Hi,
I’m trying to sponsor my husband. We met 1.5 years ago at a volunteer trip and instantly fell in love and starting dating but we live apart so we did long distance for a year and I finally visited him. While visiting, we got married as it would be hard for me to make a trip there again due to work and money. So now that it’s been about 4-5 months we’ve been married, I want to sponsor him since we want to be together ASAP.
But I have few questions that I was hoping I can get answers to rather than hiring a lawyer:
1. We got married abroad, without my family (since they’re religious and are not in complete agreement). What’s a good reason for their absence that doesn’t make it look suspicious?
2. I’m a graduate student, getting paid as a teaching assistant and for research. Does that make me financially stable to support my husband? (Since that’s how I’m planning to support him).
3. Does my family need to be involved in my application? (I do not want them to know about our relationship). Since I do still live with them but I am a co-owner of the house.
4. What are my chances of successfully sponsoring my husband to Canada?
5. Should I get a lawyer instead?
Any help would really be appreciated!
