    sponsor my colombian girlfriend

    I also had many questions regarding the papers before I got married. I kept a list of what is required. Here is that list. Note that your individual requirements might be different to mine. Some variables you should be aware of: - I am Canadian and British. I hold dual citizenship for both...

    My mistake. I just spoke to my wife. Originally she did miss the email request from the embassy for the marriage certificate, but later she saw it and then sent the notarized copy of the marriage certificate. But, the embassy are saying they haven't received it even though we have a receipt...

    We've found out why our application has been delayed. The embassy requested another document a month ago, but this email ended up in my wife's junk email folder and she didn't see it. Hopefully our case will continue processing again soon.

    Login and then click profile. Then click "Forum Profile Information". It would be useful if everyone added their stats for comparison. Jennpenn, julycathe, p.angie, sampvic don't be lazy - and give something back to the board :) The stats are insightful.

    Yes fingers crossed esims2003. Please do keep us updated. Good news that the embassy are processing cases, even if it is super slow "Colombian time".

    It's Colombia. Maybe the new rules are being adopted by some and not by others at the embassy. The country is a friggin joke when it comes to getting anything done. The only way things get done quickly in this country is if you know someone, and that someone is willing to accept a little gift...

    I was going to go on a big rant about how much I hate this process as well, but I'll stick to the facts :) This happened to my friend last year as well. They asked for his wife's passport, then a couple of months later they asked for the medicals again, as it was over a year since the medicals...

    Yes good luck everyone. We are now at 100 days since we sent the passport. It's not all bad though - I booked my flight to Colombia from Vancouver for Xmas at the weekend :)

    94 days and counting since the passport request. This seems like quite a long time if you compare to here: http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class But, I was browsing through other threads and medellinguy on this site thinks they are asking for the passport eariler in...

    I ordered premium. Here is a tool I found to automatically email you if your ECAS status changes. Since mine hasn't changed since November 2011, I doubt I'll get too many notifications, but thought some of you might also like to try it: e-CAS Tracker = The free service that automatically...

    Ok good to know. We tried all those different combinations and we can still only log in with my details. We sent an email to see why we can't log in with my wife's details.

    Thanks :) I was a little worried there for a sec. We can only log on to ECAS with my name and details, not those of my wife. Looks like our application start and processing times are very similar. Let's hope we both get the visa at a similar time as well.
