thats amazing someone got approval in August already. sorry, i just have read our Thread.

I will update my timeline with you guys, however, i have something to ask.

1. We sent application in Feb to CPC-V(wrongly) and in May CPC-V forwarded it to CPC-M and returned the package since its not the updated forms. My hubby got the UCI but when he checks online, it says the UCI exists. Does that mean our application has not processed yet?

2. He is now Student and last 4 months he was in Vietnam with me as student too. However, he has spending money on this credit card and its minus some thousand dollars. Should he clear his "debt" before the officer touch our application? btw, he is from Quebec, so there is no need to prof his financial abilities. But a credit card debt....? what do you guys think?

i know i have so many questions. some more will come :D

Hello sis!

Seems like you were confused when u posted in this forum instead on the loca l forum for August applicant. ;D Anyhow di mo kailangang i-print lahat. Di mo rin kailangang ipa-translate o itranslate. Ang kailangan mong ipa-translate in English ay yung mga documents issued by the government kagaya ng birth certificate, marriage certificate, and advisory of marriage. Kse di ba sa ibang bansa ang mga birth certificate, marriage certificate ay written in their own language.
Di mo na rin kailangan ipa-authenticate. Yung NSO issued documents will do.

I am applying through USA. I have a nice situation. I work for a band so I am able to live where ever I want and they fly me to start tours with them. They and I are both from the US. So I will work for 2-3 months then I come "home" to my wife's house in Canada for 1-3 months it allows us to spend most of our time together and still allow us to have 2 incomes! I did not specify which VO I wanted because my job is constant travel (different city everyday) and It is easy for me to get where ever I need to go. will they assign a random VO?

Nice set up for you guys!

Yes, You need to have a visa office, so I guess if u didn't specify one they will choose one for you. Buffalo is closed now so those are processed in Ottawa, and I think there's one in Detroit and LA as well (but I'm not 100% positive.) I think they will probably choose whichever one is closest to your home base in the US.

My home base is Minnesota, and I think you are right on those. I know there was sheet that asked where I would want to have the interview and I think Seattle was on that list too? I could be wrong :/

Oh yes, now that u mention it, Seattle rings a bell too. So u have options and if they do it then I assume they will just choose what is closest to you.

Thank you! Do you know if there will be any issues with my multiple entries in and out of Canada, USA, Europe? I have to travel to Europe for a month for work. Will that cause any red flags?

I can't imagine why that would cause any issues. Just make sure when you are entering Canada each time that u say u are visiting and not living with your wife because you are considered a visitor until u receive your PR.

Hey joezimmer,

Travelling is no problem as you are applying outland - you are free to travel as much as you want during the process, so no worries.
If you were applying as common-law it might have been difficult to prove that you have lived 12 months without interruption, but if you are married then there is no issue. As long as your wife qualifies for sponsorship and you have sent proofs of your relationship, your marriage certificate and explain why you spend so much time outside, then it should be fine.
Chances of interviews for US/Can couples are very slim, so most likely you won't have to go to a VO.
AS you are from a visa exempt, they won't ask for your passport anymore (since december 2011), they will ask for the photocopies and issue the COPR on a separate sheet, so it won't be a problem for you to travel.
Good luck with your application,
Sweden
