A year and 6months....well this time it has to work. Or else this calls for an awareness against immigration on this program because then what's the point of having it as a program.Prople say the SOWP is not guaranteed for spouses of international students because it is the truth. It says you can apply but the way it is worded it sounds like everyone gets approved. Not sure the exact statistics but it is kind of 50/50 when it comes to approval. How long does your spouse have left when it comes to her studies?
