spouse sponsorship

[KMAEP]

MY HUSBAND APPLIED FOR SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP AND WAS APPROVED LAST FEBRUARY 4, 2011.. I RECEIVED LETTER FROM THE CANADIAN EMBASSY MANILA LAST FEBRUARY 28,2011 AND THAT SAME DAY VIA REGISTERED MAIL I SENT THE NEEDED DOCUMENTS AND PASSPORT..

IM JUST CURIOUS WHY IS THAT MY HUSBAND IS ALREADY PAYING FOR MY PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE IF HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES IM NOT SURE IF MY PAPERS ARE APPROVED???
AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE VISA TO BE PROCESS HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES??


ANY COMMENTS??? THNX

Paying the RPRF upfront reduces the time required for processing, as it means they don't need to ask for it later on if you are approved. If you are not approved, he will be refunded the fee, so he loses nothing paying it upfront.

Check out the Phillipines thread for an idea on timelines.
