Sponsor a spouse

[Micah-lei]

Hi, is there anyone can help?

I was sponsored by my husband.. Our application was sent march 19, 2014.. It has been forwarded to manila by july 18, 2014.. I was asked by CEM to submit my original passport and appendix A last august 21. I sent the documents the following day.. Its been almost 2months but still there is no notification with regards with my visa.. Some says it takes only 2-3 weeks and i can have my passport back with the attached visa. Why does it took too long?

you will be better off asking this question in the manila thread. i am sure there is a spreadsheet that helps track things like this, and you will be able to see what the "trend" is for that office. there are offices that take longer to process and return passports than others.

My visa office was Manila; I think it's not unusual for Manila to hang on to passports for so long. Your timeline doesn't seem very unusual. There are lots of February applicants who got passport request in July, and are still waiting.

You could look for the Manila family sponsorship thread, or the Manila thread for English speakers.

And the Manila spreadsheet is here:
