MD, i don't really understand why you argue? you have just proved my words. Some are getting it right away, other NEVER get it..
the guy asked, how long he has to wait. and i said, it all depends on the situation, sponsor, and many other factors.. and you keep saying: I did.. I came.. I am this and I am that.. nobody talks about YOU, MD, or any other particular case. the question was about the RULES, and I explained the RULES, and clearly stated at the same time, that it might be a WHOLE range of variety from bringing the family at the very same day to getting a visa refused forver...like my friend, a doctor of HMC, couldn't bring his jordanian wife on even a family Visit visa, let alone a residence visa for her... he tried for almost a year, until he met some guy who was able to do it for him...
...there is absolutely nothing to argue about....
