I went to PSK to submit application on October 25 2017. Police verification completed on November 1 2017.

When I filed grievance request on February 2018, I got this reply "Sir, your application has been processed, clear police verification has been received ,reply from MHA and MOF still awaited".

I filed a repeat grievance request on April 2018 and got this reply "MOF response received on 14/03/2018"

The recent reply did not mention whether I was given clearance by MOF or not; it just stated response received. I am on a H1B visa. If MOF already gave a "response", what else am I waiting for? Should NRIs get MHA clearance too? What do you think is going on? Any ideas?
