| 2026-09-10 | IR1/CR1 | Interview cancelled, but the applicant ATTENDED AND COMPLETED BIOMETRICS at the VAC on 1 September anyway. Three applicants at this post confirm the same. This matters practically: people are cancelling their biometrics assuming the whole process is off, which would delay them again once the interview is reissued. Note it is not universal - a Manila applicant had their VAC appointment cancelled on 25 August. | |
