**----January 2019 Outland Application----**

[afg.kbl]

For the rest of the January applicants, keep your hopes up it should come soon.

I just received copr, my wife now needs to get her vista finally. But I was not in a hurry as I was hoping she gets it in 4 months, because I am going back home for my sister's wedding, and was hoping she would stay until then and leave with me. My questions are after she receives her vista can she stay where she resides for 4 months then come to Canada or doe she needs to come at once, also how long does the vista last for?

They're both the same Pakistan and India, it really doesn't matter whatever is convenient for you and your spouse.

Congrats! glad to see jan applications are finally moving

Did you directly receive the passport request or you received the pre-arrival letter and decision made update prior to that?

About 8 months to 9 months after my file was excepted. But you shouldn't worry, because as long as your file is sent to London vo it should take 1-8 months to get a visa letter. All afghan spouses go to London vo to get finalized.

These may be stupid questions and I'm not at this point yet but I'm curious to know...

1. Does COPR get emailed to you or mailed out?
2. When they request your passport do you mail it to the visa office that is processing your application?

1-Yes COPR is emailed to you. Always check JUNK and SPAM folders.

2-When passport is requested, you submit it at a nearest VFS with all the required documents mentioned on PPR letter.
