Your message is rather vague but I want to bring your attention to the marriage of different culture usually gets hard time for approval & those chc (crazy heartless creature) look at these cases very critically. So it would be in your best interest that should accompany your souse to the embassy when called for the interview. Plus have you ever visited your spouse and how many times, and if your wedding pictures & your honeymoon pictures were sent in or not. I don't mean to scare you but because of different culture they look at this kind of marriage as a marriage of convenience. May Allah help you.
Dear Impulsive,
My message is rather clear had you read it a few weeks ago also!!!
We applied Sept 2010 I was approved to sponsor my husband it followed to Islamabad.
I have been to Pakastin 5 times since that plus when we got married and I'm here now too. In fact when they called him for his interview we both went together butas policy has it no visitors. But they had to reconsider as I just had major surgery a few months back cause of a work accident and will no longer be able to work ever again in my feild of work.
He told CHC I was outside and after proving who I was and being a Canadian they let me in while they interviewed him.
We had sent an extensive file of over 400 pages nd when we went for interview we had about as many papers as we sent in. THEY REFUSED THEM SAYING THEY HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH PROOF ALREADY.
The interviewer found my hubby to be a very honest and sincere man.
Now all I asked is what could we expect about second interview and what it means.
And about different culture I'm a North American Indian from the MICMAC Tribe and I'm also older them him and he told the beautiful story of the Holy Prophet's Wife (pbut) and he was not aware but found it a beautiful love story,he was not Muslim.
And as for going to the CHC with my hubby I dont think your aware of things here as no visitors are allowed there when a spouse is interviewed so think twice about going there with them.
He the Interviewer was interested in my husbands job as its with United Nation's and there hiring policy is as tuff to get in as with Immigration.
And about cultures in Canada they are all mixed so speak softly next time as your thoughts and ideas were Impulsive as the ID>
Salam and May ALLAH bless you and your family and may Allah make it easy for all Inshallah
