Hi everyone,
By the mercy of Lord, my husband received his visa today. It's been long 18 months apart. Here is our timeline
Application : July 27, 2015 (only marriage ceremony proof sent, reception was later)
Sent voluntary updates in February 2016 after our reception
SA: September 20, 2015
Interview: October 25, 2016
Remedical and PCC: we did it before interview but was not accepted at the interview. We asked reception after interview who told us to wait 2 weeks and if we don't get an email for remedical then just send it yourself to the delhi immigration emails. And we did, 2 weeks after the interview.
Decision Made on ECAS: December 24, 2016
PPR: January 4, 2017
Passport Submission: January 5, 2017
GC KEY: Approved January 10, 2016
Received Passport back: January 12, 2016
We applied for GCMS notes twice before the interview to check if they got updates. I did MP inquiry twice as well, which led to brief answers, not detailed. GCMS notes were more detailed but took long to get, MP inquiry was quick response (1-2 days).
I always told my husband that God has a plan and whatever it is its best for us. Long distance definitely makes the relationship stronger that we will all cherish for a lifetime. Keep up the positivity and keep telling each other "you're worth the wait"
Everyone's timelines are different but forums do give a general idea. Hope this helps
Will continue to pray for everyone who is in the same boat as us.
