Hi US,

It could be true. It's hard to predict how long it will take them to review and decide. Could be a few weeks, could be many months. There's not way of knowing, sorry.

Best Wishes,
Rene

but i never knew it would take that long. What's funny is that they give u a deadline and after that they get laid back and do it whenever they like

Yes...they do things in THEIR favor, not ours. "Hurry up and wait" seems to be their motto.

I hope yours doesn't take that long, though! Good luck!

USi,

It might depend on the issues that are involved and what it might take to resolve them. There's no value to either side by creating false expectations.

If you don't hear anything further after 2-3 months you might want to make an InfoPass appointment to inquire about where things stand. [EDIT: Oh, I see from another post that you've done that. I hope you learn something positive.]

Regards, JEff

USi,

Excellent! The same thing happened to my wife - she went in this past Monday morning only to be told that her application had been approved the preceeding Friday. If I'd checked my e-mail over the weekend we'd have known that, although it would have been too late to cancel the appointment.

Regards, JEff
