well i am Canadian citizen of course. i went to Bangladesh on oct 4-2010 , married on oct 16-2010, came back to canada on feb 01-2011. i almost stayed 4 month after marriage. some people just get married couple weeks and comeback i think u need to stay little longer with ur spouse. as usual application was filled by a local chartered accountant. i had submitted only 10 photos, my parents 3 brother and 1 sister all were there in Bangladesh for wedding , i submitted all the boarding passes, copies of plane ticket of all my family members attending wedding. 1 month of telephone call logs and all the other doc required.
Great to hear about your case thegreatone! Four months, wow. I wish I could have taken so much time off work to be with my wife after the wedding. I was with her about two weeks before and four weeks afterwards, although I've also returned to Vietnam several times since then, for about six weeks each time. My parents and sister were also present at the wedding, and my sister even came back to Vietnam the year afterwards to be with the family for the Vietnamese new year at the same time as one of my trips. Submitted all that info. Hopefully we'll have a similar timeline to yours :D

Hi Shiny88,
we have same timeline and same situation. My spouse also got interview letter indicates wait time 24 months. I just dont know what to say to you, at this point of time I guess we have nothing to do but waiting , and letter for interview date. I can understand how you feeling because I am going through same situation.

I am from Bangladesh. As we have same timeline and same country, I guess it is better to keep a track for timeline.

My friend's got visa in 4 momths, so First come first server or what mistake we made preparing file NO Clue :(
I am in Canada ,my husband is in Bangladesh. I waited a year before applying because i thaught i had to have income so i didnt want to send until i have a job and worked 6months before applying and all i made a big mistake cuz now i see that i wont be refused even if i dont have a job... so its been almost 2years that i am married and 9months since i sent application to missisauga!! damn! am very dissapointed with their time. its not fair some poeple things goes to fast and quick, those who applied before me! am very happy for them but very frustrated for the visa office in singapore, they dont understand how hard and depressing it is.

That would be me. The file was received by the singapore vo on feb 3rd 2011. Nothing changed for 7 months until we sent additional proof and they started processing on sept 18th 2011. I do not think it is a coincidence.

I am in the same situation kind off..but they sent a letter on october 19 stating to wait a letter for interview date and time. where did you send the additional prove??? in singapore??

Well what you did, you thought wud be good to have a job and income. Which was not a bad idea, and didnt think that wud take such a long time. So dont blame ureself, I also try to find out sometime questioning myself, why My file went for interview where other goes quickly. Its so stressful.

why they wait 9 months to put interview list? if they need interview they could have asked it for earlier. well, this is just our valid question and I dont think it will change anything.:(

Well, I was thinking sending additional proof. But problem is interview letter indicates that, they will not accept any additional proof and/or documents untill interview date.
you might send it , but you can email them first and see if they reply or not.

dont worry too much, u dont have to wait for 24 months, usually for bangladeshi applicants they fix interview date with 4/5 months. u should order CAIPs notes to see why they have asked u for interview. good luck
