Proof of Genuine Relationship

Sorry if I'm posting too much today. I have another question.

As I mentioned, my husband and I have been together for ten years. We've been through a lot of bumps, but we're devoted to each other. As I gather all of my evidence (emails, letters, pictures, some western union money transfer receipts, and maybe a few letters from my family and friends who have see us throughout our relationship), I can't help but wonder if one little thing in my past could ruin the application.

No, I don't have a record!

My husband and I went through a rough time, and it ended up with me putting the relationship on hold and dating someone else for about a year and a half. I even ended up marrying the other person, however, that went south in a very fast amount of time. When it did, and I left my ex-husband, my current husband offered me a place to stay in Canada. It was during that time we reconciled our relationship, and even made plans to marry in my home town of Chicago later on that year. After having to leave Canada because my visitor's visa was up, I went back to Chicago, and I got an uncontested divorce from my ex-husband.

I have my divorce decree, and I know I need to send that to with my application. A part of me thinks that this will show that like other relationships, we've had our ups and downs, be we are truly devoted to each other. However, a part of me is afraid that this will negatively affect the application. I am very much willing to explain this, and I even plan to write a letter telling the story of our relationship (more like essay). I'd just like to know if this my be a sticky point to an otherwise genuine and loving relationship.

Thanks for your help.

I doubt that will be a major problem. I too had something alike with being married to someone else while i was with my previous ex..don't worry. As i, you too should be able to get approved as a sponsor. With my previous husband, not my daughter's father i sponsored him to live here in Canada..and while it was in the process reunited with my daughters father and divorced my ex and cancelled any undertakig..that happened about three years ago..and now i married my current husband just last Nov 07 and have my daughter from previous relationship..i was approved now just waiting for my current husband to get his visa to come to Canada. As long as you can demonstrate that your love with your current husband is sincere i don't see a problem..so far i have my fingers crossed and hope for a positive outcome with Jamal now.

I know it sounds complicated, and trust me it is since i am still undergoing a decision from the court system in terms of my daughters custody and in the mist awaiting for Jamal's visa approval but i am a very positive person and know that God is by my side and is always looking out for the best in my life.
Good luck to you and just make sure to keep all necessary proof of your relationship over the years..

As long as you have all the required documentation (eg: divorce certificate) to substantiate your story, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just explain, in detail, the whole truth. Honesty is the best policy when it comes to these applications.
