I received the following response from the Embassy in Manila.
“Please be informed that this application is currently queued for selection review. The standard processing time for this type of application is now 12 months. Note that this application was received on 04 November 2009.”
We've been waiting for 7 months from the time sponsorship has been approved and 6 months after processing here in manila. This has been an exhausting battle for us, however we couldn't question god's purpose/ reason as to why we have to wait for a certain period of time. Been crying for the past weeks and having a hard time concentrating on my job. All of us here are on the same boat hoping to get to the finish line. Most of you guys are under spouse/ common law application, mine is under conjugal class.
We are a same sex couple with immigration barrier. They said this is the hardest to prove and a very tricky one. However as advised by legit.ca in canada we are more likely under this class for the reasons of not being able to marry , I was denied a tourist visa 3x and she couldn't stay with me for more than a year because of citizenship. Same sex couple are still not accepted much in our society, we do want to have a normal life and start anew in canada. God knows our intentions are pure, we just really need to be patient and trust in HIM. I surrender my whole life to the LORD and in HIS time I know we will all be reunited with our loved ones. My partner and I met online Jan of 2008 and met twice already in person. Recent one was last Feb 18- March 13 2010 here in Manila. We just pray that the visa officer in charge of our case is open minded and compassionate. Please include us in your prayers. I hope you can give me some information if you know someone under this class same as our status. Thank you everyone in advance for your feedback! Hope we all get our DM's the soonest. God bless us all!
