Well I wish I could report good news, but it looks like even with our ruhksati being complete and providing pictures after filing application, my wife will still need an interview.
I received caips yesterday which stated that additional documents and photos (ruhksati and vilema pics) were received on x date in December and standard reply sent to inquiry on x date in January that application is in process. End of caips summary and BFD state file is in que for interview.
Well it was a good try. Chalk up another 6 months to our process
