There have been cases where this has had a negative impact. I've even heard about an IO writing in the notes that she didn't believe the relationship was genuine, for several reasons, but listing the fact that the husband (PA) was walking a little ahead of the wife (Sponsor) and according to the...

Also, sometimes it has been counter productive. And that's correct, many times they won't even let the spouse be in there. Often, the immigration officers don't have issues with the sponsor's side, rather with the applicant's side. When that is the case, it is completely irrelevant if the...

Hi there. It can take several weeks to a few months for the passport request. The pre-arrival services letter simply means eligibility is passed (relationship is genuine). It doesn't mean the other checks such as criminality or background and medical have been assessed or completed yet.

You have until March 15th, if I am correct, to use and submit the old application package with the old checklist. That being said, you don't need to provide police certificates upfront, as long as you apply before March 15th. Your husband needs to have a valid status in order to qualify for an...

Sir, this is not a forum about politics, if you want to talk about that, I suggest you find a different forum. This forum is for family sponsorship related topics only.

She would just need a passport that doesn't expire within 12 months once she gets the passport requested for visa stamping.That's all.

Don't pay attention to that, just pretend it's not even there.

One hour and a half of actual questions, the rest was just waiting between sessions of questions and just waiting more.

No, sponsor's travel history doesn't need to be included.

Yep, theirs is on March 19. Good luck to them, by the way! I feel the same though, not optimistic at all. I also imagine the worst scenario, this is what the process does to you.

My wife actually got a nasty burn on her hand this Saturday and will be off work for a few weeks. It kills me not being able to be there to take care of her. Last year I broke my foot, but we couldn't be together that time either. You just miss out on so many things, it's heartbreaking. We...

Unfortunately that is not the case. It's not enough to just have a genuine relationship. You have to prove it. Some people get nervous in the interviews, or get asked bullshit questions that not even genuine couples would know the answers to them. Sometimes the immigration officer simply does...

The reasons for an interview can vary. Generally it is because they don't believe your relationship is genuine, or have concerns about it. The interview will be your opportunity to change the immigration officer's mind. An interview is generally a bad thing, it slows down your process a lot, and...

If you mean that the immigration officer having doubts about the relationship being genuine doesn't mean it's a bad thing, then I guess you are right and it doesn't mean a bad thing. Unfortunately, obviously it does mean it's a bad thing. People don't get called to interviews just because, nor...

I know you want answers, but how would anyone here know what the embassy wanted to talk to your wife about? It can be anything, and you can probably think of what it could be by yourself. Just wait until she can figure out what it is they want, there's no point in going over it right now with...

This process is a nightmare that doesn't look like it'll ever end. I would be very surprised if there was someone who had nothing but positive experiences about it. I keep thinking about how we'll never ever get this time back, it's gone to waste pretty much. Like most people, I feel like my...

As long as all you do is print it off, it will be okay. Make sure you use the same high quality paper a photographer would use. Another option would be taking the file to a professional photographer so they can print it off there. It is my understanding that your wife will go to get the photos...

You should order your GCMS notes to find out exactly what the issue is. Generally, the files whose principal applicants are US citizens that are transferred to Los Angeles visa office, have something concerning that requires further assessment from this visa office, since usually the...

Yes that would work. Make sure all the sizes are okay though. You can hand write the information on the back, that is fine.

Yes, height of my face was bigger than 36mm.
