- Reached Lunar House @ 8M, went stright to ground floor received Token No upon showing my Appointment, applications and passports.
-- Called my token no within 5 mins - went to counter and taken my applications, passports + photos and spent 20 to 25 mins in that counter.
-- Given me two floders and a rubber band to keep all my documents and asked to go to Biometric.
-- Stright to the Biometric - Spent 10 to 15 min and submitted my documents by keeping all in those floders. he asked me whether im going to stay here(near canteen), or planning to go outside?- told him will stay back.
---Went to Cafetaria area and waited there by watching screens attached on the walls -
-- saw my token progress from Awaiting consideration to under consideration and then eventually to Ready for collection.
---Called my token no, went to the counter -- she told me that my application was successful, BRP CARDS will be sent soon.
Overall very good experience, no hiccups and no hassels.
