Anyone had to go through the process with Beijing for his wife or her husband? Just want to get information about how long we should wait before getting an answer after sending the passport to the embassy.

Thanks all

Eyesage,

I am having a very similar problem from Thailand. Did you manage to get through to anyone?

I am heading back to Canada in two weeks and figure I will just have to wait until then for any information! That would mean over 5 months having no idea what is going on.

Let me know if you have come up with any solutions.

Stage 2 approval for spousal sponsorship received!!!

Hello fellow march applicants,

I have been following this forum for sometime and just want to say thank you to everyone on here for helping me thru this ordeal, whatever my concern during this process I have always been able to find the answer on this forum. Until now I haven't posted for the most part because I have been able to find the answers in previous threads and our timeline has been fairly typical and in keeping with other fellow march applicants until today!

Good luck to all!!! Hopefully stage 2 approval will come soon for everyone!!!

Here is our timeline for reference:
Visa Office: Ankara
Application Filed: sent March 16th / received March 19th
AOR Received: June 22nd
File Transfer/Sponsor Approval: June 27th
Passport Requested: July 11th
Visa Received: July 18th!!!

From other posts I had read Ankara processes 20% of cases in 1 month., and ours was straightforward, but I still can't believe it! Thanks again and good luck to everyone on this forum!

Hi Galip,
They called to request the passport, the interview was waived.
Hello,

Thank you for your answer. It's seems that we will receive an interview call. (we're common in law)

Hi Galip,
Maybe an interview will be required, or maybe some of the background checks or parts of the process are just taking a little longer to review/confirm. Again, according to processing data for Ankara, only 20% of cases are completed in 1 month, 80% taking 6 months...
I assume this depends on a number of factors none of us can be too sure of, you are still on track for an early review! so try to stay positive and patient, I just wanted to post my timeline to show the offices are working thru our applications, I didn't mean to raise any alarms for you.
