You are most welcome. A few questions back to you that generally let others help more clearly - Are you the sponsor or the applicant and which country does the applicant live in? POS processes for quite a few locations across the Caribbean.

 

[Sabriyah]

I am the sponsor. My husband is in Guyana.
Do u guys know if POS processes different countries differently...like maybe for those from Trinidad itself is faster or slower or r they more strict or less strict as compared to other countries? Am not saying Trinidad in particular, it was jus an ex country...I was thnking tht maybe some countries tht POS process mite b shorter wait than others?

Shd I be in contact with others who sponsored froI was jusm Guyana? For advice? U guys know anyone?

In my own opinion I do not think it matters at all; however, if I am incorrect one of the more senior members can chime in. If you have seen the spreadsheet for the POS office I do not think you can draw any solid conclusions from that other than it can be a bit "hit and miss" for all of us. I recall seeing some Guyanese folks on there and if you get their forum names you can search their history of posts.

Some people get AORs, some don't, some get interviews, some are waived, some process more quickly, some are slower. It really depends on so many factors. For example, the complexity of your case, children or not, removal orders or not, past marriages/divorces, etc. etc. By reading the experiences of people here as you are doing, you will see some patterns and trends and then again lots of random and arbitrary decisions/actions too.

Welcome Sabriyah. You came to the right place!

 

[fromadistance]

All the best on your interview millslu. You will do great

 

[Behopeful]

Good morning everyone!
I'm hoping someone gets some sort of news this week! Feels like forever since anyone got some news!
Good luck on the interview Millslu. You will do wonderful! I can't remember who posted the tips but everything I have read says the same thing. Dress well, be honest and confidence is key!
Check in when you have time and let us know how it goes. Have you decided if you will ask at the end of the interview if you were successful or not and if they will issue the ViSA? I think I read somewhere that POS doesn't often issue VISA's the same day but it can't hurt to ask. What are you thoughts Millslu?

Thanks again everyone for your support two more days to go. I yes @behopeful I am hoping after the interview with i get some. Kind of answer, but it's the least they can do, I have a mountain of support am going with almost 3inches thick and hopefully if we only get a word saying yes or no, that's all we need to hear and know. We know after that's it's another wait but at least my wife n I will know we're our future lies now n we can continue planning our future a little more secure. Again thanks to everyone, as soon as the interview is over you will hear from me.

hey there my friend you will do great.... i got word about my interview.... they schedule the date already for me..... but i have to wait until i get the letter in the mail..... cant wait to hear about your interview

 

[Maddants]

hey everyone hope yurll are doing well and being patient. my interview is in 9 days away and i am preparing myself very well indeed, nothing on the GSM notes so am goin there blindfolded but its my wife and i know her like the back of my hand.

quick question my wife is worried about if she should accompany me to my interview, my wife since she just spent a week with me, is not able to get any more vacation becasue of the pressure of her work and we also have our baby(puppy) who we would not like to be giving to strangers to watch for another week. is it imperitive that she comes or not. i read in one of the forum that the VO have to requst that she comes, if they dont then they wont need her. please give me yurll views on that plzz.

@ missd hang in there.

hey my friend.....did you say that you got your gcsm notes and it did not show anything on it about why they want to interview you

 

[MissDominica]

Do you guys know if paper clips are ok to use...like to keep different forms separate from each other?

Yes paper clips are fine, do not staple though. Make sure bar code pages are on top of the sections where applicable and the checklist on the very top of the entire package. The more clear and organized you make it for CIC, the the easier it is. You can also do a table of contents or use a binder and separate sections with tabs or those clear envelopes and write on them (these are suggestions only, not mandatory). Do try to arrange the forms in the way they are listed on the checklist though and cross reference all supplementary info./docs to the relevant section. Photos inside envelopes, not loose. Hope this helps .
