Inland Application 2011

[missha]

Hi everybody!

I am being sponsored by my Canadian husband I am originally from France. We send our Inland application in January 28th 2011 and they received it on February 2nd 2011. I applied for a open working visa at the same time in the same envelop. I am now, hopefully, few days away from they're first reply (the approval of the sponsorship and the working visa).

I therefore I am curious to know if anyone near my timeline heard something already. The website is still stuck on processing application from January 14th ( it's been almost 4weeks...)
Also I am really hoping that the first envelop from the immigration that I will receive will be my working visa. Does anyone knows if it's a mistake to hope for that first? Maybe I should receive a letter saying that they're processing my application and it will take X time to complete the first step (sponsorship approve)? Can they ask me for more information from my past years...

It has been almost a year that I am waiting for my husband to be approve and to receive a working visa. I am young and I have missed a big year in my career. The year has not be easy and those last days are getting worse (mentally)... These past year I have been bored as I never through it would be possible. Feeling useless, and trying to rich a goal that will never come... Depression has always been near me, and these experience has changed me.
I am curious to hear from people that are waiting or have been waiting for their papers from an inland application. If you were not working what did you do of your days, how did you kept your life busy and kept yourself useful...

Thanks to all of you on this forum that have already gave me lots information just by reading you... I wish to all of you a lot of patience and keep the head high it's coming.

The last person i know received it from 21th Jan. Keep your fingers crossed

Serendipity,

When did you send the second medical?

The second medicals were done in mid Sep./2011, a couple of months before the first ones were expired. Since their validity is for one year, this guaranteed that the examining officer would find valid medicals on file at the time of assessing the First Stage, which was schedule to happen in late Dec. 2011/early 2012 based on the date they received our file.

Wow, this thread is so quiet today. Is anyone there? I know most of us come on here daily and just check out the updates. Is anyone excited for our wed jump tomorrow? I sure am. It has literally been 3 full weeks since it has moved. Here's hoping for a decent jump tomorrow. Although, the kids went back to school this past Monday and a lot of parents take the 2 weeks off during Xmas and nye to spend time with there kids. I hope that does not slow us down for tomorrows jump. I guess sesame is next on the list.

Have you heard anything yet sesame?

Congrats Serendipty...I can only imagine the joy you are feeling right now
I thought the early part of waiting was the worst but I was wrong. It's these last few weeks that are the worst. Angtao and Canadagirl...waiting on our turn eh?

"Processing Times: Family Sponsorship
This information is updated weekly (step 1) and quarterly (step 2) and shows the time it takes to process an application after we receive a complete application package.

There are two steps in processing family sponsorship applications. In order to know the total approximate time it may take for your application to be processed, ADD the time in step 1 to the time in step 2 (the two steps are consecutive).Last update: January 4, 2012
