Castro,
I contacted my MP based on the fact that "most people" see their spouse's application as In Process approx. 6-8 weeks after they are approved as the sponsor.
Fireman sent his app. to Mississauga about a week and a half before me, was approved as a sponsor about a week before me and saw his wife's papers In Process at the end of Jan.
I expected it could be 10-12 weeks for mine as they were sent to Haiti mid-December and I was allowing for extra time due to Christmas holidays. They are supposed to start working on them by the date they are received.
I contacted my MP after waiting 16 weeks and still seeing no change on the website and no response to my email in March confirming they rec'd my Use of Rep. form and request for the B File number. As well I researched information on other Embassies. Plus I remembered Mart's post about her husband's papers being sent in Sept and then being told they did not show up until Feb.
Since contacting my MP I have read or know about 2 other situations where people were approved as sponsors after me and their applications are In Process. I am sure there are more than just those 2.
I had a bad feeling and didn't want to wait 17 months and then contact my MP.
I realize we haven't been waiting as long as you and your husband. I hope "the few months" really won't be that long. Maybe they write that so that you can't hold them to a specific time??
