What You Should Do Now
- Confirm your personal details online or at an office.
- Track your status using the online portal or WhatsApp.
- Join a community advice group—they share updates quicker than official channels.
- If something seems wrong, appeal or request help immediately.
- Be patient; sometimes the delay is just a system backlog.
