I received an email yesterday that a decision has been made with regards to my visa application.
This morning, my passport and what's left of my documents were couriered back to me...and on my passport was a spouse visa
I was ecstatic! I felt really blessed that I did not have to wait very long. It only took them 9 days to make a decision.
Again, many thanks to everyone here in the forum. Without you, i would not have the courage to submit my application.
