Thx Rathika,...3 days ago i sent mail to colo off and got the same reply as they have given me for 5 months :(..the diff is they used a word "in near future" in this reply lol thats it .
i went to MP yesterday.. his assi called and asked (i dont know wr he called) abt my file infront of me but they said they had already replied me by mail and said him the same reply again lol he was upset about their reply ..finally he mailed to colom off. i could see that he wasnt satisfied with their reply . he said, if they dont give more info by mail,Mp will contact colom off directly .i hope i will get the good news b4 that.
i pray for all ..

Hi,
I am new to this. i sent the application for spousal visa for my husband on september 2010. Colombo visa office started to process on october 2010.
He is currently in colombo and i am in canada. its been almost 15 months since i applied. our police report and medical were expired and we got it done again. i also inquired from mp here so many times. it is very frustrating. i never applied for visitor visa thinking it might affect my application.
if anybody has any idea about this let me know,
thanks,
I

hey ipah sry to hear that u are waiting 4 a long time...hey have u tired to order the caips notes it gives u the information from the file what the visa writes and whats happening with the file....when i ordered my caips notes i found out that i was on the interview list 4 about 6 months and after they gave an interview date after the interview they refused our visa.........so i think if u order the caips notes u will have a better idea....and maybe they are doing a back ground check.........good luck any more question feel free to ask
