Dear shoaibucshoaibuc said:She is a physician. I think she qualifies. Can you give me any link which gives me details that new application can be filed by the spouse if one already exists.
many of the rules have been changed for new applicant, also they have limit the number of permanent residence visas to around 20K per year. Also for every category they will treat only the first 1000 applications from around the world, so I would suggest not to withdraw your application, as you have already waited a lot, and now you are on edge, so best option would be to wait.
