Dear Massood Ji,

We have sent our passports (four members of the family) to the CHC, Nairobi in June 2004, and are waiting for the Visas.
I was told at the time of Interview that the landing papers will be issued “ 1 to 2 months after medicals”.
I was working in Africa during the process of application and interview. I have returned from Africa to send the medicals and passports to Nairobi because I thought it would be unsafe to be in Africa without a passport. I am living in India without a job.

Now I have a job offer in the Mid East and my son also in need of the passport for attending the Toefl (in India passport is mandatory). So both of us need passports.

We faxed two reminders to CIC over the last two months to expedite the process and return the passports. So far we received no communication from CHC, and we are not sure how long it will take to complete the process at CHC.

If we ask the CHC to return the passports what will be the effect on application process.

Ask them and they'll return the passports. Tell them to advise you when the visas are REALLY ready.
