@fatima-ahmed Please respect that this is a TIMELINE THREAD ONLY and any questions, requests for updates etc have been and will be deleted.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
