it said in my CAIPS that they have received my file back in March 2012, so it took them 5 months to grant me a visa; but I shouldn't be considered a rule, because there aren't any rules; look at Kat or nono or Armando; we simply don't know how it is done. When I told the lady, who gave me back my personal pictures, that I was waiting for over 15 months, she was shocked; so I don't know how it is done, but it looks pretty random! I think we just happened to be unlucky that we applied at the almost exact time when the issues in Syria started. But me getting my visa without any previous alarms proves that we are NOT Forgotten, all of you used to tell me enno it's a matter of time when I was down, and I used to say the same thing as well; and we were right, out of the blue you also will get that mysterious call and this would be over... Nshalla as soon as possible. I know no matter what I would say deep down you'd be like: what does she care, she got her visa, but the thing is I've been there and done that, worrying and stressing will only put more pressure on your life and relationship and won't affect at all your husband's immigration process. They won't be much late, your husband will get the call, at least he was contacted; you are lucky enough to know that your file is being processed. Have faith and nshallah soon he will get the final call. Nshallah soon!!!!!!! None of you would be waiting any more Ya Rabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!
