I am Canadian and my husband is from Romania. He was already here on a work permit before we met so we decided to do the Inland application. We sent our application for sponsorship inland in September of 2010. We have recieved the first stage approval and are now waiting for the second stage. On the site is says that it takes 8 months which should be this month but they sent us a letter requesting info on his overseas family members because they couldn't contact them (we gave one address but we didn't know the address had been changed because of adding a new street!). We sent back the requested info the next day to try not to have a delay in the application. The suspense is killing us because the process is so long! Can anybody share with me how long their second approval took?
