when you have years of emails , whatsapp chat history , joint properties owned together , insurance policies, copies of stocks and bonds we have together , my phone records of text messages , phone bills , western union slips (that I also had scanned on pieces of paper, support letters from family and friends, relationship stuff to document from when my husband was in canada for 6 months twice on a work program ; a 7 year relationship and over 35 trips combined for the both of us ... 900 pages really wasn't that much ... That was everything That we included it wasn't 900 pages of proof of our relationship we had a lot of other things to include ... And 4 months wow that is really fast but still I'm alright with the wait I had and I'm happy I sent what I did ... We didn't have any requests for additional information and my husbands police check expires August 16/15 and he wasn't required to submit another one ... Again I have said it over and over again every application is different and I personally know others who have summited more than myself and some that have summited much less and get through.. I felt if I didn't include everything I did and immigration were to find out about some of it then it could have had a negative impact on the decision of our application .. Everyone has to remember that it's not immigrations responsible to prove our relationships are genuine it's our responsibility to do that and had I included 900 pages of things that were irrevelant or even kept discussing the same information over and over then yea it would of effected me negatively but that wasn't the case at all ... To all the women that get through in just 4 months that's great I wish that was my case because the extra 2 months I waited literally felt like two years lol.... @ MRS CAMPBELL like I said before everyone's application is different and I was just letting you know the way I did it in case any of the information could have been useful or you may have possibly seen something I included that you hadn't yet that could have added some more onto your application since you expressed concern that your application wasn't big ... And just because it is not a big it does not in any way mean your application would be refused because there are obvious reasons why ones application would consist of more than another persons and there is no right amount of stuff to include none of us know exactly what they are looking for and we can all just speculate all day what's right to include and what's not , and what they look for to determine a genuine relationship .because really how can one seriously determine whether or not a relationship is genuine by just reviewing a sponsorship application,it's not easy and that's why it's our job to prove to them our relationship is genuine and usually married couples typically do have strong ties together .. All of us have different marriages and we all contact each other differently and have different things to document and report to immigration .. For me I had no choice but to send in our whole whatsapp history which I didn't delete in years and we exchanged photos a lot on there which were also included so that added significantly to the size of our application ... For those of you who use that app to
Communicate you would know the option at the top to email the chat history doesn't allow you to select and choose what to email , it emails the whole conversation and I would of thought if I had pages missing it could have possibly raised suspicion therefore I included it all ....I'm just sharing my experience and it seems some people seem to think that when I inform others of my experience I'm trying to intimidate anyone or scare them because I provided so much when In fact that's not the case at all ....And if I remember correctly someone said my application would be placed on "the back burner" because I provided to much and the very next day my husband received his passport request In the mail so this type of negativity and directly telling someone that and inflicting unnecessary stress is just flat out f**ed and i would never tell one they are right or wrong with what they include I always tell them what I personally would do or what I have done , it's up to them whether or not they follow my advise or use any of the information I say, because this is just my experience and everyone's experience is different and everyone's application is different .....so the one who seems to think they know it all Clearly doesn't.... You can search online all day and night and I'm sure your not going to find 1 case of someone who was rejected or had there sponsorships refused for providing to much supporting evidence to document a genuine relationship or even bad it placed on a back burner ... There isn't such thing as providing to much unless of course it's to much of false made up bull*censored word* then of course it's gonna raise alarms ... I simply kept it real and we had a lot to include , and while we waited 6 months for Kingston to process ours and there have been some People who had there processed in 4 months that applied around the same time as me there are also alot more people waiting to have there applications processed that applied a significant amount of time before I did .... Anyways good luck to all of you ... @ shory since your coming home tomorrow I'm sure soon after you reach your husband will get his PPR... That's always how things work and you weren't far behind me with processing so anytime now..just as your home and missing your husband your gonna get some news .... One Love and since this is a public forum please if any of you ladies don't want any advice from me or feel I'm not being helpful and I'm making your process seem more difficult then just ignore my posts .... Have a goodnight and Labour day is over so Kingston is back to work tomorrow hopefully that's good news for many of us

Paula, I appreciate the time you have taken to give me your experience. As you say, every file is different. So its up to me take what is applicable to me from everyone. And in my opinion, there is no right and wrong, how would we know this. I certainly will reserve myself from comparing my file to others - as I have done.

there are varying opinions, lets just respect all. and we can debate till the goats come home on what constitutes a good application, is it more or is it less. We are all in the same situation and emotions are running high..missing our loved ones and waiting to close the distance.\

I am interested hearing from other members. I think I am good right now. If I was able to produce how much we talk - daily for the 1,100 or so days. I have taken some screenshots not of every call in the past three yrs. I would be in the late hundreds pages as many of you know Digicell would not release his records, he is pre-pay plan and ..yes printed the history of top up online.

I had a restless sleep due to the heat. thankfully I have today off too.

just a friendly note.

be mindful when giving out advice. its irresponsible when blanket statements are given. If you are giving out stats, please cite your source. I just think its careless when one says 95% of the time they do this or 90% they don't. etc etc

In my line of work..providing advocacy to clients dealing with varying levels of social detriments. They come to me for assistance and I just could not give them information without a disclaimer or knowing unequivocally. Imagine me saying oh yes, you will get that apartment right away, you qualify, guaranteed. and after being homeless -the joy at the prospect of getting a home,and then being told by the housing agency, they do not qualify.


I do a lot of statisical work and I am going to take a look at the spreadsheet..I made a promise to my hubby that once our app gets in that I would not be coming to this forum like round the clock and get all sad and go mad too. I was telling him about this site and the invaluable feedback i am getting from you all

Sorry if you feel that we've provided you with invaluable feedback,
perhaps hiring a immigration consultant or lawyer may be for beneficial for you, best of luck! ;D

Hello everyone! Good morning!
Well, I was on my way to the airport yesterday and got to the roundabout at the top of the strip heading down the NMIA and I told hubby to turn around and go back home im not ready to leave yet
So, I am still here. And happy about it lol
Still do not have access to editing the spreadsheet to add the new info, but hopefully soon.
And I agree on the previous posts I was reading between Paula T and others, there is a lot of great information we can get from each other one here, but all applications are different, everyone has a different story so not all information will be the same for others, so we can share our knowledge but remember, it may not fit for everyones situation.
Paula, you have been helpful and thorough, but have the longest posts! lmao
I wish everyone a great day! Lets all hope we hear something soon!

Thank you!
My friend is flying down on the weekend to bring my son here since we will be staying longer, and Im hoping to hear something before I have to go back up. Hubby wants me to stay until whenever he gets PPR so we have to see how I can figure things out...

cute! driving to the airport is the hardest. And I envy that you can stay. Having said that, hope you do get the PPR, soon.

Yes, l leave a large piece of my heart. Soon it will be not just a dream but a reality.

hubby and I used to bicker as we drove to the airport, coping mechanism. But we would resolve before we arrived.

Im heartsick that I have not seen him in 12 months. but I can only do so much. priority 1 is getting the app in and then planning a sweet reunion.

 

[shortyp2000]

Thanks Ladies!
Yes, the drive to the airport is definitely hard, I hate it! Im keeping fingers crossed that we hear something so we can all go back together and stop the back n forth nonsense. It's getting quite expensive, and hard on the heart to miss hubby
I know I should be home in Canada taking care of things there too but if hubby can wait so long to see me, then certain things in Canada can wait for me to get back!
My sisters husband still hasnt been buried yet either, so Im glad that I can stay with her longer too. My brother in law was killed August 12th and they havent even done the autopsy yet, can you believe that!
