I remember when I was all over the internet looking for answers, I was hoping more people with applications in Dar VO could have posted. It helped calm some nerves and to plan ahead. And somewhat to know what to be expected.
ME too keep looking to see if I can find some applicants with the same VO but nothing updated or recent!
I just wonder why the applications takes too long to process yet, with few applicants

I saw 1 guy on a Facebook outland spousal sponsorship page whose application was done on time, he had also applied in Feb 2023, but that guy was also extremely proactive, as soon as his application was 5 months after medicals without any updates, he was emailing Mp and sending endless webforms. For us, we waited after processing times were exceeded to email MP.

It took us 4 months to get the medical request which is quick too long for the normal, I try to keep my hope that we get an update soon, but I think by May if no update seen I will start to send webforms am already stressed out and exhausted from imagination :D

Hi everyone, hoping this process isn't as trying on y'all like it's doing on me. I have a couple of questions, how late is late in the process to apply for TRV? I applied outland on September 22.2023, so far only biometrics and medicals are completed. Background check is still in progress and Eligibility not yet started.
Another qn: How do you know what VO the file was transferred to?

I think the pressure campaign is what moves things. I know another person who did the same thing.
Have a file from Aug 2023, returned then resubmitted in October, returned again, then resubmitted in November.
Have done biometrics and have sponsor approval. Applied for TRV for my boy.

Maybe I should start the MP part in two weeks.

It is so heartbreaking seeing others get progress even when they applied after you, and you are stuck in the middle of the sea :mad:
I went to the outland spousal sponsorship page hoping to get some answers and deleted myself after afew months because there were people who had applied after us and their applications were taking 4 moths

We applied for TRV 2 weeks after our application had exceeded processing times, both applications are unrelated so they have no impact on eachother although, I have read somewhere that PR supercedes TRV.

At the bottom of the letter in gckey, the office which issued the visa signs off.

My brother-in-law's wife applied for TRV when her PR application was processing. She got the TRV done first (those are processed in Nairobi).

Ya, our TRV took 12 days to approve at the nairobi VO. The problem is as soon as the TRV got approved Spousal sponsorship got approval too. After 14 months of waiting. No children or dependents.

The process is trying me in every way possible :mad:.
The VO where the application is transferred you can find it in the sponsor approval letter
