My sister just turned 21 last May, she left with her husband who's in the army now stationed in Japan.

So with all that going on, plus they were requesting information to make sure everything was ok to apply it has taken some time. Major delays now are sending my sister the 30+ pages she has to sign and then having them returned back.

Not to mention the cost, thankfully i have saved since I first started working so I am able to help them with that.
Believe me, my parents and I have been waiting for this for 20 years now, insane.
