Interview........
To be scheduled
My husband and I are still waiting g the LONG waiting game. I am sponsoring my husband from Colombia. We have a very complicated case. We started the application in September 2014, I was approved as a sponsor in December 2014 and that's when Bogota received part 2 of the application. In July 2015 we were contacted for an interview and brought more pics etc. September 2015 we were asked for medical reports for my husband and my step daighter, police record check, finger prints, he had to aquire his army card and authorization to return to Canada due to his previous removal order and repayment of all removal costs. It was hard to get this ALL done within 30 days and with such a hefty amount of money around almost 5k. But we did it! We were told the finger prints take 22 weeks. Which was over in February. We are now patiently waiting for an answer any day now. We are on 19 months. We are an unusual case. But I just want everyone to know sometimes things don't work out as planned and you may feel like giving up hope along the way. But it will all be worth it in the end. I'm hoping to united with my husband in the next few months. We usually try to see each other ever 6 months but right now I haven't seen him since June 2015 because we haven't had the funds. That has been even more difficult but time will come soon. We have been apart since December 2013 other than short visits but we get closer everyday.

You are so brave. My case has reached 6 months and I already feel hopeless seeing other people get DM from september 2015 when we applied.

You are 1 step closer. Hopefully your case reaches a decision soon.

My husband was a refugee in Ca nada for over 3 years. He was issued a removal order because the refugeeclaim was denied and had to leave after we were married. Our situation really isn't THAT uncommon but it's not the basic application definitely not. My husband had to do finger prints and have them sent to the RCMP which takes 22 weeks to process.. My husband still doesn't have his army card but a letter from the army that they were processing the card and all fees were paid was sufficient enough for the application.

We are on the last stretch Like I said. Nothing else for us to do but wait their final decision!

Hi Shy93, I lived in Canada before and also had to get my RCMP prints done. I did mine upfront but only took about 1-2 weeks to be processed. Did your husband have any criminal record? Surprised his took so long to come back... It has been a long ride for you but I truly hope its over soon and you and your spouse are reunited soon :)

We were never told we had to do this tull late and no he has no criminal record. Visa office in Bogota said it took 22 weeks to process. Idk our path has been so long it's just about patience.

Sometimes we don't know how strong we are. Until being strong is our only option.

You've come such a long way.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum, husband (sponsor) is living in Canada I'm living in Colombia, we sent our outland application to Mississauga on Feb 17th, received AOR on March 18th and SA on March 22nd. Our application was sent to Bogota VO, but I don't know if it got sent to it already or if they received it. Do they inform you? I was also wondering how much time would I have to wait for AOR2? Hope all your process speed up, it seems as they are speeding all cases.
