Do not infer every relative’s permission from one person’s update. Check the actual case steps and authorization for each traveller.
Plan from individual outcomes
A joint booking does not complete separate requirements or determine visa availability.
Check the latest official instructions for the applicable steps and avoid setting housing, employment, or school plans around a timeline that was not independently verified for the applicant's own circumstances. Track each actual response deadline and the records needed to meet it; there is no general rule that every request restarts one common processing clock. Review the actual instructions and any available response process; an internal banking delay does not automatically extend a government deadline. Set out the current official sequence for application, vetting, gift payment, underlying immigration processing, each family member’s requirements, and any proposed travel. Payment is a step in the published process; permission to enter, live or work comes from the immigrant category a successful applicant proceeds through, subject to its eligibility rules, admissibility and visa availability. Official material describing portions of the process in weeks is a description rather than a commitment, and vetting length, document requests, interview scheduling, and visa availability all affect an individual case.
