Just a few more questions about spousal sponsorship..

Okay, So I recently came across this:

http://www.canadavisa.com/news/entry/proposed-changes-for-spousal-sponsorships-110330.html

The Proposed changes for spousal sponsorships. It does say that spousal applies for couples who have been in relationships for 2 years or less. I will be going to my fiance next month. I have my visa and everything. We plan on getting married in June/July and in October we will be together for 2 years. We have been engaged for an entire year though. i'm probably just a bit paranoid but it would not be complicated for us right?

Also, On the cic website they made a big list of things that would possibly cause your application to take longer. Im fine with every thing listed but I was curious about this one:

•The applicant or his or her family members require an interview and lives in an area not regularly visited by immigration officials

"family members" What exactly do they mean? Besides myself, Like could my parents or family back in my home country be asked for an interview? or what do they mean? I know I can be asked for that and we will be doing inland but my family back home, could they be possibly asked for an interview?

As I was recently corrected to understand, the two years means two years of marriage for spousal applicants and two years since common-law status for common-law couples.  So if you will be filing as spouses, less than two years after your marriage, this will apply to you.

"Family members" refers to persons accompanying the principal applicant, such as dependent children.  It does not apply to your relatives, such as parents and siblings, who are not part of your application.  If the only person being sponsored is you, this is not something you need to concern yourself with, only you can be requested to attend an interview in such a case.

Oh okay, thank you for replying. So basically we can still get married in June/ July and then apply for spousal a month or two after that, right?
