Sorry all for the delay.  It has been a crazy past couple of weeks between the immigration process, work, volunteer work, and family stuff.

So here is the saga:
The high commission finally returned my husband's email stating the time and place of his interview and that if he didn't get the letter to print off the email and bring it with him to the interview.  Which he never received, so if this happens to you be pro-active. Btw, I did a case enquiry and sent a fax to the ND and they did respond to this.

He went to the interview and he said there were a lot of people waiting for an interview as well.  He had to wait over an hour past his scheduled interview time. 

His interview lasted ~ 10 minutes.  They asked basic questions about me.  eg Where do I work?  For how long?  My job before?  What I do?  They also asked why we didn't get married a long time ago.  And they asked something about why I married him, weird?  At the end of the interview, they gave him back the pictures I submitted in the application and told him he would receive his passport in the mail.

They never called me.

I checked ecas yesterday and it said under Perm Res: In process, and it finally had more info like medical results received.

Oh and intermittantly since May 4, ecas would show his address and then it would dissapear over and over again.

And today this is what ecas says:
We received your application for permanent residence on March 14, 2011.
We started processing your application on May 4, 2011.
Medical results have been received.
Interview scheduled for May 4, 2011.
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

I am not going to make any presumptions about the decision.  I will wait till my husband tells me he has received his passport and what the decision is.

Thanks for your support, this forum rocks!

Best of luck to all!

  Kewjoe, if you please, I need an update.  My husband has been approved to sponsor me and our application transferred to the Kingston visa office.

Sponsor approval was sometime last week, we called on Monday and it wasn't yet done, so I guess you can use Friday, May 6.  File transfer to Kingston was yesterday, May 9.

I have some stuff to add to my file.  I tried contacting Buffalo, but you can't talk to anyone, so I sent an email over a month ago and haven't received a reply.  Should I send the stuff in with the file number?  Or should I await a response?

Thanks

Gerry

[CharlieD10]

Send it.  Make sure to include the file number, applicant's DOB and FULL NAME.  Put these in a prominent place as a cover sheet for what you are sending.

THANK YOU CHARLIED!! You're fantastic :-) I just came on to update our situation...

So I'll tell you what my husband told me at 4am (as I sat here FREAKING OUT)....
He said he went to the Embassy, with all his paperwork and some (I made him bring another 60 pictures that he found in an old harddrive- we initially only included about 20 pictures....crazy I know). He went in, his interview was set for 9am and they called him in about 30 mins late. He was VERY calm and ready UNTIL he saw some lady leaving her interview CRYING and another man walked out pissed off and said "Good luck man, you're going to need it. At that point my husband was SH*TTING BRICKS! lol
He got called in, he sat down and the woman started off by asking questions about my work, what I do, how much I make and small details....then asked about how we met etc....My husband went on and on (as he said) about me and our daughter and the I.O was VERY nice and kept smiling at him (my husband states she was flirting with him because he is sooo handsome and nobody can resist him....lol) and the whole process lasted 10-12 mins!! She actually had to cut him off and say "Okay, its fine, I believe this is a genuine marriage, you need to apply for an ARC and pay $400 CAD....the sooner you do it the better and here is a sheet with the instructions" and he was on his way. She wanted to see a family declaration (its a Turkish gov't document) and he had that along with a criminal background check he did the day before "just in case". She was pleased he was very organized. She didn't ask to see all the pictures, phone bills/cards...nothing. She gave him all the stuff we initially sent in and he was on his way. WE ARE THRILLED and know the ARC is going to take a LONG time (esp. at this Embassy) so he went and paid the $400 CAD and brought back the receipt a few hours later. She mentioned they MAY need his fingerprints for the RCMP check but they'll let him know....I think we're going to get started on those to be one step ahead. So now the REAL waiting begins for all the background checks and criminal checks- he lived in Canada for 10 years so they'll be checking everything!! He has NO records or charges but did have a Canada wide Warrant for being in Canada illegally after his deportation (my fault....not funny I know).

So thats it, all the details and hopefully this will help someone going through the same thing :-)

I am VERY impressed and happy and don't mind the wait now....we'll see if I'm saying the same thing a year from now. LOL

THANK YOU EVERYONE for the well wishes and can't wait to see everyone re-united with their families/spouses very soon!
