Heya - I'm not sure of the time exactly but I heard about 3 weeks. Are you thinking about getting married here? I'm trying to figure out how to work all the red tape of everything. May go down the route of marriage soon.

Yes we're going to get married here and then I'm going to switch to a spousal visa Very Happy We'd though about going to Canada to marry as you don't need approval there, but with the cost of plane/train tickets we figured it might be better to just take our chances here. The people I've spoken to have said it's not hard to get a COA anyway Very Happy 3 weeks isn't too long of a wait. I'm getting ahead of myself planning my wedding and I haven't even got the COA yet haha ^_^

Hoping someone can help me out. I need to get a COA and have heard that it can take anywhere b/w 20-70 working days yet the home office is currently reviewing applications that were submitted in November 2007, almost 6 months ago! Has anyone gone through this application process recently? I'd like to get married in Sept this year and can't really book a venue if it's going to take approximately 6 months Sad

any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Bonnie
