Hi guys, just want to gather some information about how long you鈥檝e had to wait for e-visa grant result?

I鈥檝e heard that in a lot of cases, if your application is 鈥渋n processing鈥� for too long it鈥檚 likely that your application will get rejected and you鈥檝e been blacklisted. However I鈥檝e used a service to check my status and was told I鈥檓 not blacklisted. That鈥檚 why I went ahead and applied Tuesday night 16 Aug. As of today it鈥檚 still 鈥渋n processing鈥�, which means it has exceeded the 3 business days but I don鈥檛 know if there鈥檚 any reason to worry yet.

Did any of you guys have to wait for longer than 3 business days and still get granted the visa?

@OceanBeach92107 thank you, will check tomorrow and report back! I just wasn鈥檛 aware last Friday was a holiday.

@Rodan M

Have you ever overstayed a visa previously? If not it will come. Slow now because of holidays.

Yes, he did have a previous overstay:

Probably direct contact with Immigration will be necessary, as reports by others in similar situations say there is no response to email inquiries.

Since the OP is outside the country, it might require the help of a visa agent or attorney.

@pogiwayne the thing is I did use a service to check my status and was told I鈥檓 not banned from entering. That鈥檚 why I went ahead and applied but it looks like they didn鈥檛 do their job properly. A lot of visa company offer this service of 鈥渃hecking if you鈥檙e blacklisted鈥� for a fee these days, I guess you just never know how they checked it or if they even did.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF OVERSTAYING!

Your experience is unique due to your past bad behavior.

Please stop attempting to compare your unique circumstances to those of people who are mostly being impatient with immigration.
