Still no news on my end.

Seems like Ankara has gone doormant.

I have ordered the GCMS notes around two weeks ago (prior to Nowrooz).

I wonder if me changing addresses quite frequently within my stay in Canada affected the processing time (as well as age gap)

Question !!!
How long did it take you guys to build up a file before it was ready to send ?
Thank you :D
It took us a bit more than two months. But most of that time was waiting for the translation of documents, police record, updating my passport to my new married surname, etc. Putting your file together is definitely something you don't want to rush; take your time and make sure you fill out everything completely and can give the best documents as evidence as possible.

I don't think this is a problem at all. I also decided to move back and live with my family while waiting out the end of the process in order to save more money for when my husband arrived. It's up to you if you want to give an explanation as to why you are living with your parents (to save money, cultural values, to support your parents and help them, etc.) or not.

I keep waiting to hear some news on your end Abe1004! Hopefully when you receive your GCMS notes some answers will be revealed. You're in my thoughts!! Hang in there!

:D I got an email from Ankara asking to send passport of my wife. so I think they are working fast these days. I submitted application Dec 11,2013 and today is April 1st,2014. so about 3 months and 20 days for the whole process.

This is faster than what they estimate on the website.

Thanks for those who helped here and best wishes for those waiting for their applications :)

My wife is in Mersin Turkey.

Is there anyway that she can send the passport to Ankara via courier and receive it back instead of taking the long trip to Ankara?

It takes about 9 hours from Mersin via bus.

be sure Abe 1004, none of these you mentioned are important, you must wait firmly and try to focus on your relationship :). me too waited along time for being in process situation and fortunately i informed of this forum after that,so if i knew about the holy chart and many others that their application goes faster than me, i became so depressed :'(.......so try not to compare your file with those who are at the same time with you.
you are frequently in my mind and i wish hear golden news of " being in process" and " pass request" at the same time for you :) :) :)

Don't worry guys, it's just matter of time. I was worried too much because of the complications and requirements, but from my experience most of the time that you wait, is just the time until they start looking at it. Once they start, they do it quickly.

Best luck for you all.

As far as I know, that's absolutely normal that you are right now living with your parents. You can state in your writings when you are filling application forms that you are planning to move to a new place at the time your dear husband arrives.

Yes, of course.

It will take longer, due to shipping times, but this is acceptable.

if she goes in person, would they give her the visa in hand or they would ship it back to her after few days ?
