My husband was on the plane 5 days after receiving his visa.

I think by the time the interview comes around, most affairs should be settled or have someone in place to settle them in his absence.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I think that by after interview....if you know your case is approved. Then the spouse should start working on "settling affairs."

For me, I literally became sick with the waiting. So depressed I started taking anti-depressants. But through it all I knew this waiting was forced on us by the government. We could do nothing to change the fact. Now my husband has his visa and he is telling me it will take more than 2 months to "settle affairs."

To me, this is a great, great disapointment!!!!

I think 6 weeks is enough time to get things sorted out, or have a family member help with this. Like Jomo's Girl said, "have someone in place to take care of things."

i think it depends on their job responsibilities and also seeing their families before leaving..........so i cant say that any time frame is appropriate......it depends on each person........lol i hope IF we ever get to that stage in this process that perviz would get on the next plane out but i know realistically will probably be a month or two because of his job.................

why can't everything be taken care of by the time they get their visa? As soon as we sent in her petition she was getting everything done that she needed to do. The 6 months more or less the visa process takes is more than enough time to take care of things.

Sujeet came about 1 1/2 months after his visa was issued. We didn't buy the plane ticket til his visa was approved and then he needed time to do things in India and spend some time with his family that lived in a different city.

If from a country where getting a visa takes longer or the approval is harder to get, I don't think it's wise to wrap up everything if you could be waiting even longer for them to actually issue the visa. Not everyone is in the same situation.

Estadia,

I don't think it takes two months to quit a job. You can give notice for one month....

I assume he has explained why he needs two months. Do you find the explanation unreasonable?

Exactly!

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

My husband came one month after the visa approval. He gave his two weeks notice the day the visa was issued, and took two weeks to go visit his family before he came. It does truly depend on circumstances and what is agreed upon between the two of you. On the other hand....unless there's property to sell, transfer assets, or other such procedures that may take longer, two months is a bit excessive just to "settle affairs" IMO.

I personally don't think 2 months is too long. Of course you miss the person, but you will have years and years with them. It's hard waiting even longer, but they are about to move to a totally different country and start a brand new life. Give them 2 months if they need it even if they have nothing to settle and just want to spend some last weeks in their country since they might not be back for awhile.
