Hi Jma, we got "final review" in our email. With in a couple of weeks we got our visa. So I am thinking they are looking into the file and its not sitting in some corner catching dust. All the best for you!

HEY EVERYONE!!! Good news...my hubby got approved and he got his visa yesterday at the office. They called him the day before and asked him to pick it up the following day!! ;D ;D ;D I am so happy!! Such a relief...and it didn't even take more than 10 months!! PRAISE GOD!! I pray a quick and...

Oh yeah that is very confusing!! I am not sure why they would ask for the same materials. Have you tried to email them to inquire why they are asking the same information again? And I agree with you..I thought the same thing too - that asking for the PP would mean the final step. But now I am...

Hi Scorpion, if they are requesting police checks or any of those important documents like medicals, then they will hold the passport till they are recieved. So definitely send those police checks ASAP! Those are pretty crucial..not to sound negative but I am pretty sure they won't issue the...

Hi Scorpion, I would suggest sending in the additional information because you would not want them delaying issuing the visa based on that. They will only say they told you to turn it and they are waiting for that to be done. That is my personal opinion...cover your bases. And Jma, I am sorry...

Hi Scorpion, I have not gotten my passport back yet. No response of any sort from the embassy yet...my husband was thinking about emailing them to see when he can expect it back. Will let you guys know if anything changes!!

Wow, that's very positive for sure!! Compared to the horrible 29 months!!! My husband spoke with one of the ladies who works in the embassy (a family friend) and she said that if all the paperwork is in order it should not take longer than a year (maximum). The 29 months is to allow for mailing...

Hi Jma, Thanks for the encouragement! I am trying to keep my hopes up too. Are you aware if offices ask for the passport as a preliminary step to the process or as the last step? I always thought it was usually the last the case..from my own experience coming here. But a friend said that it...

Hi, I am applying for my husband to join me in Canada from Kenya. We got married in 2009 and we were only able to submit our application in Sept 2010, we had so many delays with getting the numerous police checks. Finally they were all done and the application is in Nairobi. We recently got the...

Hi, I applied for my husband to come visit twice and got rejected both times. First time they said he didn't have sufficient reason to return to Kenya and then second time they said we didn't have a PR application submitted. We finally gave up that route and applied for PR. We were delaying...
