Hello all!
I'm a Canadian born Citizen currently filling out the paperwork to sponsor my American spouse for PR. We have been together for over 4 years and married for 1 year. We met online on a Video Game playing Call of duty in Dec 2015 and starting dating shortly after. We finally met in person April 2018. I have visited him multiple times in the US and stayed with him for a over 9 months combined now. We are so sick of being apart so we just recently decided to move to Canada and apply for Outland spousal sponsorship asap.
I'm going to list the things below, that I'm concerned about:
1. We both don't have leases, vehicles or credit cards to put each other on for joint ownership. My husband was going to put me on his works healthcare but it would make it a lot more expensive thus significantly reducing our ability to save money.
2. We are not fans of taking pictures or using social media people so we don't have many of pictures throughout our relationship or together with family. However, both of our family's know of our relationship and all approve of it.
3. Were very smart with money and don't care to go to fancy dinners and dates for birthdays and holidays we've spent together so we can spend the money on more important things to improve quality of life. We decided to spend money on a new TV and bed cause his were old as hes living with his low-income family and has to buy everything himself.
4.It was a mutual decision to get married shortly before I had to return back to Canada. We were married by my spouses great-uncle at his house with my spouses mother, her bf and a few of her kids there. We didn't have a reception or honeymoon because we both wanted it small and casual. I wore a black dress and he wanted to wear his Levi jeans and a collared shirt.. we have considered renewing our vows in the future and having something more formal. We got out rings at a pawn shop and don't have the receipt.
5. Did anyone else struggle in writing the cover letter timeline of your relationship? How do you describe your love for someone in one paragraph... This is a lot more difficult then I expected!
Will any of these things look bad to CIS? If so, is there any suggestions on what we could do.
I'm stressed out that we could get rejected cause we are lacking some things they require for proof of a bona fide marriage.
I apologize if this is improperly written or too long. I'm overwhelmed from trying to research this information and we have considered an immigration lawyer but hoping to not have to resort to that.
Thanks for hearing me out
