Hi, The processing is on and it will soon be 3 years since I applied. I am waiting for MR, due to the quota issues, it has slowed down.
To be very honest,I am not too worried about the outcome, but just a bit curious.
When I applied I was aware of the fact that chances were 50-50 , just like the numerous job applications we send. Just because we are suitable or eligible for a job, we don't always get it when we apply ( not even interview),. they have to deem us eligible and suitable..
I always kept track of the processing times and these put me off, seeing 7+ years , I did not want to apply. But when MI were anounced my brother and sister ( both Canadians, in Canada for 12+ years ), prompted me to apply and I did ! (But still the wait..grr! lol)
I am very much happy with the job I have , my wife works too. Very happy with the pay, savings, investments etc. I was denied US visa twice to meet my family/holiday and once for H1, I am hoping this would be a backdoor for me after a few years under NAFTA. Another reason Why I applied !
