Hi. I have been monitoring this forum for past 14 months and 2 weeks to be exact. i am also like you who applied under Spousal Family Class. I got my visa just today June 27. And I am very thankful to this forum because all your information were all useful and brought comfort during worry times. i visited my Filipino -PR spouse thrice in Vancouver, every year for a month, from 2011 up to last year. Yes, we are in same sex marriage.
I was an April applicant, but when I researched that my passport request date were likes of May applicants, I intentionally followed the May ones. I was sponsored by my spouse and I have a dependent child, obviously my spouse is not her biological father. We availed an immigration lawyer since my daughter cannot provide a NON ACCOMPANYING PARENT form, instead what we did is a DECLARATION with an attachment of a court order based on the settlement agreement between me and the biological father.
I felt that I must give back all the helpful stories you have provided. Most importantly to
JAZMINE, since we have the same timeline from the PASSPORT REQUEST to DM date ( though I came after her June 24) Sorry Jazmine, I did not intend to stalk you but thank you for tirelessly updating everybody the movement in your papers. When you said you were DM , I decided to open my ECAS too, hoping at least I would see an IN PROCESS status for a change, but instead I found a DECISION MADE status
from APPLICATION RECEIVED to DECISION MADE status , no IN PROCESS.
The feeling of relief today when I got my visa was heaven! its true, ALL THINGS SHALL PASS. And like this journey of waiting, this will also come to its finish line whether we like it or not, prepared or unprepared
Thank you everyone, and for those who are still waiting, I understand the worries, but again this too will come to an end one day.
More Power to everyone and God bless us all!
