB card and approval letter with you in case the officer wants to see it.

My wife traveled twice like that so you should have no problem.

First of all thanks for the reply.
When you saying a valid re-entry visa... did you mean a visa stamp in your passport? Because i know that Eufam doesn't need a re-entry visa stamped in the passport and can use the gnib card as a re-entry visa
