Thank you, I understand. Having a hard time getting my husband on board as he has hopes for US GC and says he’s willing to wait in India if it comes down to it :/ A couple of other members mentioned that my reasons for putting down spouse as not accompanying might not be considered valid and...

Thank you. We hope to be in the pool before the next draw; expecting my ECA next week. If we are willing to wait to sponsor, do you think applying alone is a good option? Would “spouse not willing to quit his job” qualify as a valid reason for not accompanying? And in case my application is...

I agree that GC would take forever. Husband prefers the US, so I was just curious. Thanks for your response.

Honestly, a year would be just right since he doesn’t want to move till then anyway. But since people say one year left on H1B is not a valid reason for spouse not accompanying and PR could be refused, I don’t want to take the risk, especially if I may be prevented from applying again. Are you...

Thanks for all your responses. It sounds like waiting and having my husband take the IELTS again would be a better option. I can’t think of any new reasons other than my husband’s dislike for the cold and snow :p I don’t want to flip-flop between accompanying and non accompanying as I feel like...

Thanks! I’m just worried because I’ll be putting him down as non accompanying. I guess there is no way to stop worrying till the process ends. Thanks again for your prompt responses.

You’re right on both counts. He doesn’t want to move till he exhausts his H1B (just over a year left) and I’d like to sponsor him at that point. We did think of applying together and he took the IELTS. He got CLB7 & 8 and I got CLB 10 in all so our score comes out to 437 if we apply together...

Thank you! I did check that I’m eligible and have 441 points on the CRS calculator which was today’s draw score. So I’m assuming I have a good chance of getting picked (fingers crossed). Regarding proof of funds, will it suffice if we convert my husband’s account to a joint account? Is there a...

My husband is working in US on H1B and I’m on H4 and currently unemployed. I have 4 years of experience working in India from 2011-2015. I’m planning to apply for EE as spouse not accompanying (I will declare that I’m married). We also have a one year old baby who I’m planning to include in my...
