Processing time for spousal visa - Sri Lanka

[gobiy]

I feel like it’s up to the visa officer. Some are slower than others I guess.

Ya I think so. More than 6 months checking eligibility. Still not end!!! Couldn't understand their process ...

Yeah and sometimes it depends on the number of countries the PA has visited or lived in etc.

Is it? Maybe bcz I was middle east almost 21/2 years for work. I submitted that PC along with my application too

 

[hopefulcanuck1]

Yeah I've noticed its always faster for people who have never left Sri Lanka.

When it's transferred to Colombo? Updates we can't guess. I got my medical within 1 month once my file transferred to Colombo. Someone got after 2,3 months. Can you share your timeline?

application sent on Feb 2018
Police certificate and Shc A sent on April 2018 and file transferred to colombo on 9th May 2018.

My husband left Sri Lanka and lived in India for 20 years and have been in Sri Lanka for only 7 months now, so I don’t know if that’s the case for everyone.

Oh wow! really eh? Yeah I guess then you are right, it's probably not the case for everyone. How long did you PCC take once the application was submitted in Colombo? Did you have to get PCC from India as well?

so I spoke with VFS today and they told me that it takes 3-5 days for Colombo High Commission to stamp the passports. Hang in there everyone and keep checking your tracking number!

My tracking number is not working, it says no records found.

Yes we gave the Indian Police Clearance upfront along with our application in December. Our app was transferred to Colombo in March 8th and got PCC in almost a month or more. I’m not sure if I remember correctly so kindly see my signature.
