when they sent you back your original, did you have a label to affix to the envelope with an officers name on it?

Mine did and I sent mine back in on Sept 17th and got my AOR on Oct 4th.

Hey there
my Sponsor approved, application transferred to KG. I was hoping someone can tell me how long it takes in Kingston to hear some good news back? I am hoping 3 months, I have notice the processing time in Canada has dropped a lot in the last couple of weeks and I am hoping that Kingston is the same but not updated. Has any of your husband have come across from Jamaica as of yet?

We have been together since 2008 and got married Jan 2012. I sent in our application in June it was return because 1 form was changed, sent back in Sept 2012 and just got approved Nov 3, 2012. The email says it will be sent to kingston I am thinking it will be 2 week to get there. I just looking for a outline of how long I am looking at?

Thanks

Yes that would be nice! If they start counting from the day the VO received the app, then thats only 3 weeks after our sponsorship approval, so we're already 4 months in to a potential 10 month (8 or 6 would be nice) wait. So anytime between xmas and may!!
