Stages after the Police Interview
Checking Status Online
I continued to check my status online at https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/eservices/myPermit?semakStatusPermit and it showed:
Follow-up with Immigration (November 2023)
About 7 months after the police interview I renewed my passport and transferred my LTSVP, so at the same time I followed up at the Permit Masuk counter and updated them with my new passport details. The immigration officer said that my file was still with them and that they would contact me.
Immigration and Police Home Visit (February 2024)
Approximately 10 months after the police interview we had an unannounced home visit by 2 immigration officers and 1 police officer; fortunately my wife and I were both at home.
The officers asked questions about employment, salary, family etc., and asked to see information such as: Applicant’s passport, Malaysian spouse IC, employment letter, pay slips, utility bills, marriage certificate, S&P Agreement, wedding photos.
One immigration officer took photos in each room, inside our wardrobes, of our family photos, our documents and of us.
The officers were polite and professional and the visit was conducted mainly in BM. At the end they said they would submit their report which may take about 1 month. One of the Immigration Officers called me 1 week after the visit to clarify some information.
File transfer to Putrajaya Immigration HQ (November 2024)
9 months after the home visit my online status was updated to say my file had been transferred to HQ at Putrajaya. At this stage the application is passed to KDN (Ministry of Home Affairs) for the Permit Masuk & Residence Pass Panel Committee to make a decision:
