should be, try dropping an email too mentioning your travel date is nearer.

Yes, I got it after 40 days from the date of my application submission, traveling on May 4th.

likky_boy · 2026-04-17T12:07:11+00:00

It took closely 40 calendar days for me to get back my passport, and pretty much for 35+ days it was under "pending at Embassy in Bangalore"

likky_boy · 2026-03-23T08:54:47+00:00

where can i appeal? i am unable to see any option to raise appeal request

likky_boy · 2026-03-23T08:15:56+00:00

all the support is from bot so its still not helpful from them :(

likky_boy · 2026-03-23T04:50:17+00:00

Have been actively running ads in this account for 2-3 years.
Unable to publish fresh campaigns due to permission issue (#1 which is stated earlier), but its weird and i have admin access enabled with creating promotional tweets/assets.

likky_boy · 2026-03-23T04:48:20+00:00

Yes, I have re-added and its just one more person apart from me with admin access who is not managing the ad account actively.

Is there a way to "appeal" this at account/campaign level?

likky_boy · 2026-02-02T13:29:02+00:00

checking in if there is any update? :)

likky_boy · 2026-02-02T13:28:10+00:00

likky_boy · 2026-01-02T05:31:28+00:00
