Yes!!!! That's your visa already! I received mine through text with the same message as yours. Then air21 will text you the date on when you will receive the document you should be home by that.
Please post a message here so that all forumers will know. When was your medicals?

weird. I didn't receive any text from the embassy that they will be sending me some documents. I sent my passport together with my application but after a few days they returned my passport.

I just received it today. I received a message from Air21 at 7:36am and the Embassy at 11:09am. Maybe you will receive it tomorrow. Take care!

My friend doesn't have her visa yet but she booked her ticket already. :) but it's a risk. anyway, God is good. hopefully you'll have your visa soon!

Yes i believe they will really return your original passport, they will just keep the certified copy of the bio page and other stamped pages too.

I had my medical last MArch 25 at St. Luke's extension clinic and my results were updated on April 4. Can I already book a ticket even though I don't have yet the visa with me?

Yes, I too booked a 2 way flight even though I haven't received my Visa. I know its a risk but flight fare will increase as the day goes by.

Anyway a few more days wont be a big difference since the embassy already texted you that your documents are to be delivered, I believe it wil arrive at your doorstep this week, it will just be a matter of time.

Tell us ok! All the best!

got my visa 1 day ahead the text message from air21 and the embassy. I think it depends on how quick the courier delivery is...

Hi jems!

I couldn't send you a private message. I guess your inbox is full. To answer your question, No visa yet.

According to the embassy, my visa started to be processed April 15 and due to the holidays.. technically speaking, yesterday (april 30) was the 10th working day. Since today is a holiday, I'm hoping and praying that tomorrow I will receive a message for the dispatch :)

God Bless us all! :)

Well I was just wondering because as she said she will receive her visa and passport at the same time while I received my passport 2 days after they received my application and my visa was sent after 2 weeks :)

Hi!

May I know more about the decision letter? Is it an email from the case officer containing the visa grant? Are they usually doing that?

I am still waiting for my visa and I hope it will be released the soonest.

It's not an email hence a printed paper together with your other documents delivered to you by air21.

Hoping for your visa grant notice soon. #keeponpraying

Oh, I'm just wondering with what she wrote:

"April 1 decision letter

April 4 received my visa thru courier"

I thought they are separate things.

Thanks! I hope I will receive a wonderful news tomorrow.
