And the birth certificate too! :)

Thank-you Sweden! :D Wishing you and your spouse a long and happy life together!

Just an update for those who may be seeking similar information in the future and come across this post... I never received an AOR or DND but my husband was called on January 7th after about 6 months since the application was sent. He was given his visa 10 days later! Also, my ECAS did not...

I was in the immigration office two weeks ago and they said that only minors will need to update the passport and that all you need is your visa and ticket and you're set to go. Oh and the baja from work or school.

Hi everyone! As some of you may know (I'm on facebook, you know me ;) ), I went to Cuba on January 5th because I was fed up of waiting. Everyone around me was getting 'In Process' or whatnot in their ECAS and I was floating around in silent space! Well, lo and behold, on January 7th around...

Thank-you Double Rainbow! Your husband's interview is coming up really soon! Sending good vibes your way! :D

Hey guys! I've been approved since September 26th. App was sent mid July... Nothing yet! Not even a change in my ECAS. >:( Tired of waiting!! I've been reading this for a while and get really happy when one of you receives good news. ;D

Yes, I received an email regarding the approval along with my UCI and application file number. I do check my spam folder obsessively lately. so who knows! Yeah, I've heard about some people not receiving them. I guess it does depend on my VO. I just hope he/she is at least a happy and pleasant...

I was approved as a sponsor on September 26th. My husband resides in Cuba. As of yet, I have not received an AOR (acknowledgment of receipt) nor did I get my DND (do not disturb date). I've spoken to other people with similar timelines and whose spouses are Cuban as well, and all of them have...

My husband and I will "chat" by email when he's got a day off. We email each other pictures of our daily lives, like foods we ate and places we visited lately. Makes us feel a tad closer. I totally agree about the family! They mean well, of course! Good to see such a positive thread. The...

I love this thread! I wish I had seen it before mailing my application off! Mine was about four and a half pounds, and I had everything neatly divided in coloured paper folders with labels, which were then placed in separate envelopes. I didn't even need to mail it in a box. A Canada Post large...

...unless we lose control and purchase the next Sunwing flight, of course! Hehe!

Oh, that's clever! I was so filled with panic that I really didn't think of alternative options, haha! I think the worst are the often repeated questions "So, why isn't your husband here yet?" or "How are you enjoying the married life?" Um...sponsoring isn't an overnight process and I really...

OMG! I would've flipped!

Hahaha! I thought I was the only one that had crazy panic after I mailed my sponsorship app! For the first week, I'd wake up in the middle of the night feeling complete terror and convinced that there was something I forgot to include in the package! I also keep fearing that they'll lose...

Ugh and I totally sympathize with the wanting to know something, anything! You feel so powerless all of a sudden. As if organizing a wedding in Cuba wasn't chaotic and stressful enough (mine was pretty much organized the week before despite being engaged for seven months!). Still, you feel sort...

Thank-you! You've got me all excited now!! :D I would've sent the application even sooner but we had forgotten the 8 pictures required. He found a way to get it to me and guess what? Wrong size! Finally, a friend of mine was visiting Cuba and was able to bring back the right photos. Needless...

Hi everyone! I'm also sponsoring my husband from Cuba. We were married in May and the application was sent nearly three weeks ago. Right now I'm back home in Canada and missing him tons!
