    Hi All, any idea how much time it takes normally once the acknowledgement letter and application ref no are generated?My application was submitted on 6th Jan'17 and application ref no received on 13th Jan (it's my first work visa and dependant visa applied on the same time sponsored by my employer)
    Appreciate any response on this.Thanks in advance.

Is it necessary for you to be in HK while waiting for your visa to be approved? Any documents required to be submitted apart from my passport?
    Thanks!
    There is a lot more to submit than just your passport. Check Immigration Department Website Guidelines.

    Thanks EMX. Anyone knows what used to be the status of application when Immd asks for additional documents? In case Immd asks for additional docs, will I be able to know it via online status check link? Does it get change from "In progress" to some other status or it stays in "In progress" ?

    We've been finding IMMD pretty quick recently. We applied for a work visa for a new hire (GEP, no dependents) on 12 Dec and it came through on 29 Dec. Our HR team takes the strategy of including just about every item IMMD could possible ask for, which I think helps speed up the process.

    What did you need a lawyer for? Yes your visa is approved. First visas are typically 1 year.
