Yes, I mailed him on Dec 5 that it's been 67 days and I haven't received any update. His assistant called back the same day afternoon that as per the agent you submitted TRV 3 days after the sponsorship app, and for spouse, TRV AOR is required for which they put your file in a queue until AOR comes.
Then she said that she had requested to put a note on both PR and TRV files for an update and mentioned I should get an update before December 15."We can't request an update, but can expedite it as each application is different ".Lastly, she said, If not received, I will get back to them by December 16.
I explained that I had already missed the festive, not want to miss Christmas and New Year.
