yes my sponsorship also changed to decision made but pr side still in process as well. The notes I just received has 2 different due dates, one was August 15, 2016 and the other is November 25, 2016. August came and went and we didn't hear anything. Hopefully us September apps will hear something ASAP.

I am sorry Spartabarbiie that you are going through this alone, I as well did the same thing and being a "single" mom when you aren't really single is very tough.
Thank you for your kind words, it's comforting to know that other people have been through it as well, although it's not right or necessary… Everyone should be able to be together as a family, my notes that I originally ordered had two different dates as well, one was in May and the second one was November 3, so I'm assuming everything will be done by November 3, I'm hoping sooner than that though! Take care and you're all in my thoughts and prayers !!

It sure would be nice if the processing time would get a lot lower than 16 months. Maybe in the near future.

I think the future applicants in this category are going to have it made! It's going to be so much faster… Great for them

So I got the notes and other than an email address error and the job offer missing, all seemed gud. Until I saw the date....December 28, 2016 :mad: Is that cruel or what? :'( They try to make you miss your 1st anniversary(but I'm going down on the 23rd ;D) and now maybe another Christmas. Please God help us.

Hang tight just as you have been Spartabarbiie. In the last group the applicants received requests 1-2 weeks after the one year anniversary of application submission. I don't think you'll be waiting until November for everything to be finalized. Your boys will have their daddy home very soon and you will have your husband. It's always darkest before the dawn, the hardest part is behind you now. God bless you and cheers to your happily ever after It's almost over.

Hi Smithd, considering Kingston usually completed about 3 file reviews before making a final decision, I would say 6-7 months after Kingston receives your application. For me it seems Kingston received the file November, completed the first review February and the second around June. The 3rd and hopefully final review should be already underway or sometime soon. But, it might be beneficial to order earlier since processing times may drop drastically and there have been instances where crucial information and errors have been spotted by applicants only because they ordered the notes.

Sorry I can't give you an exact timeline but others may have better answers for you.

Thank you Jamaicanadian! You are too kind, I can't wait for this to be over, for us all. Happy to see the processing times coming down so future applicants do not have to hopefully endure what we have. My little guy is 10 months tomorrow, hoping and praying he is here for his very first birthday!
