My experience getting TRV approved for my Fiance

[sweetkrish]

Hi Guys,

This isn't working anymore i guess, i submitted the same reason and all the documents as mentioned in the post, the visa officer didn't even bother to check the application, as soon as he sees the reason is to meet fiance, Inspite of she having travel history, he blindly rejected with a standard template mentioning lack of travel history, family ties in canada and hometown, personal assests.

Please don't waste time and money applying for visitor visa anymore, they are not approving.

Good day to all.

My Partner and I are planning to get marry (same sex) in Canada thats why i have to apply for a trv.

My partner is PR now but he dont have enough funds to show for me to sponsor. We're thinking ask for a help from our friend, He's living the same area in Canada with my partner. He has funds and business and willing to give me invitation letter and provide necessary documents to sponsor me.

I have some few questions on how to get approve my TRV and need some suggestions on how to improve my trv application:

1. could he mention in the invitation letter stating that i would be staying in his house and would shoulder my other expenses? And We're planning also go to other places like Niagara Falls, CN tower etc during my 10 days visit.

2. Im currently working here in Qatar ( 1 year and counting), receiving 1,850cad salary monthly, have a valid Qatar Residence ID and will expires on june 2020.

3. I have 11,000 cad in my bank account here (consistently depositing money monthly), i have credit card also.

4. I have Qatar (expired working visa and stamps) and Oman (i stayed 4days for tourism) on my passport and serves as my travel history.

5. I have Certificate of Employment (stating my joined date, salary,position) , approve leave application, No Objection Certificate from my company.

6. i have booked airplane ticket (going and return) and travel insurance as well.


--> Would it be enough? Or do i need to work on some items?
---> how to improve my home ties?


Big Thanks for your help.

Hey guys, thought this post may help some of you so i would just like to share my journey to getting my TRV approved for my Fiance. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

My background:
- Indian Citizen.
- PR in Canada.
- Work as an IT consultant (IT Contractor).

My Fiance's Background
- Indian Citizen.
- Working in UK on deputation (Visa valid till 13 March, 2016).

We did a lot of research and put in a lot of effort and time to review and make sure that we give as much information as we can, i am just summarizing the documents we submitted below:
1) Invitation Letter from me (Indication when and where we are getting marriage and explaining the background in detail)
2) Cover Letter from her (confirming the reason for the application).
3) Bank Statement for me (Since i was the one sponsoring her trip).
4) Bank Statement from her Indian and UK accounts (Proof of funds with her).
5) My Business Incorporation documents (to prove i work).
6) My Business's bank account (proof of funds).
7) Her Passport.
8) My Passport photo copies.
9) Her UK visa.
10) MY PR card copy.
11) Her deputation letter and company's letter indicating there is no reason she won't come back for work after her trip.
12) Her boss's approval (indicating that she will return.)
13) Ticket booked from Jan 17- Jan 31st, 2016 for her visit to Canada (refundable in case she doesn't get the Visa)
14) Medical insurance for her trip here(a must).
15) Our marriage Venue booking (to prove that we are getting married in India).
16) Application form, checklist, family information forms.
17) Her and my parent's passport copies (since she didn't have property in India).
18) Her IT returns for last 3 years (proof that she is not doing tax evasion of any sort).
19) Her paystubs for past 6 months (to show steady salary income).
20) Her Rental Lease in UK (proof of residence in UK)
21) My rental lease in Canada (since she will live with me during my visit).
22) Our trip to India in November for a pre wedding ceremony (to prove she is my Fiance).
23) Photos with families for the ceremony (proof that we are getting married).
24) Snippets of our whatsapp chat and call history.

Other information:
1) She submitted the application in person and not online, because we wanted to submit all the supporting documents as well and i believe no one wants to open all the PDFs to look at on a computer. With in person application it is very easy to just look and confirm that all the documents are there (doubt they read all the documents though) plus the VFS officer will let you know in case you miss anything.
2) I didn't want to lie on the application to avoid problems down the line when her PR application is in progress.
3) Processing time was 1 day.
4) Her visa is multiple entry valid till 2020 (her passport expires in 2020).
5) Your Visa office may say that they don't need that many documents but we had to insist and they took it.

Hi there, I know you posted quite some time ago but do you happen to have a copy of YOUR invitation letter? It would be really appreciated as I am in the same situation right now.
