I always check to see if you post or hear anything, as we are both October applicants. I really think KVO moving slow or have a back log, as the October applicants in the year before us that was in the forum got through before April 2017. Really hope we hear some good news soon

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to give an update. My husband went for his interview yesterday and he got through! They practically interrogated him, even asking questions about me before we even met. He said that some of the questions were impossible. A woman called from the High Commission of Canada Ottawa (she sounded Canadian) to ask me questions for approx. 20 minutes. She grilled me with questions, my hands were sweating. Before the conversation ended with her, she said she was going back to continue the interview with him. I will find out more details about the questions that she asked and I will post it before the end of the week. He had to wait while she issued the Visa. Praying for all of you to get some updates and get through soon! :):):)
