I got through! The telephone operator stated that "Decision Made" means the person who sponsored IS eligible to do so. The second part that gets mailed off to wherever (in our case Buffalo) determines if the person being sponsored is eligible.

Trying to call but they keep saying no one is available to take my call and they hang up.

For the USA it's 11 months and we are hoping it takes that long. IF we get approved. The reasoning is I have a really good job right now in the US and gaining experience is very important and it's only been a year I've been working here. I want to be sure to have great experience before I try to...

We only caught that just before sending it in. And I mean JUST before. We made 3 copies.

It is a rough situation. We were apart for the first 18 months of our relationship. Only visiting a few weeks out of every 4 months. We had a lot of arguments but it was always remedied by lots of love. We spent about 6 months together and then I had to go to LA to finish university. So we were...

Mississauga is only an hour and 15 min from where the letter needs to go. It was sent on the 11th so I can only hope it arrives today!

It definitely does say Decision Made. It was mailed out on May 11th and I know that the mail in Canada can be extremely slow. We sent our paperwork off and spend $20 bucks on next day delivery. It took 4 days to get an hour. So, I have no hope that the letter will arrive promptly.

If I got an email, it must have went to my junk folder immediately, and been trashed. What should I do in this instance?

For anyone who has already received a letter. What does it normally say? Is it one sheet of paper?

I also got 'decision made' I guess I am just nervous because we applied as Conjugal and were told that it's nearly impossible. So, I'm freaking out!

I've been trying to go back and look at what Decision Made meant to people. I have no idea if this is good or bad. It's been just over 30 days that they've had my paperwork and have said that they sent us out a letter. Does this mean it's a bad decision made?

I have an R number and I still cannot log in. Guess they haven't even touched my paperwork yet because it says "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons" and so on and so forth. So...still waiting.

I don't have any kind of a number though. The 'receipt number' I have doesn't match anything and starts with an R, and when I use it, it says it should start with a B. So I am totally confused.

This is a good question as I don't know much and I am trying to get updates. But I don't have anything they requested. And I am unsure of what this receipt number is. Since I don't have one.

Haha, thanks. As wonderful as that would be, we don't want to rush it. One of those things we're taking our time with.

You need 8 photos total. 4 for the medical, and then another 4 for the photo part of the application. The 4 for the application are ridiculous and we had a heck of a time finding someone who would do it. And it took about an hour for them to be cut down to size. Just not fun at all.

Cannot apply as common law because we haven't lived together for a year. Blame that one on the lack of same-sex laws in the USA. I can't move to Canada if I can't work. We would not be able to support ourselves. And yes, temporary work permit.

So I'm thinking, since we applied under the near impossible conjugal sponsorship...if we are denied, can I apply for a work visa? I know that to get a work visa, you have to have 'special skills' and I do not. But to live together we would need to be able to both work. At least for the first...

2011/04/07 08:14 MISSISSAUGA Item successfully delivered Let's hope it gets processed soon. And by the way, it took 4 days to get an hour and ten minutes. From where it was mailed to Mississauga should not have taken that long at all. And we paid expedited shipping. This must be a joke. Do...

Sorry to double post. Just wanted to ask...if they receive our paperwork today, how many days is most likely before they actually open it? I ask because the fingerprints expire on the 11th of this month (the three month period they give) and I am worried.
