re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Yeah, the landing was great. The people I dealt with were so kind and informative. The immigration officer who signed off my COPR was chatting about how unusual it is to see UK nationals immigrating...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I got my COPR today finally!

Interestingly, I took my medical on 10 Feb 2012 but my validity extends to 26 October 2013, which is presumably 12 months after the date they processed the last bits...

Thanks for the input, both of you! I know it's coming 'soon' (their word) since they told me so in an email, and I already know it will be a positive decision, but I was...

What do you suppose would...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

That's great news! I am eating my words after saying I thought it was unlikely you would get sponsor approval before your journey to Canada, you're approved with a couple of weeks to spare! :thumbup:

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I got my GCMS notes, interesting read. We ordered them before my most recent medical furtherance letter arrived and clearly the medical stuff is a known hold-up now. But it's good to see where things...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

In our case my husband (sponsor) got an email acknowledging receipt of the application and then a few days later I was able to log in with the UCI and see decision made on the sponsor. The sponsor...

Most commonly this seems to concern tuberculosis, or at least most cases of medical furtherance that I've read about online are for that reason.

I've had another letter from London looking for another x ray from me. It has to be no less than 6 months after my original x ray, so at least that date has already passed now and I can just...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

The 7 month figure isn't an average, it actually means that 80% of applications are processed within 7 months (I suspect an average wouldn't be a useful measure because any anomalies that took a long...

Recorded delivery stuff usually gets returned after a week, I think? Still, definitely worth checking with the post office.
