Hi,

I'm not sure which page(s) from 3911E Family Class Sponsorship form should an Iranian applicant include in his/ her application.

To me it appears we only need to fill pages 12 to 15 along with document checklist ( page 2 to 7 ). Also do we need to fill residency questionnaire included in this package? Or are they for Abu Dhabi and Islamabad applicants only? (on top of these residency pages it's marked Embassy of Canada in Islamabad as well as Abu Dhabi).

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Anyone?

They asked for interview because they have concerns my husband might be using me for getting a visa. I agree our couple is very odd (read my older posts, I've already explained the situation a few times) and that, on paper, everything is playing against us, but reality is not always as it seems to be. Therefore I knew he would be required to go for an interview, but I've never expected it to be conducted the way it was. We arrived 30 minutes earlier, the visa officer was more than one hour late. My husband is shy and doesn't master Turkish and English enough to expand on anything (his mother tongue is Language 1, he studied in school in Language 2 and English (Language 3), lived most of his life in a country where official languages are Language 4 and Language 5, is now living in Turkey (Language 6), and is now learning French (Language 7)), so he gave the VO very short answers. Of course, he was also terribly stressed.

The questions the VO asked him were the usual ones. I was not in the interview room with him, but from what he told me afterwards, he was not asked anything unusual, except this insulting "Why did you marry an older woman?" Woah! I'm just 9 years older than him! Also, I can't imagine a visa officer asking the same question if the husband was 9 years older than the wife, so please give us a break! Since I went with him, I've been also asked a few questions so that the VO could confirm my husband knows important facts about my life.

And now, the stressful waiting continues...

thank you for the info I will be following that forum as well

I don't know how many of you follow my weekly statistical analyses. For those who follow, the reports will change systematically next week and I will omit some of the older data. The changes will be related to the growing strength of the statistical models in accordance with the numerous recent PPRs.
The point is that now I am able to report the medians within the groups. So the overall numbers will still follow the previous methodology but the within group's numbers will change to medians that are much more accurate than means.
Moreover, I am going to change the bases of the grouping. To the best of my knowledge, the grouping milestone (cut of point) should be changed to the approval date instead of the application date. Approval date is the better cut of point while the time between approval date and PPR reflects specifically the Ankara VO's timeline.
Any suggestions?

Hi everybody. My spouse got his PPR e-mail today. Hope you all get yours soon.
Mehran and us applied on the same day last January.
Niloo Jan, I think you should be waiting for yours since you applied a little bit after us.
