Applying This Week; Sponsoring Russian Wife

[atethepaint]

Hello!

I've got everything ready, I'm just waiting for a DHL pickup. I'm sponsoring my wife who lives in Moscow. I was living there for 2 years but I'm in Canada now with a job, apartment, etc. I've got two years worth of photos, emails, text messages, letters from friends and family, all her notarized translations, train and plane tickets, copies of my Russian visas and work contract from my Russian employer, a letter from my Canadian employer and a few pay stubs (I couldn't get an Option C)...I think I've got everything I need.

Anyways, I just wanted to share with everybody my experiences as they develop.

This is a great site, not only is it informative but entertaining as well. I hope everyone keeps posting!

Don't forget your reciept

Make SURE you include an explanation of why no Option C and assure them that you don't have any prior commitments to CIC, nor are you an "undischarged bankrupt."  Those two things would appear on your Option C and would create issues for sponsorship approval.
