I applied for my boyfriend TRV earlier this month. he is a Cuban citizen who has a work permission in Italy. he currently lives in Rome. we received a notice to give the bio-metrics which were completed last Friday.. The processing time is 17 days and i am so nervous as he has a ticket booked to Toronto on September 1st. I did use a lawyer to help with the application and had lots of documentation to back up everything.. What are the chances a Cuban citizen actually gets approved for this type of visa? the only good thing is that he has been in Italy for 5 years and is on a work contract. i put the purpose of the visit is for my birthday and the ticket is booked for 1 week.. any thoughts on the likely hood it would get approved
