No i think you got sthg wrong....i didnt even write my timeline. I sponsored my husband in November 2010, got approved June 2011 , file got transfered to Ottawa and then cairo visa office. Since june 2011 no news then rcved email august to send passport and all that....i think maybe with theelectricity that was the case. We will c.

hi youss,
Sounds like your total timeline is around 7 months... we are now coming up to 7 months and have just heard from the Cairo office and they are asking for us to submit documents and photos - the same documents and photos that we already submitted...but our file was being handled by Ottawa- and now seems that it's back in Cairo. They've even asked us for an original marriage certificate.... did you, or anyone in this forum experience this or know what this means? thanks...
 
hi there.

I wanted to share this good news with you :)
My wife landed last Friday, I thought I should share this with you and thank you for your time, wishes and support during the frustration period.
I have been busy with moving to a new place and am still busy so I might not be able to be here very frequently.

Wish the best to all of you
 
Hi everybody

I have a question and i hope somebody can help me

i applied to sponsor my wife on April 9th 2012

i received the approval on july 9th and in the letter they said that the file was transferred to Egypt (cairo office).. and when i check the application it says that application received and medical results have been received.

but today i called just to check if everything is fine.. in Cairo they told me that they have never received the file. and when i called CIC they told me that the file was transferred to the ottawa pilot instead and they help the cairo office now.. i was just wondering if this is a good news or bad news.. so is it better that the file is being treated by ottawa pilot or by the cairo office..is this a good sign or not?.. and if anybody has a similar experience and can tell me what happened in his case?

Thanks for your help
 
almost everyone is transferred to ottawa pilot
I do not think any one is better than the other, it is what it is.
good luck, All the best
 
As I am done with this process, I will quit this forum :)
I will miss everybody and all the best again.
