Hi

Just to update those who are waiting for their acknowledgement letters, Visa officers are sending ack letters to Dec 16th 2008 applicants .

Hi,

I am trying to find out:

When the application is 'acknowledged', do we need to respond in anyway. I am planning to be out of the country.

what in the interim input do they need from you, after you have filed your application.

Thanks

Pritesh

You don't need to respond for the acknowledgment letter. If your trip is a short one don't need to inform, if not then you might need to look at options like changing your address or so...

Hi,

Can you elaborate how many months is a short trip. I am not sure at the moment how long I will be out of the country so would be helpful to know.

Also, why change the address since they take to long to give you the final test letter.
