Hi Rathika, They called my husband once to ask why we didnt do a cultural wedding... so does that means that my file was already screened? and now it is on waiting list to be viewed by an officer?
When did they call to ask? Recently? I would assume that it is being reviewed by the officer because they would be looking at the file then. What did he tell them and Did they say anything else to him?

Oh okay...hmmm yeah I'm not sure but I would assume that they would be reviewing the file if they called to ask that. Maybe Rathika would know more about this.

Dear ........,

Your file is in queue for screening.

Yours truly,

Immigration section
TMD

does it mean they didn't even touch my file ? :(

that means that ur application is waiting to be screened in to their system..after this process they will put ur file in the queue for the officer to review it ...gd luck hope it helps
Tx Rathika.. So it will take more than 6 months to approve my visa ... :( y do they take so much time to decide ?
