    Berlin, Europe Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011

    Hey Elizabeth Joe, I was talking to my husband and I was telling him that I had thought you had gotten your visa already... was that just empathic wishful thinking?

    I can't remember the specific number (so can't remember if it is the one posted above), but we did call twice to CIC offices (we don't live in Canada). Today my husband finally received his AOR. But we're a bit bummed because we saw in the updated waiting times that Berlin went up 2 months...

    Berlin, Europe Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011

    Well given that my husband is from a nationality outside of Europe, we thought it might be best to hammer through all the legal documents that can attest to his documented/registered existence in the world. Plus we had one (with English translation) laying around from when we moved to The...

    Sent Birth Certificate for my husband, before they asked for it. Hopefully, this avoid any speed bumps.

    Police Clearance from Venezuela

    Eventually it does become useful, though I will grant you that it is tough to keep up at first. But anyway... now I have something to keep me worried. Had missed this feeling since Friday when we got sponsorship approval. I imagine you applied through Buffalo but lived some time in Venezuela?

    Police Clearance from Venezuela

    I've been reading up, and am slightly confused. Many sites claim that it takes 08 working days and can be issued by signing a "poder" (authorization) for someone to do it for you... however, I know my country (lived most of my life there) and I know how things can vary from what is said. Have...

    Police Clearance from Venezuela

    Pardon my language but... F*CK. 6 months? That is insane. I'm going to get right on this. Thanks for the info and link. We hadn't really acted on this since we remembered obtaining a similar document to emigrate to The Netherlands and it was done within one day... but this... wow... speechless...

    Ours was via email as well. I (sponsor) received it on Friday. My husband (applicant) didn't receive it. We never got a confirmation letter that they had our file.

    SOC, we received it by e-mail, specifically, I did (sponsor). It says: "If you received this communication via email, please note that another copy will not be mailed to you." Which is good news, since we were worried that with our move, it could have gotten lost in the mail if it was not sent...

    I wouldn't worry, we never received one but still got approved today, so clearly it doesn't mean they don't have it. Good luck!

    october 2011 applicant join here!!!!

    I think they know that if they update to the latest case they're working on, they'll get buried in calls, so I think they rather underwhelm us with early dates.
