Hello fellow spousal sponsorship applicants past and present!
My husband and I are being asked for more documents as proof of relationship. We have passed the medical exam stage and received this letter two days ago (below). We are not sure what exactly they are looking for because we have submitted joint account, bills, letters from friends and family, photos, and fulfilled the document checklist requirements. Any advice?

What exactly do you need help with? Sounds like you should expect to hear from them some time within 9 weeks. Since this is an estimation, could be longer. If nothing after 9 weeks, you can contact them to find out what's going on.
