Thank you!
But, I think things were held up because of an error and misunderstanding. Immigration has in the notes that we got married in 2008( that is when we met), that is not true we got married in 2011. I found this info in the notes that were ordered. The notes stated limited proof of relationship from 2008 up to our marriage and after. They wanted proof from 2008 going by their date. So what I have been doing is e-mailing Kingston like mad until they requested me to stop. LOL! But we did not save much in the beggining or our relationship when we first met aswe were just friends. Because we didn't know we were going to get married at that time.
When interview date comes up Maddants will have original copies to give them (plus they got a lot of the stuff I sent to them by e-mail to Kingston). Don't know why e-cas said decision made plus his scheduled interview date on it. But I know that now we are getting somewhere with this.

Lol....oh boy.....so many things to correct for them. Good for you!!!! It's true, we do not always know right away that person is going to become our spouse. My husband and I met and communicated for a few years before we knew we were going to get married. We didn't even have a camera until 3 years into our relationship. The other irony is, if you get married too quickly CIC is suspicious of that too. Just glad to hear your file is "on fire" now!!

Thanks, I made my MP call them every so often to get a movement on my file, and every time my MP called them the next couple of days I heard something from immigration.

So glad to hear your positive news @samll1 . Especially after the ups and downs we all go through, it is important to know that perseverance and eyes on God pay off. I also sent you a PM about one of your previous posts that helped me when I read it. So even when we are not getting immediate feedback, things are always moving behind the scenes. We can encourage each other and stand in the gap - whether we know it or not. Blessings to you and your hubby.

Congrats Mr and Mrs, well done and good news that you've swamped them with info, also that Mr needs to bring his PP. Smart to keep your cards close to your chest, many family members have gone through hell by flase info getting to the VO. When we were going through this a few years ago a forum members mother put in some false notes as she was afraid that support would stop once the son got through so you never know.
Congrats to samll1 as well, landing stories will soon abound

Maddants letter was sent by e-mail and it outlines what is needed for his interview. First item is to bring in his passport, second is his original birth certificate, 3rd is our original marriage certificate. and last item is supporting documents of relationship. Letter also said to not send documents and other stuff and that what we have still has to be brought in on that date only. Letter is a a scanned copy with bar code at the top of it and the bottom part has his interview date and time on it in bold letters. It also asks for him to bring this copy of this bar-coded letter to his interview. A little while ago, I got a letter from Kingston asking me to stop sending Western Union papers and other documentation. I have been sending them everything that I could. Letter also said that if they need anything else, the will get in contact with me. and things may not get included if continued sent by e-mail. So whatever else I have to send he has to bring with him to the interview on that date only. So i am still going to send western union, phone bills, pictures, etc. but will send directly to Maddants.

Hello Mrs. M, if you already have sent all of this in with the original application, and followed up with supporting info. then why do you think they are asking you to bring it to the interview? Are they referring to the materials you kept e-mailing? I am curious as I keep track of most of the documents for both me and my husband (he is not a paperwork person ) so if he gets an interview I will need to do another big package here and send it to Trinidad.......... Would probably be cheaper for me to fly with it than send it by international courier!!!

Yup..I totally agree...courier is sooo expensive, To send a letter to my husband wich consisted of 3 sheets of paper was 55.00 CAD...take a trip instead!!!...lol

 

[chickie72]

I have a question, so does my hubby have a DHL office and purchase the airway bill, or can i purchase it online and let him pick it up

I truly have never heard of anyone doing that before but I can't see why not? Sorry I am not much help but like I said, havent known anyone that has done it before to tell you the results lol

Yes i have sent in a bunch of stuff with the original package, everything that was required including wedding pictures. But when I ordered notes from CIC over a year later, it indicated in the notes why they needed proof of ongoing communication after our marriage (also before our marriage because the notes indicated they were lacking). When i requested the notes I got the whole copy of file sent back to me with their notes/comments written on it. So stuff I sent them where plane ticket stubs e-mails from Maddants, messenger messages, pictures of me and him with family, phone bills with calls to him highlighted and what ever I could think of to show our on going relationship. E-mail from Kingston stated they wanted Maddants to take originals of documentation (it said that in his letter requesting interview), regardless of the ones I scanned and e-mailed to Kingston( but i see they were added to our file in the notes). Things i still need to send from top up to his phone so he could call me and any other phone cards I have. The question must of came about in regards to how we met. We met on-line. It is a different situation from a lot of others and and it is proof of genuine relationship they want. When i was last out in Jamaica, I took documentation with me there to give Maddants. Anything remaining (including pictures from my last trip to Jamaica, i will mail snail mail which takes 2 weeks to get to him, but it is cheaper. Reason for interview was indicted on the notes and was based on this. I am with you on keeping paper-work, it is valuable in the long run. Just that our case is different and I hope no one has to go through what we had to.

Thank you so much Mrs. M. for the detailed reply. I appreciate it as I'm sure others do, it all adds to our knowledge bank. From everything I have read it seems to be a pretty challenging process for the majority of people going through the POS & Kingston offices. Although so many relationships start online now, I see a lot of it on the other threads also - I would think that CIC would be used to that part of it. Global Economy = Global Love

I have been with my husband for 6 years now and we met in person so in our application I submitted e-mails, Skype chat logs and Skype call durations over the 6 year period. I did not do all of them, I did a selection of every year (Jan. - Dec.) otherwise our package would have been over 1000 pages! I also sent all of my boarding passes, receipts from trips, passport stamps from trips, wedding photos etc. The one thing I did not include but explained it in the cover letter, was phone bills as we both use calling cards and I was told they do not accept the actual cards. The problem is that with each calling card, the company selling the cards routes the calls via different numbers all the time and CIC would not necessarily be able to match the routing numbers to the spouse's phone. That's what I have understood. If anyone else can shed some light on this, please feel free to chime in. Praying for all of us to have smoother sailing ahead and continued progress from the Caribbean offices. Blessings.
