Yes my interview is scheduled for after one full year.
Our's is first marriage (love marriage). We met through matrimonial website, liked each other. I am from india and my spouse is canadian citizen. Later my family contacted my uncle in canada and he met my spouse and his family. Everything went pretty fine until my spouse's family realized that i from different cast (same religion but different cast). They started delaying our marriage. so after trying to convince them for 7 months we decided to get married without involving my spouse's family. So it was my family who attended the wedding. My spouse stayed in india for abt 2 months and 10 days after marriage.
Now we are glad that at last we heard something from NDVO. Lets just hope for the best. I have full faith in god.

Hi H4B,

my timeline is to the left. did they ask for your pp yet ? if not, don't worry...they will just keep it with them for no apparent reason. there are ppl on this forum whose pp is with them for 4 months...not doing any good..

so be glad that you still have ur beloved pp with you(if u do).
once they do all the background checks n stuff they will inform you...

Hi Rupesh,

you need to include all sorts of documents. More the better. leave no stone unturned. all your chat logs, pics, gift receipts, plane tickets, marriage certi, phone bills....u name it.....your job is to show the legitimacy of the your marriage as much as you can....
 
hey friends ..congratulations to all who got DMS and passport back...
i spent almost two months in India thinking that passport for wife would be here any day ...how much longer could NDVO take ? ...but they have defied all logic..
Officially now 101 days since we sent passport...
How do they expect people to live without the passport...People have life/business and responsibilities to take care of....They have actually put life on hold for all...and the funny part to all this is that I (we all also) know that it is in vain...they will take their own sweet time
 
Alright... so my spouse had sent an case specific enquiry through the website in early November 2012. A reply came this morning saying that the file is still pending initial review.

The passport is with them for over 2 months now. From what I can see on the forum, some passports have been away for more than 3 months. Is this even legal? I seriously want to find out and try to get the attention of some proper authorities. This is beyond not acceptable!

Congrats to all those who got their Visas and passports and DMs etc.

But I am with Chitraajay here. This is not a very fair system. If they decided to make sponsorship time lesser, then some consideration should be given to people who wasted 3-4 months waiting.

I am in this forum since the time I applied. Then the sponsorship timing was 90-120 days. However, the time taken later was not bad. After sponsorship people usually got visas in say 2-3 months. For people like me, rahulCD, APScorpion, thinkpad, parthpatel and so many others, sponsorship time was three months, we lost almost a month or 2 over there. To add to the harassment, instead of granting sponsorship sequentially, they started june before may. So we were all left farther behind

When our sponsorship was done, we expected out files to be done in another two months.
But then began the the nightmare we did not even imagine. All those who went 'In process' in September, we just stuck there, For what now is clear as quota reasons.

Our MP did bring in a good news. Frankly I do not know how much to trust him, but I do. Its the only way to keep me happy. Not only for myself but so many others who have been stuck since ages. Because it means all our files are cleared. I will be happy when I get my DM, no doubt. But I will still be disappointed with the process. Its a despicable process. Its not going to make me think about the country 'Canada' like I would have, if the embassy was fair with people like me.


Mumble, I finally decided to log onto this site and read what is happening with everyone. The past couple of weeks I didn't want to even come to this site, because I didn't even want to think of this visa process and the trauma and headache it is causing all of us.
I'm beginning to get more and more angry with this system. No wonder people opt to get in to the country illegally !
They just give the legitimate people like us such a hard time .... and Mumble, this is not going to be the 1st time you are going to bang your head against a wall when dealing with stuff in Canada :).
I don't understand how holding on to a non criminal person's passport for 4 months, for an undefined period, with NO details disclosed as to WHAT they are doing with the passport for such a long time, in a Democracy is even legal! And at the end of the day, after depriving the individual of his freedom rights, there is NO guarantee of even getting a Visa.
Try doing this with a Canadian's or American's passport !!
At the end of the day, they treat us like criminals until they decide for some reason we are not.
I'm not even sure if all this is even worth it anymore ....
