It looks like we are next in line. There are only about 2-3 december applicants left. Thanks for the info but we actually are not in Manila. We're in Yokohama so the process is a little different. For one, we don't need to send in our passport. GT, who is also here in Japan, said awhile back...

Heh GT, If you're still hanging around here can you tell me what you needed for the app A. We are next in line it looks like but still waiting. My husband is off on a business trip next week out of country and I was wondering what we need to send in with app A so we can get it ready in case...

Heh gt. Step means the permanent resident visa. You get some sort of paper in the mail that you submit to immigration when you arrive. And I know what you mean about the deadline. Ours will be nov 1 and of course we can't leave then. Not with three kids in school. We timed it, or thought we did...

Ya! Glad to hear it.

We're also in japan going through the same process except we have three kids. Thank goodness they are duel citizens and I don't have to sponsor them as well.We plan on waiting until my husbands visa is approved through before heading over, since he's the main breadwinner. I'm hoping that won't...

Hi Yes, I've been watching how December people are getting passport requests and hoping ours does come soon. But I'm taking about the website where you can sign in and see your status. Since I got the letter in January I've bee signing in to see if anything changes. It has always said...

Wow. It seems like everyone's story is so different. I didn't receive or hear anything until they sent me a letter clearly stating that I had met the requirements to satisfy sponsorship. That was way back in January and I haven't heard anything since. But I did notice recently that their dates...

Heh guys, We are heading to canada for the summer and my husband will join us for a week. We're leaving a week before my husband so he'll be coming through immigration by himself. We do this every year and of course, up until now we've had no problem but I'm worried about this time. Would be...

I'm sorry. I don't know much about this process but why are you separated from your child? Are you and your husband both japanese? If you are, my understanding is that your baby can be with you in canada while you wait for pr for the child. I'm not exactly sure but separating a child from...

Hi GT. Sorry. Didn't see your earlier mail saying you recieved appendix A. And no, I've never heard of it except people posting here about it. The info I sent earlier from the japan guide for pr application indicated that the first thing you hear about is decision made. I'll keep my eye out for...

Heh GT, In the spreadsheet I notice that you posted that you had received a passport request. Good news! I thought because japan is visa exempt they don't require the passports. Did you get some other type of correspondence? Was it a letter requesting a copy of the passport? Heather

Safe travels step.

We sent all of our stuff in together too not knowing there was an expire date on the med. my husband will go ballistic if they request another one! Oh well, we also thought we would have a six months or so to get it all together before he needs to go to canada to get the visa and that doesn't...

Hey GT, We're also in Japan and living in Yokoyama until my husband's visa comes through. Step I already had this conversation and he pointed out that Japan is visa exempt. But I was curious and went back and read the case processing information in the sponsorship guide specific to Japan. So...

Btw, I just wanted to thank everyone who is posting their stats on the spreadsheet. It's so fun watching the date creep closer and closer. It sure looks like they are moving faster these days. Hope that's good news but really worried they will come back and ask for further proof of our move to...

Thank you for the info. But actually, we plan to wait until his visa comes through. I had just read somewhere it was possible. Heather

This may be a little too personal but I'm wondering why so many couple are living apart while they apply for their visas. My understanding was that my husband could wait in canada until the visa was approved but could not work, even with an Outland application. Is that because japan is visa...

Hi. Thanks for your advice. It's my husbands private account so I won't ask him for his password. I guess I was asking if more info is needed how many months in do they ask for it? That way I can tell my husband to keep an eye out for it. He might just assume it's spam and delete it or may have...

Hi. Just a quick question. We are 5 months in now and I'm wondering if they needed additional documentation would they email me, the sponsor or my husband, the applicant. He doesn't check his very often. Heather

Hi. We sent ours in to canada in December last year. It took a long time before I could log on. I wasn't able to until after I received the sponsorship approval and used the application code listed there. First thing you should see is the email from them accepting (I hope!) you're sponsorship...
