hi!
mine was received in april! oh no, by started looking at it, me and A+M meant that really they're just "looking at it"! because i guess their looking at the files is at a speed of 1 page per day of each file! :D so we're just on the beginning! A+M has been asked for RPRF and I got my file number from them, that's why we said they have at least started looking at our files, but that means we've got some waiting to do! ;)

So do you think it'll take a whole year for something to be done? This is crazy, what a system they got..

maybe not a whole year, but we've got 4-5 more months, or even more, or maybe less! no one knows! ;) but don't forget that every file and case is different, this numbers and months we're talking about here are just averages. :)

i'm pretty sure that all 2010 files will be done in june and july :) don't ask me why, just a feeling i have for you guys! :)

i think its at least 30 days, that was the time they gave me for my visa in november 2010, i'm not sure it might have also been 60 days, but i'm sure it was at least 30 days.

really !! I think the others mentioned something like 15 days!! anyway my husband is landing in Lebanon on July 5th so that's 16 days from now so I guess it's all good. he won't have to change his flight even if they issue him the visa before. but with my luck I'm pretty sure we're gonna be one of those 12 months processing exception lol !!
