SPOUSE sponsorship timeline

Hi. I'm Japanese citizen and currently living in the US with my Canadian husband (he will be my sponsor).

Does anyone know how long would it take to process applications?
How long in advance should my husband start preparing for applications?

Thanks!

It doesn't take that long for you to gather everything as long as you have all the required docs in handy.


I assume you are not a US Citizen nor PR, basing it just from the fact you did not mention it, one requirement would be the FBI Clearance, that alone takes 8-16 weeks to get for non-US Citizens or PR. Just in case you are a citizen or PR, you can get it thru an approved channeler.

Thank you so much for responding to my question!
I have L2 (spouse visa) in the US and I moved to the US 2 months ago.
You have also mentioned that I have to get a police clearance from all the countries I've visited. I lived in Australia for 3 years as a student. Does that mean I have to get one from Australia too? (I was not married to my husband at the time...)

It was my understanding that you only need a background check from a country if you stayed longer than six months. Has this changed?

I'm a Canadian sponsoring my Korean common law spouse. As for a timeline, it looks like Manila applicants from April are getting their ppr right now.

It has not changed yet. But it is upon the officer's discretion to ask for one if they deem it necessary whether you have stayed for just under 6 months. But if it was a week or so, say a trip overseas, you're fine.

You can read more on http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp.
That's good to know. My partner travelled in America for three months. Perhaps it might be a good idea to be pro-active and request a crc now...

Hi sis,

We didn't send through courier but I think the vac form is important. Just have the applicant sign the 2nd page. It's giving vfs consent to process it.

My husband printed the form and signed it, but at the vfs location they actually had them on hand.

Print mo sis but don't fill it up if it doesn't apply to you. I think the 3rd page is signed at the vfs but I'm not completely sure. Di namin sinulatan kase wala naman kameng agent o representative at di rin naman kame nag pa assist.
