Got a 2-year condition. But, we've only been together for 2,5 years and not married (just common-law). Also, my boyfriend only had a part time job when we sent our app - worked as a bartender. He is full time now though.
We also got 12 letters from friends and family about our relashionship and a few of them were norarized (so I better go buy some thank you gifts for them hehe ) ;D
AND we had tons of pictures together. Weird thing, i'm still waiting for my FBI report that they requested. So they either forgot about it or they don't need it.
I did not use a lawyer - a few of my friends did and they had problems with their apps.
Its not a rocket science to do it yourself. Ive read lots of this forum and also the instructions on CIC website, thats it. If you got a question just google it and most likely the answer is on this awesome forum.
Than you guys for all your advice and good luck to those who still waiting!
