We passed the 12-month mark several weeks ago and still no background check started. I start working in Canada in July (I'm the Canadian sponsor) and after that point I don't know when I'll have time to return to the US to complete the move with my wife. On top of that, in just a couple of months our lease expires so if we can't land by then, it looks like my wife would have to find a new place to live for an indefinite amount of time while she continues to wait. This is after our landlord was gracious enough to extend our lease by one month to buy us some more time. I don't know what else to do.
No kids or dependents, no additional docs requested, nothing needed to be resubmitted or clarified, nothing complicated other than an extension for the PCC thanks to slow FBI times (we actually received and submitted the PCC only two days after the original deadline and, ironically, before they had even responded to our last-minute request for an extension!) They just seem to have really taken their time with ours. It took them 5 months to even request the Schedule A from us, nearly 8 for the PCC.
Our application seems to be so far behind compared to everyone else's. I have no idea if there's anything we can do other than keep waiting in the dark. CSE was useless and since I'm in the US I don't know if it will do any good for me to call an MP's office. Would the MP for my most recent Canadian address (2009) be the one to contact? Sorry, not really asking questions here - just venting.
