Congratulations, so this Visa office is doing it in 8 months. GOOD. I'm glad you are out of the dark hole. Very Happy for You! I would've liked my husband to apply for the TRV DUAL INTENT visa but only 30 percent approval rating and he cannot adequately prove ties in his country. I have applied for spousal sponsorship for 12 months now. only AOR and confirmation of sponsor so far. The file says background check in progress. I wish I knew the way forward. Ive never seen anything this frustrating and open ended. Only God knows. Jesus Help Us!
