I'm from St. Mary. I don't know if its a good idea Akhona to submit the work permit application for my husband with mines. Some other senior members have advised me not to do so yet, at least wait until....if I am successful then apply for his at a later date. I am getting sponsorship from a close friend as I only have $8800 for myself. I want to go to school so I don't want to compromise my application. I really want him to come though as where I am going I have no family or friends there. I have 2 kids, lots of brothers and sisters, father property, insurance to show ties but i'm worried, I don't want to risk not getting through if I apply for my husband to come. What do you think? Tell me how long after you submitted ur documents you got a response from them?
