Hi all,
Violet, no they process as a 309, and take around 10months, the fact she will get 100 immediately after should not mean it takes longer. There isn't any more processing, it is automatic as a matter of policy, as we had been married over 3 years at time of application.
Rhycka, it doesn't take any longer if you have children included in the application, as long as they were included in the beginning, and there are no delays because of custody issues with other parent.
Chinorn, 300 an 309 are meant to be same, but we do see 300 being done quicker.
Unfortunately, other countries embassy's all have different processing periods, some quicker some a lot longer.
I am estimating mine will be Tuesday 27th October. Why?, coz this is the sort of crap you do when waiting.
Cheers
