  • I am sponsoring my wife
  • submitted my application in May 2017
  • completed medical & background information in June 2017
  • received an email that the application has been forwarded to visa office in Rome, Italy in September 2017
  • received Invitation to Pre-arrival services February 27, 2018
  • received email requesting passport for final review February 28, 2018 :)
The waiting and lack of update at times has been unbearable for me but reading some of the threads in this forum and other forums in the website have been encouraging and very helpful!!

Best of luck to everyone!!!
