Has anyone looked into applying for a tourist visa after the file transfers to the specified visa office? I was looking back at February and March spreadsheets and a lot of people still haven't received a passport request, which means that it still takes a long time after the application gets transferred. Anyone considered applying for a tourist visa in the meantime to bring their spouses here quicker while the application continues to process?

The chances of getting a tourist visa for your spouse are less but if you are lucky and your spouse has done a lot of travel overseas then it helps, my friend got one approved for his wife last year.

I put my experience when applying for a tourist visa for my fiance (now wife) in the below thread, see if this helps

Hi Guys,

I am preparing my spousal sponsorship package Outland.
With the new checklist that has come out, it has been asked to provide a max of 10 pages and a Reminder is put in, that all documents has to be translated to either English or French.

Now my question is I have more than an year of chat history between me and my sponsor and that too in our native language, if I translate it to English then it comes to be somewhere around 300 pages & i have additional 50 pages of call details. Can somebody tell me how I can provide these details?

Hi - Here is what we did for my application (we just got AOR2 a couple of days ago)

Since they asked for no more than 10 pages, we broke our chats like this:
1) First five pages with Whatsapp Chat, there was no translation done. Most of our chat was in Hindi (and English in between). We put the chat in a way that chats were from different weeks and months to show that we were in continuous touch with each other.
2) The next 2-3 pages were for the video chat logs from Skype or any other media you used.
3) The next 2-3 pages were for the Audio call records we did through FB messenger and Rebtel.

Because they are asking for a maximum of 10 pages, you shall do your best to put it in a way that shows that you were in constant touch most of the time, so include snippets as to show some data from every week or month.

I don't think they care if you translate your chats or not because they want to see there was enough interaction between the two of you. Again, this is just my opinion and may differ from others.

Medical req is kind of random like for some people its coming with SA & for some its coming at the last moment so hard to tell. Don't worry about it, they will request soon

My spouse, who is the principal applicant has not received the correspondence as well regarding Sched A and PCC. I'm sending this anyway as I'm afraid our 30-day time limited might be reached if I don't act on it. I received my sponsorship approval via email last week.
