We paid upfront and our application was received January 27. Medical done we got SA the day after Aor and we got file transfer. After that just dead silence
I’ve been married for almost 2 years together for 6. Small wedding without my parents but everything was explained in a letter. We got 4 letters from my brother her mother cousin and a mutual friend. We got proof of financial support and of us posting online and other stuff. It’s crazy I don’t want to think we will get refused.
Trust me I get it. My husband and I were hoping for this summer too since we heard Americans get processed fast and to expect to move in summer. Yeah right. We would have loved to have moved in summer. My biological clock is ticking so I'm on pressed time for that and also I start back up in grad school the last week of August (the commute is only 2 hours one way and we have plenty of students from all over Ontario commute). My courses are $3000 a piece. It is semester suicide to move. And it's not realistic to move in winter time so if it's not this summer it will have to be next summer. That is if we are approved by then because who knows with how the current progress is going. I just totally understand because the waiting does suck and you just want to be with your spouse.
Holy crap. That is a long time. Damn. And people tell me my 4 years together with my hubby is long. I have an endless amount of medical issues that stem from an autoimmune disease which unfortunately developed other issues, so I definitely don't think high BP would be a problem for your hubby. I work in the medical field at a well known behavioral health hospital in my area, and go to grad school for a health related major. I like to think I'm a decent human being too. It really stinks to have so many obstacles and not know why.
Me too. Sadly well you know my situation, not possible for me to move until summer when school is not in session. I just hope and pray we do get approved and yes it would be nice sooner rather than later but approved all the same. So glad to have met you and to also have company during this process. <3
We’ll get through it. Praying for everyone
I thought about it too but in my situation it wouldn’t be so simple. My wife lives in the province of Saskatchewan all the way up north in a small town. It takes me 7 hours by plane and then 6 hours driving to just get to her so it would be a long way to come back regardless of where in the US i decide to go to do my biometrics. I also decided to stay because my parents are staying with me until I leave. Once I leave they will be going back to our home country and I don’t know when I will be able to fly down to Dominican Republic as it is very expensive to fly all the way from Saskatchewan. I am also working and just trying to build my savings account as much as possible so I can have something solid once the time is right to make the move.
Hey I'm a dominican expat as well! Yeah, @melylags I hear you, but unfortunately we depend on both of our incomes so we can't have him stay here as a visitor (unemployed) while the paperwork comes through. So it's a forced long distance wait for us. ugh, maybe we should have just applied inland in the first place (so that he could have applied for a work permit).. but there is no turning back now.
Yay! I was thinking the same about applying inland but since everyone said Outland was faster we chose that route. I had also heard it takes up to 4 months for the work permit to just get approved so that was going to be a for sure 12 month process. I’m 4 months in right now ugh
