Heya Vjers. Just wanted to pop this up. Don't know if it would help anyone but I figure it can't hurt to keep track. I recently was able to submit a service request on 3/17/2013 for being beyond processing time. I just recieved a response today. It's not conclusive just seems like a general yes we got it now the real office gets it type email.

Type of service requested:

-- Outside Normal Processing Times

The status of this service request is:

To better service you, your request has been forwarded to your application servicing office. You should receive an answer from that office shortly.

We shall see how long shortly is huh?

Anyone else submit a service request recently? Any different response or did you get this one?

First part yes, second part no. US takes a 10 months to a year for the 2nd part. If the spouse is in Canada, first part is 6 months and you get a work visa after that. If the spouse us not in Canada it takes from 30 to 120 days approx. Dunno if a work visa is available to the spouse at that time though.
