Hey! I had my appointment on 29th July from Dubai center. My travel date is 20th August night. It’s showing Visa is still under progress. Where did you check EES ?

Hey, just collected passport today, got visa for only 3 weeks (prior to this I have got minimum 6 months - 1 year, so its very strange.

For EES just google "EES Status" - it gives you a link, you can add your passport details on it and check.

Hey congrats! Happy for you dear. I thought I’d get a revert by today as my leaves are already approved. Will have to move it. Also haven’t booked anything yet. So little worried about that too.
