HI, Hope everyone is doing well tonight. I have some questions about my application,

I applied for my husband back in July 2015. I received confirmation of processing August 6th, 2015. I then received confirmation Sept 9th, 2015 that the PR application was started. Oct 13th, 2015 was the last update I received stating Medical results were received. I called in Dec 2015 I was told I was approved to sponsor back in Sept, but I didn't receive that email/letter. I was told in January 2016 the application was in Jamaica.

How do I find out the status of his application in Jamaica, How long does it usually take? I really miss my husband our anniversary is coming in April and we are not sure if I should go or if we should wait to hear from the embassy.

any feedback would be appreciated... Thanks soo much

If you have the application number you can check online or order your gcms notes, since they only started processing you may not hear back my April only time will tell, if you could afford to go down and can get the time away from work then go, if you can't don't beat yourself up too much, it's only the first and you still have the rest of your life ahead of you to celebrate the 2nd, 3rd and on and on lol

Did to ever receive your SA letter? They have a time frame i received mine threw email not regular mail. The reason i say if you can make you first anniversary is good because i wouldnt take a chance to leave any doubt in these VO minds. If you cant afford the trip then thats something different and out of your control.

I don't think that's true at all. If you have regular proof of communication and go as often as you can that's what counts. I've been with my husband for 7 years. I've missed some of our anniversarys of when we started dating. I used to travel down 6 times a year, but I can't always get the vacation days I want and I go when I find a good seat sale. Since being married and purchasing a house (and in there filing immigration, I have gone significantly less.. Also I missed our first year wedding anniversary as I was there in March and my next trip was July (anniversary in May). Doesn't mean I didn't want to be there, of course I did. And since then my husband has been approved and will be arriving here in March.

Don't worry yourself, if you can go great. If you can't go it won't be held against you. just love your husband and have proof of your constant contact.

Missing your anniversary shouldnt be a red flag in immigrations eyes. My husband and I werent able to spend our first anniversary together. Since our relationship started in 2012 we've had 5 visits in total. Like Sara said supplying enough proof of continuing communication is vital. Communicating while being apart is what matters to them.

Ms.Waiting you can email Kingston and ask what stage is his application at. I applied in March and I didn't email Kingston till about October but they really didn't give me much information all that his application was in intial review, emailed them December lol same thing intial review,they honestly don't tell you much at all. Just be patient and I would go spend time with your hubby for your first anniversary if you can :) If Kingston keeps this trend of sending ppr in 10-11 months you'll probably hear something May or June, but Kingston is full of surprises could be less. Who knows

I would hope it wouldnt be a red flag but then again i feel it all depends on the VO handling your file. We can get reasonable ones then we could get idiots who may feel 1st anniversary should be a special day spent together. I agree with you mixedchick communication proof would be the most important to me if i was an Vo because not everyone can travel regular let face it Ja is not cheap by all means. So lets pray who ever opens our file thinks the same way.if you can afford to go or get time to go its special to spend it together. I been fortunate to spend my 2 with hubby thanks to a great boss who understands this process is not easy.

thanks for your response, SA= Sponsorship approval? I didn't receive it. When I called. They said they I was approved to sponsor and they sent it to me but I did not receive it at all. I have requested a copy to be sent to me three times and still nothing. I am torn because I am starting a new job March 1st. So it is not particularly easy to request time off so soon after starting.

Is it possible they may have sent it by email, it went your junk and that's why you haven't gotten it?

That is understandable new job wont allow time off right away dont worry your head over it all will work out.Ask them to send your letter by email thats how i got mine and i printed a copie

Good thought. My husband's passport request was sent to his junk mail. I had to tell to check his junk mail because sometimes what CIC sends for correspondence goes to junk mail. If I never told him that we would never known he had ppr. LOL check tthe junk mail
