Hello i2canada ! - WOW I am just blown away, I had to read your timeline 3 times !! Are you saying that your application is already processed in just 4 MONTHS ?? and from Abu Dhabi ?

Congratulations though - but you have to tell us what is unique about your case ? How and what did you submit to ADVO ? Really Curious ..

i2canada, thank you for sharing and giving us hope! I was delighted to hear your story.

Every situation is unique, and throw in the human factor and external forces that are beyond our control. All that make this whole process very frustrating. God bless all.

Usually, it is within 2-3 months of your application receipt date but sometimes never.
