My spouse has USA visit visa . I am a PR in canada and inviting her on a visitor visa. She is currently in France working but citizenship is India. I have still not applied for a PR sponsorship for her. We are planning to apply under the outland category later.

My question is, she has family in the US. Will it help in our TRV application to show that she will be visiting her sister in the USA and then she will be visiting me for a couple of weeks before returning to France, where she is currently working. Or showing a trip to the USA is not helpful ?

It also means we will have to show more airline tickets from france to usa to canada and then back to FRance.

she plans to be with me for a couple of weeks.

thanks.

include the information in the visitor visa application that she will be visiting her sister in the USA and will use the opportunity to travel from USA to visit you in Canada before returning to France......the visitor visa application is likely to e approved if your wife could convince the visa officer that she has strong ties to France and will return to France where is currently a resident.

My husband also resides in France but he is Algerian. He has a US visa, he was still denied for a TRV. I ordered the officer notes and it seems that the us visa was a good point. However we were still denied because they felt he didn’t not have enough ties to his home country.

Make sure that you provide proof in regard to her employment contract and if she has a lease in her name or a car title. Anything that would prove that she had a lot to loose if she does not go back to France.

thanks for the response. when you say US visa was a good point. do you mean just having it was good or did you show in your application that you would be travelling to US as well ? also did you eventually manage to get your trv ?

We traveled together to the US last summer, so I think having it was good.

We were denied in last December. My husband is in between jobs at the moment, although he had no intention of overstaying they were not convinced he was going to go back to France.

No he did not, that’s one of the reason for the refusal.

When you send your visa application, you can add additional proof. Send everything that ties your wife to France: work contract, lease, ...
