Hi,
I sent my passport to SL on Sept'29th, I got it approved yesterday that is on Jan8th. Actually I sent a request to withdraw my passport on Jan5th but before the withdraw request went into the system my visa got approved.
I actually called washington (@ 202-663-1225 press 1 and 0) DC three times to find the status. First time I enquired about the withdrawal process, second time they didn't give the status, but the third time they did give me the status, they said i got approved and the passport will be sent on the same day. As they said my passport was shipped the same day and I got it on Jan'9th.
You guys will also get u r VISA soon.
Regards,
NachiappanM
