HEY GUYS! :)

i applied to sponsor my husband roughly 6 months ago; got "in process" 2 months ago on dec 29- now, just still waiting for DM :(
according to the pattern of recent cases, people are getting DMs after roughly 2 or 2.5 months at most.

I made this forum seperately so people that have recently sent in their apps (like less than a year or 6 months) can connect and update about what is coming their way & what additional documents or any response tha LVO sends.

feel free to post ur current situations to begin with so we can compare our cases and maybe help eachother out as we go thru this hard time together...
god bless y'all. :D

I've seen a few of your posts about getting despondent because some other October applicants are getting DM and you haven't. You have to realize that the majority (actually the only ones I've seen) get DM have been an Australian and American applicants. Ottawa and Sydney are two of the quicker visa offices so comparing your case to theirs, when you are going through a different visa office and might also not be visa exempt is just going to give you some unrealistic expectations.

My timeline is similar to yours and our visa office seems to be the same, too. But I'm not too sure about DM coming this month though. Most of the October applicants who got DM are Americans. I haven't heard anything from the VO since my file was transferred. I don't think I left out anything either. I'm expecting something by this summer hopefully :D

hmm thx for mentioning the australian/american thing. i wasnt aware of that!
i am hoping that the whole thing winds up by summer too but i meant if we get DM within a month or two, then PPR & COPR usually take another month or few weeks too. so it'l make up to be (oct to april-ish) 7 or so months plus PPR/COPR another 1-2 month = 9 or so months...which is the trend these days cause most apps are now taking just 9-11 months. exeptions are always there no doubt but we're looking at averages.

hey!!!! glad to have u here! waiting for the others too. how does a facebook group sound? i think we shud connect with october applicants that way...if some of u agree to it, i can create one so we can connect thru our cellphones at any time which is a bit easier than accessing the forum on our cells ;)

& woah our timelines sure match up quite a lot! ;D

let me know what u guys think about the facebook group! much more easier to chit chat and share info! :D

To be honest i think there should be a FB page for all outland. All the groups im on are mostly inland and the process is so different.

ur so right tho & the forum kinda gets confusing i have to memorize the threads i post in cause they get lost in the crowd & its annoying to find the ones u replied/posted in again :-[
so a facebook group or just a seperate thread is what we need. more down for the facebook cause i dont like using the forum on my phone cause its too hard to navigate...

hey can u share the links of some FB groups ur in just so we can have a look too? P.S. i hate public groups.

a group page is more to work to maintain; regular posting & updates etc; so perhaps just a simple group chat will do? what do u guys think? so we can text & chit chat, share pictures & documents...? also, god knows who remembers to come up on here unless u posted a serious concern or question...so facebook's like a more everyday everytime thing & instant too!

as of the inland vs outland, ur right PLUS, it also varies from country to country. the country-specific requirements, other documents etc :(

There is already a thread for October 2015 Outland applicants: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/october-2015-outland-spousal-applicants-t351653.0.html
