i am married to a canadian pero mabilis lng din process papers ko. we passed papers 2nd wk of april 2011 and got DM last week of aug 2011. i the visa office does not care kung ano nationality ng spouse, depende s relationship at documents yun. nagtrabaho din ako s ibang bansa, taiwan at UAE. basta complete papers, proofs & other important documents mabilis lng process. before we submitted our papers, kumuha agad ako ng police clearances kaya din siguro mabilis.
i think having kid(s), especially if they are older would make the process longer kasi mas marami ang i verify nila. wala pa kaming anak nung magsubmit kami, but i was pregnant then. wala ding umattend sa kasal namin from my husband's side of the family here in canada. i guess it also takes a little longer kung malaki ang age gap (9yrs lang s amin).
basta kompleto at straightforward ang application mabilis ang processing.
