Today after 12 months and 22 draws we recieved out ITA. It only took me (the spouse) taking a $300 english test... We're greatfull none the less. We're already CAD residents.
My wife is a USA citizen. We'll need to get the fbi check. she will send off the fingerprints tomorrow morning. However unless the FBI are under promising, we will not make the 60 day limit.
After some reading here, I assume the protocol is as follows:
1) wait for 59 days, get EVERYTHING else ready to transmit.
2) If there's no FBI check arrived on day 59 upload a letter in it's place explaining that it has not arrived and provide proof of when you sent the request.
3) Transmit.
4) Hopefully we will recieve an extension by the agent who assesses the case...
Here's a few questions. Hopefully there's some people here who can provide some previous experience.
* do we have to send the physical copies of the certificates in if an extension is granted, or will we need to upload.
* Is there any precedent for submitting your case earlier explaining that the wait time from the FBI file is (x) weeks? What has CIC recommended we do?
I';m sure I'll have more questions. I'm excited to get this show on the road!
Thanks in advance...
