Thank you for the quick response.

I am going to hire a consultant to do the paperwork.

Is there always an interview before he will get granted acceptance?

The application is ridiculously overwhelming at first, but once you start, it's actually not as bad as it first appears. It's definitely your decision, but if anything, I would just hire a consultant or a lawyer to review the application to make sure it is complete before submitting it. That always seems to be the biggest misstep- a missed signature, or forgotten form. They checklists are a big help, but always good to have an extra pair of eyes skim it over. This forum is a wealth of knowledge, and everyone is more than happy to help you with any questions or concerns you have through the process. Would save you some money for your Mexico trip and future Jamaican journeys.

As for the interviews- unfortunately, yes- as of the last year or so, it seems Kingston is interviewing everyone before issuing a visa. In my opinion, this is another good reason for you and hubby to do the application together- the interview questions can really only be based upon what information is in the application. By immersing yourself in the tedious task of filling it all out yourselves, you too will know it inside and out!

The good news, is its usually on the spot once the interview is over. So typically speaking, once you have that interview date, you have a pretty good chance of knowing when hubby will be coming home to you!

KVO seems quiet since the last batch was sent July 11th.

for those who receive interview request does gkey show BGC completed?

I have heard so many different things, from hiring a consultant makes it faster and less of a hassle, is this true?

I'm full of questions so I'm going to apologize now, sorry.

hey everyone
glad to see everyone chatting
no change here :-/ but still thankful it reached KVO

question for those with interview dates ( i'm getting exciting for you guys October is around the corner :-D)

Did Kingston only call or sent an email as well ? when huzzy goes out to sea sometimes reception gets bad depending how far he goes, I'm so worried that's when they'll call

 

[JamaicanSnowflake]

Also I agree you can definitely manage putting together the application yourself it's really straight forward and you could always have someone look it over for you.
Just take your time and read all the steps

Things I did extra that wasn't required but just to add extra insurance was
notoriesed all documents and ID's
cover letter

So no fellow Jamaican in this forum wants to speak to me to assist me in anyway they can? Come on I don't think Jamaicans really act this way. I have whatsapp messenger where I can vn to make the conversation easier. My number is 1 876 414-0590. Thanks

If you are planning or getting married or already married or in a conjugal or common law relationship with either a Canadian citizen or permanent resident then you are in the right place and forum. If that's the case you can state your questions or concerns and I'm sure a fellow Jamaican in this forum will give you some advice and help. If not then you may be posting in the wrong thread.

With the help of this site I have started all the paperwork. Its ALOT forsure.

What does PCC mean???

So far I see that my husband has to fill out, the Generic Application Form, Schedule A and Use of Representative, provide passport photos and provide a police record when requested.

Am I on the right path??

Thank you

Anyone know approximately how long it's been taking for unaccompanied children to get visas back after passport requests? Hubby's took hardly any time (6 days back in 2015) but the children's have been sent out 3 weeks ago today and still nothing. They have confirmed they have the passports but we were really hoping to have them here before school starts.
