Hello everyone
My apology if this topic has been covered before.
I've directly (not through agent) mailed in my MM2H visa application to Putrajaya about 5 weeks ago.
I am eagerly waiting for a "Ref. No." to be assigned to my application so that I can check the status going forward.
My question to our fellow members:
I. I hear that the application is being handled differently by a newly formed task force and etc.
When can I expect to be notified of the 'Ref. No.'?
Do they notify you by email, or regular mail, or how do you find out if you have been assigned one?
Or do you have to check the status on their website using your name and passport number?
2. How long did it take you to get the "Ref. No."?
I've traveled many countries in the past including Russia, Brazil, China, Australia, and more which US citizens must get visa. None of them took more than a month at the longest.
After 5 weeks I don't even have the Reference Number assigned to check the status.
I wonder how much longer I have to wait...
3. Should I have used their agents, instead of mailing the package directly to the Putrajaya center?
Do you recommend me to start over re-sending the application using their agency?
4. With the newly formed "Task Force" starting to launch tomorrow (March 19th) in the Home Ministry, do you expect the application visa process time to be 'drastically' reduced?
Thank you all
Kenny
