Hi! Im a Canadian sponsoring my wife from China. I visited her last month to marry her but did not have a wedding ceremony. Would that make my application an immediate refusal? The reason why we didn't have a wedding was because she doesn't have many close family members living in China. The ones that do live hours away in poor villages and towns. She and her parents and sister are basically "alone". As for me, almost all of my family and friends in Canada couldn't come to a wedding in China. They had jobs, school, university and other commitments. My wife and I don't want a lackluster wedding with only a dozen attendees so we plan to have a big one when she arrives in Canada. I really hope that this doesn't bite me in the a** later on. I did, however write a half-page explanation, explaining the reason in detail and also explaining that we both are going to have one in the future.
My other major concern is the lack of phone records. My wife and I have talked on the phone several times a week since May 2009, our first contact. But since long distance calls are expensive, we use phone cards instead. Should I photocopy my recent cards or just get the telephone bill with the phone card numbers on it? Or should I just write another note with an explanation?
As for other documents, Ive got everything pretty much done
Any help would be awesome. I really need some answers asap. Cheers!
