Processing time for spousal visa - Sri Lanka

[suthatheone]

Hi Suthatheone. Are you the sponsor?
I am the sponsor and I went to the local MP's office last week and I was told the same thing. They are doing the background check and my husband is in Q for the interview. 13 months ended since I sponsored him and have not heard back from the immigration after Jan(that's when they requested for additional documents).

Yes i am the Sponsor. 11 months done since i applied and Colombo office requested additional documents Feb 01 ..........since then no update!!!!

You are right Kankan.. they changed the processing time to 14 months about 3-4 weeks ago. I went to see our local MP last week and I told them that my timeline (13 months) has passed and I didn't hear back from the Colombo Visa office and wanted to know the status. When my MP's office contacted the immigration they said processing time for Sri Lanka is 14 months now not 13 months so still one more month to go... but it can take longer than 14 months depending on the background check and other reasons.

Guys, after I sponsored my husband we went on Singapore-Thailand cruise(went to singapore and thailand as well) end of last year for one month and went to Malaysia for two weeks this year in May. Do you guys think its a good idea to send proof of our travel together? Just ask for the status and also tell them about our trips together? Will this actually make any difference or will I be just wasting my time sending them these additional proofs now?

Hi Vijay, MP office contacted the immigration in Canada and was told that they are doing the background check and my husband is in queue for an interview. When they are done with everything they will contact my husband but they didnt give us a timeframe of how many more months it will take. Also, they mentioned current processing time for Sri Lanka is 14 months not 13 months so there is still one more month to go so we are just waiting eagarly to hear from them. As for you, if they advised your wife to come back in two more months and if it has alredy been two months why not pay a visit to the MP's office before she comes to Sri Lanka. BTW, seems you are going to meet your wifey soon ;D sooo happy for you!!! You guys have been apart for a while now and we all know how hard that must be for both of you. And ya the link my app service does not have the real time update. I still think ordering GCMS is the best way to get more details . Oh ya, to contact the MP's office search for their office number online, explain your situation in brief and make an appointment to go see them in person. We have to go in person to sign a form which is basically giving them authorization to inquire on our behalf. Good luck. Sorry for the long reply. It seems like I am always writing an essay in this forum
