It probably took them one day to do the checks and another four months and 29 days to wait for a bring forward date in the system to remind them to make a decision on the application.

All joking aside, it can take up to six months and longer to do the background and security checks. We are talking about the government here...

So what this is really telling us is it only takes approximately six months to process an application once they start working on it. Since they had an interview, the officer had some unanswered questions about the relationship being genuine so nothing happened with the application (other then the visa officer requesting an interview after the initial review of the application) until AFTER the interview. Boom! Completed in 5 months!!!!

One year, my friend.

A visa officer is only supposed to request an extension if the previous medical has expired and it is the only thing holding up making a final decision on the application. The extension can only be done if it is within 15 months of the original being completed.

So what this is telling us is that it is taking Kingston 8 months to make a final decision on my hubby's application...

His medical extension expires on January 5, 2014. Lawd!!!!!

PLEASE GOD MAKE HUBBY FLY WITH ME ON OCT19 - AND SO HE DID!
Maddants said:

Hi everyone!

Just got back from JA, spent one week with hubby for his B'day, it was awesome but it went SO FAST!!!

We had to send some documents to KG (Quebec sponsor's approval and hubby's Quebec selection certificate), so we rent a car, visited some relatives in Spanish Town Sunday and showed up at the High commission office Monday morn. Stayed in the car and waited as there was no parking, to see my man coming back to me with the paper in his hands still! He saids that the security agent wouldn't take them, I was so pissed! Went myself to talk with the man, argued with him and wouldn't hear anything. He saids that we need to come back on Tuesday or Thursday at 1:30pm to remit some papers in person, like no one have work or things to do! Our second option was to send it by DHL for 900 bills an hour later, few blocks away... What a scam!

KG never mentionned such a thing in their email response after two months of waiting... They are truly testing our patience, finance and determination I tell ya. Wanted you to know.

Good luck for this coming week everybody, blessings
