they have not once asked us for more proof of the relationship. i assume this is a good sign, since a genuine relationship is the basis for granting the visa, correct?
unfortunately they just keep asking for tedious documents, and repeat documents to fill some information gaps. I think they just need to cover some extra bases since we are common-law, and that's a pretty huge thing to claim. But it seems they aren't questioning the legitimacy of that at all.
You never know Coco, you might hear something sooner than you think! In this process, I believe no news is good news!
