Hi everybody! Pretty new to this!
I sent an application to sponsor my husband June01 and have not heard anything about it yet...didn't even get a notice that Mississauga got the papers. For starters I wish good luck to everyone, and hopefully everyone gets their papers ASAP and their loved ones will be by their side soon. My loved one is in Serbia and I'm in Canada, we are both young and frustrated that we spent more time apart then together...So, I see that some of you are waiting for a long time and some of you (MONTREALSNOW) Lucky you!! not as long. Hopefully we wont be waiting too long. My question is does everyone get an approval notice as a sponsor on the email or did some of you get it by the regular mail?? And we were married in Serbia...another question is, does anyone know if he would be allowed at all to come on a tourist visa until he gets the papers or it's not allowed? Just need opinions, any information you guys have will be greatly appreciated!!
My husband (whos's the sponsor) received an email about sponsor approve, we got no regular mail and no AOR, just this one email about approve. Besides us, everyone seemed to have gotten an AOR and the sponsor approves mostly came by email, but some still got regular mail too. It seems to depend on the offices. Even for AOR's it takes a while to get it and you're from june, they are still on april and may applications and currently seemed to have slowed down :-(
My file got transfered to vienna last week and i haven't received any notice yet either, it sometimes takes another month to hear of them. Its a lot patience needed for this whole process ><.
Your husband can come to visit you during the application but needs prove he will go back home after his visit. If he tries to stay on tourist visa till the application is through, he has to have luck with the border controll giving him a long time on the tourist visa and also has to extend the lenght of the tourist visa between when the application isn't done before the tourist visa expires. If you plan on doing that, get enough information about it, theres lots of threats about that topic here. It's possibles, but be prepared. Im not an expert in this, some other people know more about it, im just trying to hold out the last few months now till all is over, we've been through such long times of not seeing each other, i will be able to do the rest now too
and try to spend this time with my family before i can't see them anymore so soon.
Good luck to you and i hope they speed up again for everyone!
