No, your application is taking a long time because you kept having problems with your documents, having to re send a lot of things, missing info, etc.

@Mrs. Purcy, the processing time is now 52 days. >:(

And also, not to make light of your situation too, but my wife's visa office has a 30 month processing time, and a low acceptance rate (72%), but London has a ridiculously high acceptance rate and their processing time isn't too shabby. Also as a UK citizen, he has a far easier time coming to visit you than my wife does. My wife's country is so shady, its one of 30 or so countries that demand biometric data prior to entry.

Waiting is tough, but just remember you're going to have a much easier ride than most people who have spouses in other less developed countries.

Hi,
My husband is not a UK Citizen. He is Irish, from Ireland and his VO is in London UK. Ireland is a visa exempt country from what I read. I also read that London has a high acceptance rate, but I'm not going to let that not let me worry you know? I've seen other countries like Beijing (not too sure don't quote me haha) but they have a higher acceptance rate and faster process time. My husband is thankfully going to come in October to see me and spend a week or two with me. We applied in May and I really hope by October at least the ball gets rolling. Such a long time ahead but I really hope everything works in everyone's favour here on this forum! It's so hard to be away from your partner. Is your wife going to visit you?

Also because the sponsorship approval waiting time has gone up will this effect my husbands processing time and arrival date? Don't they have to give you a notice to land in Canada before the date of your medicals?

Also, maybe you're right. Maybe I will have an easier time but I still have my doubts especially when my husband has been arrested for assault, but hasn't been convicted, never went to prison, he's pretty much not a criminal no record, he just has a peace bond (has to keep the peace) which is set to expire this September. Even though he answered those questions truthfully, even though he provided in depth court documentation, therapy information, the police report etc. Even though a lawyer, and those appointed people stated that it shouldn't effect his pr application it still worries me that the London VO will not let him have it even though he was completely honest, made one mistake, got help out of his own doing, has never been in trouble with the law with the exception of the peace bond, that for some reason they will deny him. Our relationship is very straightforward and we provided a lot of things, sometimes I think too much or not enough. But I still worry.

What the heck? Are you serious!? What is going on.. D:
 
Who knows!!

Lets just hope the London processing times don't go up, I think its due an update this month
When I applied London VO was 9 Months and it went up to 11 in January

It makes it difficult to plan ahead with processing times always changing but I've decided I'm going to Canada to stay with my wife in October no matter what, if I don't have copr by then I will just do a border run when I get it!
 
England, Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales are the four parts of the U.K. We all have our own government but we are all a sovereign state under international law of Great Britain ... just a bit of history.
 
They are getting extremely slow. Each week the time goes up 4-5 days. It seems that in the last week they only processed one day of applications.

There is no way of knowing if its because of the volume of the applications, some policy is getting changed or they are just simply on vacations.

Even though this time may seem smaller as compared to the long processing time in stage 2 (mind you my processing time would be 32 months ) but at least its a peace of mind that stage 1 is cleared.

Seems like its going to reach two months time mark for stage 1. Hate that
