Does your husband realize you guys are two grand deep into this application and if it gets declined you have to start all over again?
You guys are in this together. This forum is great with vast amount of knowledge and info but you need some emotional support to pull through this. I urge you to join fb group for more support as well.
To answer your question we were fortunate enough to receive request for additional proof end of may, responded middle of june, received pfl letter july 3rd but since letter was written june 25, only had 3 weeks to answer back which we did on july 17, received aip aug 1st, dm aug 2nd, just got dm letter an hour ago...
I have spent two weeks searching online and asking for advice. I am part of several FB groups and have recieved the same responses or no help at all. Most recommending seeking professional advice since this is serious or just accepting the refusal and reapplying. I have posted on here asking for advice but have had no luck. I've searched and searched for similar situations.
I've talked with others whos partners worked out of town during the processing of their applications and never had this issue and recieved there PR. I've also spoken to people who are currently applying and are now concerned they will run into the same issue as me.
I originally planned to just pull my application and reapply but was then told by several people it was to late once PFL was received and I also found several older posts stating this same advice which is why I went for professional advice.
The consultant confirmed I can still pull my application if I wish to do so. But they feel that considering my husband was only working away for 5 shifts and not as long as the officer actually believes (my husband changed jobs 3weeks after submission) we have a chance.
My husband supports me emotionally 100% but he is stressed just as much as I am with this situation and is very aware of the financial costs of this whole process and that we will have to start this all over again if we are not successful in changing the officers mind.
Hopefully we can expect a quick response like you.
