Wow, I just am beginning to download the new forms and check the processing times, we were initially going to apply for outbound sponsosrship(me british my partner canadian) whilst I stayed here via visitor extensions but now it seems the processing time for inbound or outbound is the same? Is this correct? I feel this would change our option...does anyone have any thoughts? Would you think it would still be quicker to apply as outbound as a few people have told me that outbound are sometimes processed even quicker than they say..
