won Appeal August 2012
landed April 11, 2014
20 months....we had some bumps in the road and there were strikes/slow downs at many Embassies. A lot depends where they will send your file. Some go to Ottawa and some go back to original embassy
Try not to worry too much. You will get the letter in a few weeks. It will then take time for file to be sent (about 3 months) Then it will wait to be processed.
Honestly, I was convinced my partner would never come to me but indeed we are together in Toronto. !!!!!
Best wishes
