I'm still new here but i wanted to share experiences with people going through this process, I never thought it will take me all this time have everything together and still having finishing. But like I say it helps me a lot see what's going on. I'm from Mexico and my husband is sponsoring me but he hates paper work so i'm pretty much gathering all the information for both of us :-X
Hahaha... I know how you feel! I've sent everything well organized to my fiance in Canada from Brazil, only for him to sign, and he complained...
I printed all the pages for him, so he wouldn't even have to go to an Internet Café...
I guess we girls have more patience for these things, eh?

Same here. I gathered all the evidence, pictures and chat/phone records and e-mails, dealt with translations, marriage documents for our wedding in Brazil etc. He had to deal only with his sponsor part of the application. I think I felt better doing it myself since I pay attention to every detail.

Ok, my hubby had to drive me to the Internet cafe so he had no choice :). Driving in Trinidad is even too much for a road warrior like me!

During our courtship my beloved man demonstrated - patience, persistence and determination so after we got married I returned the favour along with organizational skills, ability to multitask and all of the above ;) I wonder if any of the husbands are reading this thread and thinking.....oh.....so it was more work than I realized!! ;D

My fiance used to say: "You didn't finish to put it all together yet? When are you going to send me this so I can sign?" I believe that once it got there, he understood...
I wish all husbands would take a look at this thread... And not only this thread, but the whole forum, and understand how much research we had to do to fill out all the forms! =]

Hey Jeep, husbands are not useless at all come on... What I meant was that usually the sponsored has more work than the sponsor on the application. After all the evidences has to come more from the sponsored.
My hubby is very useful to me! lol

Exactly! My fiance dislike doing paper work, but he is the one who cooks, while I can't deal with the kitchen, at least when it comes to cooking!

A few months of paperwork versus a lifetime of cooking? I'd say you won :p

I do the large majority of our cooking right now because I'm home all day while hubby is working.

He says I'm making him fat.

Hehehehe.
