    anybody from dominican republic?

    If the application is in transit you might have to wait! I really hope that was just a type-o and they are actually sending it to Dominican Republic. No where in the forms anywhere do the ask the visa office you will be processed at. They choose they visa office based on citizenship and...

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you've applied Inland, it makes sense.

    anybody from dominican republic?

    With those proofs that you listed, it sounds like everything should be ok. The visa officer may see the fact that you have only physically been together 3 times as a red flag, as it is not much, but that is not anything that cant be overcome. Also, since you have only been together for 1 year...

    5 YEAR SPONSORSHIP BAN QUESTION. URGENT!!!!!!!

    Ok yes! I was certain they wouldn't be allowed to sponsor before 5 years. It makes sense. Thank you for clarifying our confusion!

    5 YEAR SPONSORSHIP BAN QUESTION. URGENT!!!!!!!

    Well then. There you go! I totally didn't realize that. I was always under the impression it applies to everyone. I certainly think it should apply to everyone, but it's not up to me! Now, have there actually been people who were sponsored by a spouse when their application was in before the...

    5 YEAR SPONSORSHIP BAN QUESTION. URGENT!!!!!!!

    Sponsorship ban applies to everyone that was sponsored by a spouse. It doesn't matter if the ban was implemented after the application was submitted. Everyone who was sponsored by a spouse must wait 5 years after landing before they're eligible to sponsor a new spouse. You won't be eligible to...

    anybody from dominican republic?

    I got AOR about 10 days before receiving sponsor approval. So if sponsor approval is about 60 days, don't expect to hear anything before the 50 day mark. Not to mention, not everyone gets AOR. I got it both from Mississauga and Santo Domingo, but not everyone does.

    anybody from dominican republic?

    If they require anything they will let u know, most likely by email, however there is a small chance they could send u a letter by post. If 4-6 months pass and u havent heard anything u can always order your GMCS notes and see what has been written on your file. This will have any notes t he...

    anybody from dominican republic?

    My husband didn't have a license there, so we didn't go through this, but from what I understand for those who did, your husband will need to get a letter stating is length of driving in DR as well as his driving record. This, I believe will need to be legalized. It will need to be translated...

    Spousal sponsorship

    pay the RPrF fee immediately. If you wait to pay it, it will cause delays. Scan and send a copy of the receipt to Cairo. Send the physical copy to RPRF payments or other correspondence: CPC Mississauga P.O. Box 6100, Station A Mississauga, ON L5A 4H4 Here is a link showing the address for the...

    Spousal sponsorship

    AOR = Ackowledgement of Receipt - if you receive an AOR it is just CIC letting u know they have your application and that they have actually opened it up and are starting to review it. This could happen at the first stage in Mississauga and at the second stage in your visa office, however, not...

    Bar code pages at top of which application?

    Agreed. Bar codes on top of everything so it is the first thing the visa officer sees when it is opened. This way they scan it immediately, and you are then in the system.

    2 simultaneous applications??

    It has either just changed or will be changing to 4 years out of 6 in Canada as PR to apply for citizenship. Hopefully it doesn't get much longer than that!

    Spousal sponsorship

    The guide says to label it, so hopefully it doesn't cause much of a delay since they will have to just open your application to see. The thing I'd be worried about is that in the past CIC has put OUTLAND applications with the inland ones, but that has been few and far between. There isn't...

    62 days is for sponsor approval only. Once sponsor is approved, it will be sent abroad to your visa office to approve the applicant.

    2 simultaneous applications??

    Depending on what the residency obligations are for the US, it might be difficult to meet them both. Also, not sure about the US, but for Canada, if you're not currently living in Canada as the sponsor, u have to show proof that u plan to reside in Canada once PR is granted to your spouse. If...

    Separation certificate

    Yes, I understand that OP has not stated that they're common law, Only that they are engaged, which is why I ask. If they are only just engaged and not common law they can't apply for sponsorship until the spouse is actually divorced. Legal separation is not good enough to apply if they are...
