I just went to the embassy today and asked if they already have my passport because I received a response to my email yesterday that a decision had been made last October 2, but then the staff who assisted me earlier said that, in their system it is showing, still on process and emailed the contact centre again and did confirmed again that indeed it was decided and that it will take within 10 working days before i get my passport back.

We feel sick/dizzy/nervous/scared all rolled into one. Just want to know the outcome!
Wishing a safe journey to you and congratulations once again xx
Thank you! I'm sure the outcome will be positive. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending positive vibes to you and the rest!

Dear All,
I want some advice.
It’s 97Days for us. Applied in May’17 as priority in Seoul. Do you think we should cancel it as they hold her passport? And it’s holding our life up like others. We just want to be together. And I’m losing hope. I don’t know if that email about 31st October means anything
