If anyone is having / had their application processed through the Moscow, Russia Office what has your experience been?

We are waiting for news on our process and hoping for the best. It would be nice to hear from some of you...

Thanks!

We went through Moscow in 2008. Applied in Sept and she was here Mar 1st, 2009. The wait was maddening of course. Thankfully she managed to visit on a Temp Visa during the wait. Good luck.

We applied for a TRV and were denied, they did not even check the reason(s) why in all the check boxes they denied it. Simply said they did not feel she would return to Russia. We included a lot of documentation showing she had reasons to return but denied. This really was bad news as when I go to spend time with my wife I have to take time off work and can only afford to go for 8-14 days. If she could come here she could stay a month easy and we could have much more quality time together. I included a great letter of inventation and did as much as I could to make it sucessful...

I just returned from spending time with her on the Black Sea and in Moscow on the 8th. (Was in Moscow when all the smoke was there from the forest fires) With each visit the time of being apart feels even harder.

I heard it is pretty common to be denied if your in the process of PR they say. Just still sucks :( I would love for her to meet her family here, and help me pick out things to make our home here more our home. We have done some over the net, but i want her to see the house and yard.

I emailed our local Federal PM, then called to make sure they got the email they said yes, but never a reply. I heard a letter from the PM will help, Now I guess I am just going to go camp out front of his office lol.

Good luck getting your TRV.

Honey, we have to be strong and patient.. I know it hurts and sometimes too much. But what can we do? just pray for us, just be strong, just love each other and wait for that happy moment, when we will be together forever and a day. :) Love you OCHEN! :)

ok. I see that Tallen and LadyHawk are couple! :) right?..

I'm very sorry for you, guys, beign denied for TRV :( I know that it is about 50% chance of getting it. We will still try. Who knows...

The most important thing is that you, guys, love each other! And we (my husband and I) love each other too. So all we need is to be patient...

Tallen, you can wait with the house stuff untill she comes! :) But it is interesting with internet-planning things too:)))
How did you like the Black Sea? I actually live by it (in Sochi) :)

Yes we are Married and Both Very Happy, and are trying to be patient as hard as it is.. Yes our TRV being denied was hard as I can not leave work for as long as shr could come and visit.

The Black Sea was my wife's idea and it was very very nice. We had good weather all the time we were there; it only rained for say 1hr in all the days we were there. Very hot each day, and we were at the beach / in the Sea each day (we could easily walk to the beach from where we were staying.) The train ride there form Moscow was long but we stopped a lot and were able to get snacks and such. On our return trip we went through woods that were on fire / smoldering and once back in Moscow the smoke was everywhere.

It would be nice if you could sign up and add your case to Trackit that way all of us going through the Moscow office could see what progress is being made.

trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class

Our case is listed as here "Tallen" on Trackit as well.

Hey Tallen (and my sweetheart of course),

I got your PM and signed up for tracker 'shawngt2', I will post info up once the application is sent next week! :) I'm happy to go through this with you but also even more happy because you are ahead of me and can give me an idea of processing times :) I think this application we've done is perfect, all little details, organized to hell, extra sheets, clean and tidy and hope this helps.

We'll both be with the love of our lives eventually :)

Shawn

My file is in Moscow since June 16, 2010. Still haven't heard from them, starting to get worried!
I was denied a TRV last year as well *sigh*

By the way, nice to meet you, guys! ;)

Well "shawngt2" if you see anyone also processing threw Moscow around our time send them the same PM it's pretty generic and I have only sent it to you and one other that was around our processing time that I found so far.

If your on this thread here is the PM I sent, and sign up to TrackIt :)



Subj: We Are Also Going Though Moscow :)

Hi There,

My Wife and I are also being processed though Moscow, It would be nice if you could sign up and add your case to Trackit that way all of us going through the Moscow office could see what progress is being made.

trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class

We are listed as "Tallen" on Trackit.



As usual all cases are different but movement of any sort will give us all more hope. It is so hard this wait but as they say anything that comes easy is not valued as much as something that came of great work and wait. This time apart is very hard but things happen for a reason and during this time we have talked and shared so much, I can't think of anyone I have truly meaningfuly communicated with in my life.

Marriage in the same country is so easy, and that is why so many fail.. Here we have no choice but to spend at least 1-2 months getting all the paperwork for marriage... All the stress, excitement, and hope.. only to then be separated again for months. This whole process only confirms my belief that we are meant to be together forever (and a day) and that LadyHawk is my True Love. Lol was just thinking of the song with the words “she's amazing.” I'm sure I don't need to give the title lol.

God Speed To All of our Applications.

Hey guys. I still check in here from time to time just to see if I can help in anyway. I know I am past it all now but I remember what it felt like being stuck in the process and having to deal with the wait and paperwork. You guys are just in the wait part now so not much else to do but say good luck and hope to see you past this soon.

ah "Tatiana" is the wife of "shawngt2" good to see more couples on here and if you are waiting in Moscow everywhere is close by Metro (as you know) maybe we can think of a meet up in the future, not me but all our wife's in Moscow.. The saying misery loves company... not what I would think but think maybe all our wives in Moscow could provide support, hope and caring while we all wait.

I think this would be a great Idea.

I will ask "LadyHawk" my beautiful wife on the forums and see what she thinks :)

a short sory of our love is in another post;
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/making-marriage-work-t51559.0.html;msg402820#msg402820

Things happen for a reason and I had talked to my love for over a year as a friend at fiirst.. Then fell head over hells for her in love... Then I watched a Epp Of Cupid, and for me it this one phrase hit so home for me..

"Love you can find anywhere, but True Love you would cross oceans for" ~ Cupid

She is my Merical and each day we share is a gift from God.

Tallen, your post about your story is so touching! Looks like you've got a lot of stress getting things done, but your Love woths it all! Shawn wrote our story in another topic here somewhere...

"Love you can find anywhere, but True Love you would cross oceans for" ~ Cupid - This phrase is absolutly true!

All of us should thank Skype for sure :) It makes us possible to see our partners!

I would love to meet Maria, but I live in Sochi (Black Sea coast). Actually we can communicate by phone or social networks...

Frolic, thanks a lot for visiting us here and wishing us luck!

Shawn got UPS from me with all the documents yesterday. He is waiting for some more papers from bank and then we are finally ready to go!

meairplane! Congratulations!!! That's huge! Did you spend time away from your significant other? Did you get a temp visa to visit? That's huge news and so good to hear. Can you tell a little details about your application, how you organized it? What you included? We just sent our application to Mississauga on the 9th and so excited to have the ball rolling now :D
