I don’t think “no news is good news.” If wait till February and then follow up with them at the one year mark.

Right. Thanks for your take on it.

correction -18 and over.

IM5604 Must be completed by the Applicant. You are the Sponsor and you do not need to complete one for yourself. If your wife has any children over the age of 18 they also need to complete a separate IM5604 whether they are accompanying her or not.
