My husband arrived today in Canada to visit us and they let him in, no questions asked! :) my family will be together for Christmas and New Years!

Thank you! I was just inquiring about them. We haven't been refused and by the sound of it I hope we never have to go through it! What happens if the ADR is lost and the full hearing is lost too? Is there any hope? Surely they can't do that can they!? What a nightmare.

I do not, but I qualify both under my husband and my father to get it. I just never did because the consulate only comes once a year to Vancouver and it's very pricey. I could get it though.

Okay wait, so there are things that don't have to be submitted with the application? Which documents are they? I had no idea! Also, my husband needs Criminal Clearance in Canada - my lawyer told him to send us his fingerprints but I have read that clearance doesn't need to be requested by us -...

That is a fabulous idea Avissa! Though, I'm not sure Croatia has an agency in the same field I work in but it's worth a shot to look into!

It's early in the month but I figured I'd make a hangout spot. We haven't submitted yet, but plan to in the next couple weeks! I do hope there isn't a thread already! We are applying via Austria, I hear the wait times are terrible; just our luck! As of now, my daughter and I will most likely...

Would someone kindly explain to me the difference between an ADR and a full hearing? Do you have a choice? What is the better one to get?

This is what I am afraid of. My husband and I have been married for 2 years, it'll be 3 on January 29th. We didn't start his application, eventhough he lived with me because financially we couldn't do it - I am the only one that works, I was pregnant and on bed rest for more than half a year and...

Thank you Avadava! I am absolutely astonished at the contradicting information that was given to us. We were told medicals would be valid within the year and criminal clearances 6 months. I'm even more disgusted with the legal counsel we chose now. I am glad we have now hired a reputable lawyer...

Another question, my husband had medicals done already as well as a criminal clearance in Canada, since he was here. We have a copy of criminal clearance from his home country also. I am wondering what the expiration dates on those documents are. How long are they valid for?

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. He does not have employment but he does have family there, he has 2 sons, a father and a brother. His children were taken out of their mother's care because she is useless, to put it bluntly and my husband worked abroad and could not be there for his...

I did not realize I had to be that specific. My husband is being sponsored through Vienna yes, I am Canadian born. On the check list of documents it states that I need a copy of Custody documents for children of a previous marriage. I am asking what sort of documents those are. He has no rights...

I am lucky enough that I can take a leave at work for up to 5 years and not lose my job. I work for the government so I would hate to have to quit. I just don't know what we would do there. Unemployment is so high in Croatia, people can't live. I fortunately have family that will help us, they...

Hello, I have a question. My husband has children from a previous marriage. He does not have custody of them, only one of them is still a minor and in government care. Does he go to his country's Ministry of Children (or something similar) and get a paper confirming that? What should the...

Zdravo Nado! My daughter is 19 months old. A year is a long time.. good God. Has he been able to visit at least? I would rather not have to move to Croatia, it's gotten so bad there in the last while but if I have to, I have to!

Ahh I see, thank you very much BC2013. I appreciate it! Good luck on your journey!

Thank you everyone! He is from Croatia. It doesn't sound good you are right, but we have a lawyer and we're ready to do whatever we have to do. We owe it to our daughter. Our lawyer says that he may attempt return with his application confirmation, our marriage license and my daughter's...

Hello Everyone! My husband left Canada Thursday, he had no status so he left in hope to return asap as we have a child together. He overstayed 4 years and was approached by CBIS at the airport upon departure. They wrote down his return information and asked him all sorts of questions, gave him...

I have a few questions, my husband was a 4 year overstay. He left without CIC involvement (we bought the ticket etc) and he is currently in Europe. He is to return on November 21 as we have a child together and he cares for her while I work. My question is, if he arrives they can deny him...
