If this helps, I will say that I had TO wait 3 months for sponsorship And then 3 months more for the request of the Police Clearance), I didnt get any acknowledgment of my file transferred to Mexico City or anything like that... After they asked me for the police clearances, then, I traveled to Mexico City (from Canada) to get the PGR and SSP and was an excuse too to spend Christmas with the family ( I let the embassy know about it), then, it took me another 2 months to send my PGR and SSP because I didn't know I need a letter from the embassy of Canada directed to the PGR in other to get this one ( I didn't know about this because CIC knew I was already living in Canada, so they assumed that I wasn't going to Mexico and therefore I just had to send my set of fingerprinting in other to get my PGR).. so anyway, I had to wait until the embassy send me that letter to finally go and get it, that's why it took my 2 months since the day They require my police certificates...
Then, after I finally submited my PGR and SSP it took me 23 day until they asked me for my PPR. I don't know if did help that my husband and I were already living together since the day of our marriage (4 months ago since I submited my application to CIC in Mexico City, but he and I did lots of things together since before because I was already living in Canada with a work permit, since 2 years before...so we had pictures with me with his family in Thanksgiving and all those things and he was on pics with my family because he traveled with me to Mexico in Christmas of 2011, so I guess our relationship seemed to be really genuine, although let me tell you we didn't do any wedding or reception, we just went to sign to the Comissioner house, not even his parents were present... of course we explained why we couldn't make the wedding.
Let me tell u something I never never was sending e-mails to the embassy asking for ANYtHING except for that silly letter for the PGR, I was just waiting and waiting and letting things go that way because I knew they had to contact me.
Well, I just wanted to share a little bit about my case, maybe this helps a bit if you compare with your case, if any questions let me know!!
