    Your timeline perfectly coincides with Govt implementing roster and WFH, not sure what capacity ImmD was working at during this period but i would assume you should wait for another month, soon Govt going full off roster..

    I got mine approved within 2 months after submitting the additional supporting documents. It was the peak of covid in HK so probably affected the processing time.

    I submitted the initial application in Feb. Got acknowledgement letter and requested additional supporting documents such as money transfer to prove financial support, wechat/whatsapp screenshots, holiday pictures, etc. Submitted those docs on 1 March and got approval today.

    I submitted my application feb16 but haven't got any acknowledgement letter, do you think it's ok to send them another email/inquiry. I just want to know if they have received my application i sent thru registered mail.
