if your wife is a us citizen, and assuming she has a straightforward application, it will not take 24-28 months to process the application. \chef jun said:Some immigration lawyer says that she need to apply for a new sponsorship application and it would take from 24 to 28 months.
your attorney may be quoting the posted times for the LA visa office. Only applications requiring interviews are processed in LA, and the applications are taking closer to 15-16 months to process there. A majority of applicants do NOT require interviews. the common reasons for an interview seem to be non-accompanying dependant issues, criminal issues, or the applicant is a us visa holder, not citizen.
US applications are processed in Ottawa and current applicants with straightforward applications are getting processed in 3-7 months TOTAL.
