We did common law and with a big 39 year age gap and we got approved in under 6 months with no interview or even any need for additional documents. Just be sure to show a lot of proof.

Does anyone know how long after passport is received does it usually take for VFS to send a confirmation email with tracking number? Our passport was sent by courier and shows received by VFS at 6 PM last night. Is it reasonable to expect them to email you the day after?

Thank you! we feel so relieved, like a big weight off!

Very nice pic and looks genuine and well matched to me and no way does it look like a big age gap at all. As long as you have enough proof and time together, I don't think you should have any problem

We still did not submit our application - we're planning to do so in November and it will be outland common law sponsorship. I hear it is not very common in the Philippines so I hope that will not be a problem. We feel we have enough proof, 2 years on facebook before meeting and now living...
