received a file number

hi! i just have a question
once you received your file number, how long more did you wait to get a medical request or the decision to be made? thank you!!!

Depends on where the sponsored person is from. Keep an eye out for Sponsorship Approval, which takes about 60 days. After that, it can be a few months to two years, depending on if the application is inland/outland and what country the principal applicant is from.

we applied inland and my country of origin is Philippines...

So you'll be looking at 26 months maximum.

80% of applications will be processed in under that 26 months so hopefully yours is part of that 80% and doesn't take long! Good luck!
