Just had a feeling thats it..but I will still make calls once a week,because it has already been a drag and whenever we call them,they say a week or couple of weeks and then nothing happens..VERY ANNOYING!!

Your calling will not make any difference to them..they will take the time as they like..even if its beyond 5 months...you cant do anything about it!!

I have compromised and now I will not be calling them for atleast end of the month...calling them makes you even more impatient, angry which is ruining you in the end...

True Jolteon but one good thing that happened was the customer service officer said she would put in a request to the senior visa officer to look into our case,though it might or not make much of a difference it gives me a positive hope!!!

Thanks oz309 and harman_hp.

I am surprised they did accept soft copy for you oz309. When my wife sent some scanned/soft copy to CO, they came back saying "in no circumstances dept will accept emailed documents unless requested to do so". It was a scarry email.

harman_hp, we all suffering here -- and apparently no way out, but to wait!

I have been given the same promise twice ... and nothing ever happened!

The positive hope actually makes you more angry...

The higher the expectations of being lucky...the more disappointed angry and unhappy you will be!
