Another week has gone and again we are awaiting the cic update. There have been a few more approvals of the mid febs. But quite a few of the earlier febs still not heard. :eek:
So I reckon they're gonna move it to working on Feb 13, OR stay the same!!

The thing is, we don't know about those early Feb applicants. Were all those cases straightforward? Were all the IMM forms completed correctly?

I think your prediction is probably accurate. Either it will stay the same, or it will move one week - Feb 13. Whatever happens, all we can hope is that the times go down...if it hits 100 days I'm going to be very annoyed! I paid the full amount ($1,040), so with that I expect first world level of service...but wait, we're dealing with a government body...forget about service!!

I'm still predicting a late July approval for my app that was received on April 13...the way I see it, as long as my file is in Hong Kong by the beginning of September, we still have a shot at getting out of China by my wife's one-year medical anniversary date (March 1, 2013). Either way, if that doesn't happen, we just keep socking away the $$...and that will definitely help when the visa is finally approved.

Good luck to all...no...I'm not going to say that anymore..."Good patience!!!"

I don't think I could say I have displayed any patience so far.......just enormous frustration. But we have found the perfect distraction, and are now looking forward to 2 weeks in the sun at the beginning of June. 8)
Hopefully there will be some good news when we get back.

Time keeps slowly ticking by... I only saw my husband 3 weeks ago, but it feels more like 3 months :eek:

Tomorrows processing update will be interesting. Really hoping it goes down.. and not up again. I wish we got our app sent in December like we were supposed to, it was only 45 days then!

Processing times will go up for sure. Just look at the January spreadsheet. People have been waiting over 100 days.
