Yes I have sent the additional documents already and they received it on Aug. 9, 2013. It's almost been a month waiting and not hearing a word from them. I see people's forms/timelines that they sent their passports and got it back within a few days. So now I am wondering. Are there other steps? Is this the last step? Cause my husband sent his passport, does that mean they will stamp his visa soon? How long will did you have to wait? How did the CEM contact you? Is there a way to inquire/figure out what CEM is doing to my husband's papers? I have so many more questions, but i think this is too many for now. Please reply back and let me know your feedback. Thank you!
