Very many congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. Just last night, after applying for my wife ,almost 15 months ago, she recieved a letter for an interview in Bogota, Colombia for Nov.10...We are both in shock I am sure, but we did not send a lot of evidence, therefore, we will be...

There is an irony ( of sorts ) here. I am not at all for drinking and driving, but, does anyone remember what B.C.'s premier committed a few years ago in Hawaii?

I am sure I should send Bogota more evidence of our genuine relationship. I wondered also about , if I send copies of our correspondence e-mails, what should be translated from spanish? The funny part is that they are in spanish as she does not know english, and I am not fluent in spanish. (...

wow,,,if you landed, I gather your sponsor could still be on the hook for 3 years of financial support? Sorry about the break up.

Just my opinion, but as in my case, if there are only 4 I.O.s working in Bogota, I can understand why they would not want to be bothered repeatedly responding to requests for information until normal processing time has passed, or unless there is an obvious problem. It may be our right to seek...

Super CONGRATULATIONS !

Hi. I had never considered the idea of putting my wife's name on my bank account until she arrives in Canada. Seems strange to put her name now, so as to be proof of the genuiness of our marriage, but if it helps. I may have blown something else. I have been filing my taxes as single, but I am...

Unless seeing your wife on web cam counts, I haven't "seen" my wife since July 08....I wonder, ( unless there are some very complicated factors) who has been waiting the longest to be re-united with their spouse/family on here, but then again,,it really might be tooo much and just scare the ***...

In my situation, time is of the essence. If I were maybe 30 ish,1-2 years apart would suck, but still many years ahead to enjoy each other. At my age, I just don't have lots of years left. I need my wife to help work out our future together financailly and I have a new little daughter who needs...

ParadizeCrysta,,that is what blew me away, a lot of visa offices now say it is taking months longer, and of course as Rasha knows, a few select offices still zip people through in 3-4 months. I heard something before that the gov't wanted to improve the immigration system so that it would...

You guys are great! I appreciate all your info. It would probably just make things so much easier if we actually knew when to expect things. I am sure for a lot of us, the battle of loneliness just promotes the worst in us. I am off work for ? lumber industry, so I cannot go to Colombia to see...

At the start, "longwaitingtime" says, "we are sponsoring parents. As appears on trackitt, sponsoring parents from anywhere can take years. But others on here indicate at times it can take ? 2 years for spouses? Really hope that would be in extremely rare cases.

Suin, the sad fact is there are actually cases of women who have been paid to carry a man's baby. To get into Canada is a total dream for a lot of people, and as much as all of us dislike waiting so long, I admit it must be tough trying to decide who to let in. I know a young lady personally...

Hi Curina,,I am sure someone will respond with details. My experience with C.A.I.P.S. notes is to wait for whatever normal timeline is for your Visa office before ordering, just that if you order too early, you may not get a lot of info, although they seem to help a lot of people. Best Luck

This really sucks. Everytime stats are up-dated, my wait is longer. At one point gov't site read 80% Bogota visa office, 11 months. Every time it is up-dated , they add another month on. It now reads, 80%, 14 months. I do not have the heart to tell my wife that we probably will not spend another...

When I applied , I didn't include a lot of material proving our relationship was genuine. I got some e-mails we had sent even translated by a certified translator, receipts from two flights, hotel, a few edding fotos. I assumed she would be extremely easy to contact, and has tons of connections...

I wondered the same thing.No matter what I type in for my wife's file #, I can't bring anything up. Mine never changes, so, good question. Darkness is no longer a fun place to be in ):

As per C.A.I.P.S. notes, after 6-7 months in Bogota, I finally ordered mine. They didn't reveal hardly anything. They gave her name and daughters. That she is married, has brown eyes, is so high, and granted her 13 years of education, even though she has had more. Medical seemed fine, and thjat...

Thank you faycal. Time is flying for me, but I miss my new wife and new 8 year old daughter.I have not seen them now for 1 year. I often think of it as similar to when husbands go off to war. My wife said "yes", she is the one waiting, but a huge difference, I will probably not be killed before...

Thank you Bancuk for your balanced view. I know this is all a huge issue and difficult for the gov't to handle. I was venting because, ( I really am happy for good people who do not have to wait as long as some of us), but the feeling is something like waiting in line at a super market, and...
