I received an email 3 days ago that they are minimally staffed and not back to full operations yet.

Good Morning, I am applying to sponsor my husband who is in Trinidad. We didn't get a request for medicals yet but I am wondering if anyone who got them done in POS recently would mind telling me how much it costs? We will have to do them for him and his son (non-accompanying dependent) so it would be nice to have an idea of what that bill would look like.

Just to keep everyone in the loop - I had written about extending our medicals and this was the reply I got back this morning from POS office:

Hi everyone. Today is our application‘s second year anniversary and still nothing . Just as long as app falls in the 20% . It’s not consider part of the nexts years 80% . So 20% apps get put aside till the backlog is to much . If 18 months is to long whats 24 Lolac..

Hi everyone. Anyone know where I can find forms for a visitors record?

So today we had a ghost update on our file in POS. I saw that it said "update" but the only difference I could see is that they removed the line that said our medicals expire tomorrow. Our file is a paper file so there is some hope that people are working on teh file. Even that is something. Will keep everyone posted if anything else changes on our file.
