Initial application was sent to cic on december 2012. Application was sent to visa office on January 2013. How do I find the status of the application aftr it reaches amman?
Also, if I hire a lawyer, would it help in expediting the process? Because cic is quoting 20 months for processing time and that is a ridiculous amount of time.
Thanks..
Unfortunately the Amman visa office doesn't now send you confirmation that they have received your application (although some people have, but its rare). I think they are so busy they can not allocate someone to preform this task. Ecas (even though it is unreliable) is probably your best bet here)
As for a lawyer, again I'm afraid its bad news ... they can not help "speed" the process, the only thing they really do is make sure your application is correct to eliminate future delays based on errors. Also if you have a complicated case, they can assist there as well. I agree the wait time is way too long, but this is the price we all have to pay to live with our loved ones.
Goodluck my friend I wish you all the best.
