Verify whether the reply of permanent residence in Hong Kong means refusal of visa?

No, the first reply was just that the Immigration Bureau informed us that we had received the application. If the second letter needs to be supplemented within one week, approve or reject it. If you receive the first and second letters at the same time on the fastest day of working and living in Hong Kong, and you can apply for a permanent identity card at any time, you don't need to make an online appointment. Go to the 25th floor to see the director first, and be directly told to go to the 8th floor to apply for an ID card. If you want to continue to apply for a passport, you don't need to make an appointment for a self-service machine.
