I honestly believe that you are all just wasting your time.
From previous postings, and my experience, there are only TWO statuses.
1. "Your application has been forwarded to the Embassy"
(Which, as u submitted in person to VFS is obvious, but I guess they need
to do, to officially confirm)
and
2. the txt you get which says...."Your passport is available to collect"
As we are all too aware, the time between status 1 - 2 can be anything from
6/8 weeks to 18 weeks, but there will be NO news made available.
Status 1 NEVER changes... there is NO update ...until you get that txt.
