I am again back to this site after 3 years. Before it was for myself when i was waiting for pr. Now its for my wife. I am originally from India, stayed in US studying and worked then moved to Canada in 2010 with a pr. We met while we were studying in US in 1999. She is originally chinese, born and brought up in Indonesia. She had to go back in 2003 as her US student visa ended and she got a job back in indonesia. I used to visit her in indonesia and we were always in contact through emails and phone. In 2011 Dec we finally got married in Hong Kong and i came back to Canada. Said that, I need some feedback from you guys regarding my application status and what to expect:
1. The application process started when i applied for first step ( Sponsorship ) on June 19, 2012. We sent the medicals ( Done in May 2012), police clearence and all fees paid upfront along with the application.
2. Around 20th August 2012, I got a physical mail that i am approved as a sponsor and the file has been sent to Singapore for processing.
3. On 24th January 2013, the Ecas status changed from " Application Received " to " In Process ", and it stated " We started processing the application on 21st Jan, Medical Results received "
With this timeline what can i expect now? According to site it will take 24 months from now to finalize the whole process in singapore? I tried before if can send the application to New Delhi, India but seems she cant as she is not a resident of India. I am just hoping no request comes for interview, it would be a big hassle. I applied for capis notes around 3 weeks ago, and still waiting for it. After it comes, mayb i will try to apply for her tourist visa, but not sure if she will get it as i heard many mixed informations regarding the approval rate for tourist visa. 24 months waiting time is ridiculous. I can even move back to US in my same company where i work in Canada and get my wife to US on dependent visa within short time. But will that cancel her pr application for canada as i being the sponsor will not be in Canada?
My other question is this last december , i took my wife to India and we took many pictures with my family and also took pictures with her family in indonesia. I wrote in the application that we will have like formal reception party in December 2012. Should i need to send all the pictures or i wait for them if they need it?
Any feedback from you guys would be highly appreciated, so that i know where we stand right now. Thanks Much
