In the same boat. I am at my 7 month mark. My husband's visiting me for eid. We were hoping we could go back together but it doesn't seem so now.
From what i know their processesing time has gone up to 9- 12 months on average. Chances for an interview are less if you have a strong case but you never know.
You can order notes to see and keep hoping for the best. Thats all we can do.
I am from the same month, and at the verge of losing it, lol. But seeing so many June, July applicants still waiting, even some from March, it would be just wise to expect nothing earlier than August. How many days it took them to reply to your mail? I mailed the high comission on May 9, and no reply so far.
Please keep in mind that their stated processing time is 12 months and that's for 80% of the cases, meaning the other 20% can go even longer and this is so true if it's 2nd marriage and/or big age gap. It's stupid but unfortunately that's how it is.
I hope so man. Just seeing support from these forums and groups keeps me going otherwise I would probably be so lost and upset right now. At least we can rant with one another and give eachother hope if nothing else.
Good luck! Any idea if all goes well. What would be the next step in our case? A passport request ?
It’s true that the processing time stated on website is 12 months but what’s making us all impatient are the applicants who got processed in 6-7 months lol. I keep dreaming I’m gonna be that lucky winner who’ll get processed in 7 months *sighs*
Basically it's 'within 12 months'. Most straight forward and strong cases get processed quicker.
I have a pretty strong case, I guess. I mean we got married in January 2017 had our rukhsati, walima and all that, then we went to Canada together in Feb (I have a visitor visa). But I was so stupid I could’ve just done inbound. I chose outbound. Now I’m rotting here alone in Pak ;( bad decision. We applied in Oct initially. File came back. Reapplied in Dec. My husband came in January 2018 to visit me. I still could’ve gone back on visit with him but I didn’t know I could do medical outside Pak too so I stayed back till March then I thought ‘why go through all the hassle of long flights only to come back after 3-4 months, you’ll get ppr in 6-7 months like in July.’ Now seeing how long LVO is actually taking, I’m regretting everything :| wasted so much time. It was snowing there in April and I was burning here.

If you have a visit visa then why not come here and be with him unless you have school or job
People would kill to have a visit visa.Canada say dosti kar kay long flights say kya darna?
Yeah I’m confused if I should go on visit now after Eid but my wishful thinking is telling me again I might get it in August and would have to go back all the way in just one month. Found one emirates flight for July for 2400$. So like, is it really worth the risk? Ahhhhh. But what if it takes longer I’d waste an other 4 months. Isn’t there any way to submit passport from Canada? I know it goes to Islamabad but maybe I could transfer mine?If you have a visit visa then why not come here and be with him unless you have school or job

Before that the background has to be in process, then generally people get pre arrival letters which means eligibility is passed. After that DM and then passport request. Or another scenario if they feel they need more info they ask for additional info or if they feel something is sketchy they will send PFL which means you'll have to go through interview...let's hope and pray we don't go that route.
