In Limbo,
I guess you are not "in limbo" any more now that things are moving forward. Good for you. Also, one quick question for you: was your application transferred to your local office for further assessment? In other words, was it transferred without AIP?
Given that I remember some of the background of your case from other threads, I am not surprised to learn that your file was transferred. That would be, in fact, the thing to expect. However, if that is true, you have to know that your case will be carefully scrutinized by CIC, which means that both of you guys should expect and be fully prepared for an exhaustive interview.
Provided that both of you are found to be eligible for the process, it is very likely that the interview will be focused on proving the legitimacy of the relationship. Getting ready for this type of interviews takes some preparation, and I would recommend you to not take it lightly.
Be curious and explore other threats about this specific subject so you can get some guidance about it.
All the best
S.
