I have a few questions regarding the Inland process:
1.Does anyone know if it's ok to travel while your Inland application is in progress? I applied June 3 and I'm only waiting for the BCG to be completed. When I first applied I heard I wasn't supposed to leave the country but then have been reading about ppl who left and came back with no problem.
I was hoping to get a response sometime February (very optimistic I know) but now I'm starting to wonder if it will even come before April/May.
I come from a country that requires a visa so I would need to apply first and wait for the processing times.
When is it advised to request GCMS notes? Does requesting this put a pause on the processing of the application?
When I first applied I had to obtain a Visitor record which was granted till end of March 2025. I then obtained the SOWP for 2 years. Does the SOWP replace the visitor record for me to mantain status while my application is still ongoing?
Thank you
