Hi
@legalfalcon
I'm originally from Afghanistan and I'm residing in Italy.
We applied for overseas Spousal sponsorship in May 24, 2016 with medical reports and then delivered them CSQ certificate later.
I was asked and went for an interview in the embassy in Rome in June 2017.
In September 2017 we were over processing times (16 months), our lawyer submitted inquiries to immigration Via Webform. They responded and said the application is in process and they could not guarantee when it will be finalized. Two months later, we request for an update again in November 2017. Since then we haven't heard anything from them. We asked our lawyer for a follow-up mail, but the problem is that she asks for more money. Because we only had 2 free request for an update according to 2 years service retainer agreement, which will end in March 2018.
We are about to be hopeless and don't know what to do. We would like your opinion on the situation.
Hope you can help. Thank you in advanced!
