Hi canadianwifey, as a next person from the forum said, its not the quantity of the pictures or application but its the quality!!! A person can have 50 photos and application big as a house and you got only 2 photos and package small and you approved and that person decline! So from once you follow the guide lines and have enough proof your good. If they need more proof it can be shown in an interview or they request it..CanadianWifey89 said:I saw that and my heart sunk..mine was able to fit in a 11 x 14 envelope...definitely not that thick so I was worried for a little LOL but I think I included enough. We shall see
Other than the required forms / police certificate / medical check / immigration pictures etc.
I have bundles of pictures but provided maybe 30-40? around 10 wedding photos (ceremony, reception, and portrait), 2-3honeymoon photos, 2-3 pics of my bridal shower and the rest were us on dates..hanging around in JA..going to church (cause everyone knows before you go to church you have to take a picture) etc. Otherwise, I included photocopies of well wishes card from my bridal shower and the wedding, the narrative of our development of our relationship, photocopies of my passport showing the trips/ copies of the itinerates, honeymoon confirmation email, copies of receipts (western union, digicel top-up), photocopies of our letters to each other during our relationship, proof of phone records. Ummm what else was in there? LOL! I'll have to check my copies when I go home..didn't end up being 4inches...maybe 2? LOL mostly because of the clips I used to hold sections together.
Very good point! This process definitely isn't black and white..alot of gray areas and super subjective but at the end of the day...if they need more to make 'em sleep at night they will definitely request it.lovindahubby said:
No problem... Just shedding some light.. I use to worry when I see how much pictures and how thick a person application use to be and my mom said. " Don't look on others, look at yours! Everyone application is different,some can get through way earlier than others, so worry not".. So I dnt worry nomore...CanadianWifey89 said:
Amazing!! I know someone who applied in February 2013 and his spouse was here by August 2013 also. There are definitely both ends of the spectrum on this journey. Prayers up for the best and sending even more prayers for a lot of patience if we have to endure the worst.lovindahubby said:
Yes twoheartsonelove... That's why when I see these post like chickie and nev I was wondering why theirs so long. And my mom help me with mines after his application was sent in.. With his application I keep saying mines going to be done in 6 months too... Lol I don't know but I have high hopes... I've seen a lot of application filed within 6 months. A next friend of mine application was done within 6 months in 2012... So if I'm wrong to have hopes that it will be within a year oh well, let me be...lol I'm just talking to myself..Twoheartsonelove said:
