Also let me know if anyone had any experience after they were requested RFPR fee. Thanks!
Didn't your sponsorship approval letter say that your file had been forwarded to Kingston? I think the RPRF request is a good sign of that.

Hey @chris22 @mckay8228 @JaCan2022 @Shellzie

It seems you have spousal applications in progress with Kingston VO. Could you share your current status?

I applied in February and last update was background went in progress on April 19...silence after that.

Would also be open to starting a WhatsApp group for current applications if anyone is interested...

Sure, ill message you my number. we submitted our application June 13 so you are more advanced in the process.
 
Hi! I sent my application online for sponsoring my husband from jamaica on July 20 and no file number as yet. Do you know how long it takes? thank you!
 
Hey everyone. Just saying hi. It’s been a while since I’ve chatted with the group. About to sponsor my step daughter soon. My husband has been here 2 years now this week. Good luck to you all with the process.
 
does anyone have a strong understanding of CBSA notes? We recently received ours and there was a concern of cultural differences so our file was sent for further review. Has anyone had this note by an officer? If so, did you address it? Did it have a negative impact on application? Was an interview required? Any guidance is appreciated

Is there a large age gap? Have you known each other long? What is your timeline?
 
I am older than my husband by 2.5 years.. we have been dating since dec 2020( met via friend in October 2020) engaged July 2022 married January 2023
It's hard to say why they have a concern with regard to a cultural difference. I only knew my Jamaican wife for 10 months when we got married, so it sounds your relationship was well established longer than mine. Did you apply long ago? Have you visited your husband since getting married?

Hard not to think it’s because I am white and he is black.. we applied February 9 2023 and I went to see him at the end of march 2023 for 10 days, so two months after we got married. We haven’t seen each other since because we didn’t anticipate being in this position still waiting almost 8 months later
