[Notes]
- I have made appointment with High Com through https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/ ... wgRISC5OM= with an assumption of able to get final Approval letter from ICA 3 working days after completing SGJourney, some people couldn't get it so this is pure luck.
- CSS is the hardest to book as it's only available once every month in my GRC.
- I have written emails to ICA citizenship unit twice but the replies were standard - just wait for update.
[will keep this thread updated]
