    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    Who are YOU to judge the sincerity of my relationship??? I meant what the more sensible person who responded said: In the very beginning, when we first met, we would have thought twice about getting involved with someone from another country. If we had stopped the progression of the...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    Thank you for defending my right to be upset about the wait. And for the rest of you: I never said I had it worse than anyone else. How bad it is for each individual or each couple is based on very specific life situations. Just because I CAN visit my husband doesn't make it any easier. ( or...

    Two FBI Clearances?

    Oh..I'm Outland, thank goodness. I understand why some couples end up separating. We are determined to hang tough. We plan to have a renewal of our vows when it's all done. Then, I will be truly home with my husband. Thanks for your responses to my posts.

    Two FBI Clearances?

    I looked at your link and the explanation you have there is very nicely done. Thanks. I still feel confused about the initial FBI check with the finger printing. What was the purpose of that if they are just going to do another? Are they using the fingerprints from this initial check for the...

    Two FBI Clearances?

    I have just been told ( by a local parliament member we asked to check on our case for us) that CIC is doing a second FBI check on me (I'm from the USA and I'm being sponsored by my husband. ) This is confusing to us. We already did an FBI background check with the fingerprinting and all at...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    Wow...that is so terrible that you guys are still waiting like that. That really doesn't make me feel very hopeful for our case either. The honest truth is we love each other, yes..very much. But if we had known it was going to be this complicated to be together, we might have thought twice...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    I certainly don't deny that some people have it worse. But didn't come on here to debate who has it worse. Every person and every circumstance is different. It isn't for anyone else to say that I have it better off or that I'm not languishing. I didn't mean that ALL the answers were cold. It...

    I have no idea what "CAIPS/GCMS notes" are. That's the first I've ever heard of it. How do I request them?

    Thank you. That at least sheds some light on the situation and helps us understand. Any idea how long the "bring forward" date is typically set for?

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    Come on, people. I know no one has any answers. I acknowledged that in my initial post, but " You'll just have to wait. " ? That's a bit of a chilly response to someone who is languishing in an indefinite limbo. I already know I'll have to wait. Which is why I am devastated that there is no...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    I'd be curious to know what makes you think we probably have months to wait? Why would we when they already told us 4.5 months ago we were finished with the first part and they don't need an interview and asked for my passport copy. They needed the CSQ too, and they had that ASAP. There is...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    okay..fine..but what IS the timeline? They asked for my passport copy 4.5 months ago. The CSQ was sent 2 months ago. This is what I'm counting. EVERYONE else I know of got their landing papers within 4 weeks of the request for passport. My application was filed in January of 2013. That's more...

    The sponsorship was approved back in April. And yes..it's CPP-Ottawa.

    Any advise is helpful

    If she is very lucky, yes, there is a chance it will be done by then. ..but, not to be negative..but it's not likely. People need to know the truth and be prepared for it. The wait is typically quite long. ( 8 months on the low end and 15 months or more on the long end.)

    No, our attorney didn't suggest we delay it, but neither did they express how important it was. We felt like perhaps it would have been good if the attorney had told us. There is no way we would have waited on it. In any case, doesn't matter who is to blame. It is what it is. So what do you...

    Any advise is helpful

    I'm not sure what you mean by its becoming dual intent. It seems pretty clear cut that you are married to a Canadian and, as such, you'd like to visit him as much as possible while this excruciatingly long process plays out. You have to always tell the Border Patrol the truth. Don't...

    Devastated at how long it's taking ( over 4 months since passport request)

    Hello everyone...anyone who will read this. I have to write to vent. It has been roughly 4.5 months since the Immigration office requested my passport copy. When we got that email, with the request and the statement saying they would not need an interview and that the first step is finished, we...

    Hoping someone can help answer some questions. Getting desparate.

    Thank you very much for your response to my concerns. I will consider all the points you have made. I'm wondering too , as I'm researching about this, what about the following: "February 18, 2005: Good New for Spouses and Common-Law Partners *OTTAWA, February 18, 2005 — The Honourable Joe...

    Hoping someone can help answer some questions. Getting desparate.

    Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I'm an American who is about to be married to a Canadian citizen and we are applying for him to sponsor me for my PR. I have several questions that I can't seem to find the answers to anywhere. We have been in a relationship for a little over a year. He...
