Good luck! Can't believe it's been over 3 years for you! If that was the case for me I would have reconsidered lol

If you can afford a lawyer, go for it. For those who are nearing the end of the process. Once your spouse arrives, the custom officer will say that the PR will be sent to your address and should receive it at the latest 2 months. I found out the hard way today that they forgot to send it...

I think the chat logs is a bit excessive. I didn't attach any chat logs or even phone call logs and it was ok.

Where do you work, what do you do, and what's your salary? These comes into play..

Thanks! Just booked our tickets, 6 weeks from now. Transiting through ICN, have already taken her to HKG and I find the NRT airport boring relatively. ;D

Question for those who brought their spouse back: -Which country can you transit through without needing a visa? Hong Kong, Seoul, Narita, Beijing, Shanghai are my options

Visa finally came in ;D Time to book tickets!

Congrats CanadaVietnam :) Funny you mention about it being weird living together, I'm wondering myself how it's going to be after being a bachelor for so long... Thanks for sharing all this info, it is very helpful. Looking at your timeline, can't believe it took you nearly 3 years!

Thank you! Definitely getting anxious to book our tickets to go pick her up right away! Does anyone happen to know which cities we can transit by without requiring a transit visa? From what I see for now, there is Hong Kong, Taiwan and possibly Japan...

Thanks for the info! My wife is flying into Saigon this wknd to submit the final paperwork. I was hoping it would take sooner than 6 weeks (like 2 weeks), but in this case I will tell her better not stick around. Getting excited to book our tickets soon!

Sounds like you are well-prepared for it, and you have done your research. Good luck! To add more background to my story to support the timeliness: -2010: Met each other -2011: Met each other's families -2012: Got engaged - traditional and simple, 20 foreign caucasian guests -2013: Got...

Hey, it did mention to wait 6 weeks after the medical exam. But we did talk to the doctor and he mentioned that there were no issues and that it was sent electronically. So my gut tells me that 6 weeks is more of a "precaution" to give them enough time to have received and reviewed the...

Not sure they will accept "metadata" as it can be manipulated, and aren't necessarily technically advanced, heck you can't even send a DVD full of photos. What is important is to have plenty of witness. The fact that you have your family coming down from all over the world is a great start...

My package was pretty detailed since I captured all the trips together along with the airline tickets, the hotel receipts and photos of us together with the respective landmarks. Having a bunch of photos on its own is not enough as the "timestamp" can be manipulated. I didn't bother including...

Hey all, just wanted to share my experience to those in the process. -Dec '12: They received my package -Dec '12: I got approved to be a sponsor (2 days turnaround) -Jan ' 13: Singapore receives application -Aug '13: Application is in process, and they have requested my wife to send a new...

It can take 26 months from the receipt of the application in Singapore, in your case October 2014 (1 year and 7 months left)

Tell me about it, my work is getting tired of me taking off all the time. Also airline tickets aren't the cheapest either to VN, including all those side trips within Asia! 2 years, that must be tough, not sure how you do it to be honest! By SVO, I am assuming you mean Singapore Visa Office...

How can we measure how "strong" it is? Just to give a background. I'm 28 and my wife is 22. We met 3 years ago. We got engaged in Jan 2012 and Married Jan 2013, both times in Vietnam. During that 3 years, I have been back to Vietnam about 9 times, where I took her to Singapore, Malaysia...

Hi all, New to this forum and have went through this thread. Sounds discouraging to see some ppl have been waiting nearly 2 years! My application only got received 6 weeks ago in Singapore, and initially I figured it would only take 6-8 months. In the last 3 years (since I met my wife) I...
