i am canadian my wife is honduran .married last year together for 3 yr. applied in guatemala for visitor visa as the yr before they told us what we needed .we went back and applied after we got married for visitor visa. of corse they denied it saying they did not believe she would leave the country.i just wanted her to see if she even liked canada. to top it off we were assaulted in guatemala the guy held a knif to her neck and took everything. now we have to go threw the permanent visa application and this denied visa looks bad. we were planning to go to mexico once she had the visitors visa but since it was denied we didnt go now mexico says she can not apply for a new mexican visa for 10 years because she abused it by not using it....grrr another story anyway endless problems. i guess the medical and police reports are in tegucigalpa another dangerous city i dont want her to go too.. i sent her forms to fill but we dont know if she has to send them from honduras directly to immigration in canada or guatemala or if i should receive them and send them with my application to sponsor.i have a check list and it sounds like it all has to go at the same time or it will be denied .also must her forms be in her native language then pay to translate or can she write in english .her english isnt very good but i can help her online and so could her friends that speak english well. maany questions i dont even know where to start but this is the beginning i guess.thanks for any help i can get.cant afford a lawyer as plane tic etc eating up my money faster than i can make it.if i didnt live with her half the year id have lots of money and could afford but we choose to spend as much time together as possible.i think ive spent at least 30 000 for visiting her and living in honduras and had no clue we would be in this position now so i have virtually no receipts for anything and of corse immigration wants every receipt. we only communicate threw face book chat and video.they want proof? i cant go back on messages they get erased unless facebook has a record which would be surprising and a pain to retrieve i would think. so many negatives against us we sometimes think better for me to just work ,make big money here and live there and spend it all jajaja.
