How long did your spouse visa take?

Okay, this happened a while ago, but I had imagined I'd be waiting a few months for my spousal visa to come in...

But it was only 4 days inbetween submitting my documents to Immigration and receiving their postcard "come get your passport stamped, you're in!"

Okay, so the postcard doesn't say that, but it MEANS that.

How long does a spousal visa application typically take? I was just blown away, especially considering I had to submit like 17million documents...

I actually just got mine last month too. It took about 2 weeks from going to the office to getting the postcard. I was pleasantly surprised.

Mine took less than 2 weeks.

Depends on a zillion factors. You're not complaining, are you? :)

Nono, I'm not complaining at all. I was just so surprised and I was wondering if such ~marvelous~ speed was normal?

Abroad: 1 week... like a *****, I didn't make it to Japan before it expired, so...

In Japan: 10 weeks
