Here is our entire timeline, start to finish. Things took as long as they did (medical exam, clearances, sending app out) because my father was very ill and almost constantly in hospital until his death on 12/18/09. Then my first set of prints got rejected, then when we had everything ready, my sponsor got laid off. A lot of things either went wrong or stood in our way, preventing us from sending our application in a more timely manner, but what matters is that it got sent and I\'m here now :) New applicants: Don\'t feel secure in sending off clearances that are already expired and a medical exam that is set to expire during the process. I think I was lucky in that regard that they didn\'t want new ones.
