    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Hi Tow, Believe it or not I have sent you a message a couple of times but I guess it is taking me too long to respond. I think you will hear something this week. Can you please let me know as soon as you do. I don't know what to say anymore. I am hurting inside watching you go through this...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    You have an excellent attitude for somebody your age. I am still very optimistic about your situation. You and I are crazy, we worry about our animals like they are our children. My first baby beagle who is now 14 years old was given to me as a present by my late husband, the other two are...

    FOSS notes

    Hi Arjun, I myself think it is ridiculous to allow people to order notes that they wait a month for and then send them out with nothing in them. Can I ask you what is going on with your case. I see you had an interview, did you get your AIP? Our file was transferred to the local office at...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Well, no news is good news. I'm praying for you. It has been hard trying to enjoy this Christmas as I am sure you have experienced as well. All we can think about is when we will be able to start our life together and how long we have to wait. Hope you hear something soon.

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    One thing about birds as long as they have a partner they seem to be able to withstand almost anything. I have raised cockatiels for years. I have a father and daughter pair left. I got him in 2000 and he had to be at least a year or two old at that time so hes probably 13 or 14 now and the...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Hi Tow, You have done everything you possibly can do. Unfortunately this IO is going to make you sweat this out, no matter what decision she makes. I know that it will be hard if the decision is negative but however this ends, everything happens for a reason and regardless, the two of you...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Hi Tow, I actually sat here crying and wrote you a personal message but it was so long that it timed out. The only thing I can say to you at this point is that I am right beside you all the way through this. I am not going to talk to you about lawyers and consultants. I know your position in...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Please do not give up. Just calm down and pull yourself together. Get all the stuff together she is asking for. If she wasn't considering the sponsorship she wouldn't be asking for the documents. She would just flat out refuse it. Please let me know when you have sent everything in. I want...

    Marriage is ending.

    ETOH I am aware of another couple on a different forum that had the same thing happen to them. They sent there application to Buffalo and then the office closed. They didn't hear from anybody and they had to chase the location of their file. They were given the runaround all over the place...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    I want you to hold your head high and listen to me good. You are not going anywhere. The way I see it you did very well. When I started working at 17 I wanted to ask my dad for a loan but he was pretty much, to say the least, a miserable prick. I went to the bank to ask for a loan and when...

    Australian or NZ applicants - share timeline here !!

    Yes it was the one thing I truly missed when I visited Australia. Every time I asked for a coffee with double cream everybody would look at me backwards but oddly enough they tried to accommodate me to the best of their ability. The shoulder was a quick recovery and I don't even notice that it...

    Inland Applications- File Transferred to Local Office before getting AIP

    Hi Tow, That was going to be my next question, what are they questioning but it sounds like genuineness of the relationship which you won't have difficulty with judging by the sounds of the proof you are going to provide. I already sent two additional packages in to my local office after I...

    Australian or NZ applicants - share timeline here !!

    That is very interesting. My husband came here in January to stay with me for an extended period of time because I was having shoulder surgery. I had visited him in Australia last Christmas where we became engaged. We got married here in Canada in February and decided to do an inland...

    Trying to understand why the approval process has to take so long.

    Hi Tim, I honestly know exactly how you feel. We are a little older than some of the sponsors and I know myself that all I want to do is get this process over with so I can work on my retirement and live the life I have always dreamed of. It is unsettling and I spend most of my days pretending...

    Hi Iav, I am from Ontario and the file was transferred back in October. The wait time here is 4-6 months so I anticipate hearing something in the New Year. Did you call to find out what the wait times are in Vancouver?

    Do you mind me asking what triggered your decision to come to Canada rather than sponsoring your Canadian spouse to Australia?

    Well, everything sounds good and I am glad the parents are helping out. That alone is proof that his parents are accepting the relationship so make sure you keep evidence of the wire transfer for that. Please let me know how it goes today.

    Trying to understand why the approval process has to take so long.

    I actually agree with all the points in this forum but I also agree that we do need to realize what we are getting ourselves into and need to look at all the possibilities of what may come as a result of this including file transfers, long waiting periods, denials and financial and emotional...
