Welcome Mrs. Hopeful
Now you join the waiting line with us!
Every case is different so it seems from what I've been told on here, the waiting time in Kingston seems to be averaging 7-10 months but some are shorter or longer.
The criminal check will be something you will need to get right away as that is rather important and I don't think they can move forward in Kingston much without it...correct me if I'm wrong others. I'm assuming they will be calling you for it at some point. But I'm not sure, but I believe it could possibly cause a few small delays because it would be considered missing documentation/paperwork right?
Hopefully though your file goes through smoothly and quickly and your soon reunited with your hubby. Again welcome to the forum!
