Congratulation :thumbs: !!!!!

I also send my passport to the consulate and they received on Mar.03, 2010. And still waiting for the passport back with visa.

Any way enjoy your journey and have a happy life :dance: .

Dear VJ friends,

Hi,

I had an interview for IR1, in montreal on Nov.16, 2009. And during the interview the visa officer (lady) asked me for insuffitient affidavit. And need a joint affidavit.

So I informed my spouse and she sent me a joint affidavit.

And then I sent to the consulate. And they received on Dec.01, 2009. So till now no reply. I email them in the mid of January, 20210, regarding the update of my case. But still no reply.

So is it any friend know that how long does it take?
