my case: 2008,8 application submited
2012,01 additional support documents submited
2012,03 sponsor ship approval
2012, 04 21 MER
2012, 06 MR
2012, 09,17 Received email to submit passport to beijing
question: how long to take submit passport to beijing and get back?
( because my mom is currently in China, and I just renewed my dad's visiting visa weeks ago, I am worried what happen if his renewing visa won't approval, then he had to leave, and the passport would be still in Beijing.)
Thanks and good luck to all!
