Hey jamwifey I have not started to file as yet. I have lived with my other half of almost six years since December 2009. We are going to file under Family-common law spouse, so i have 2 more months before I meet the one year requirement. Planning on filing through the CIC-Buffalo office because they have a quick processing time there. Is your processing almost finished in Kingston?

[jamaicanincanada]

thanx for the welcome chelley 

[chelley]

sheriag... awww thanks... i'm not here as much as i'd like, but i do think of ya'll thru the process... i know you're skilled class, what is the profession if you don't mind me asking?

jamaicanincanada... you're welcome

do you have an open US visa (1yr or more) or residency?  since you've been researching you probably know you need that to apply thru US...  My hubby was in the UK when we applied... we decided to apply thru kingston because from our research we would have been on a slow track in London (which can be very slow, they interview just about 100% of applicants who aren't from UK but are applying thru there and the background checks are much more indepth)... where in Kgn his standing UK visa could be seen as a plus rather than a detriment... (hope that makes sense)... not sure if the US works similarly, but you might want to dig a bit deeper and see how non-US citizens fare going thru there... our decision worked to our advantage and we were thru in 4m, i wouldn't be surprised if we were still in the process in London even tho their averages are faster... sorry for the ramble, just thought i'd share our logic with you so you can best prepare...

okay back to work!

hi all

update  update update 

my hubby is going for his interview  nov 2,10  and them tell him to come with documents and passtport  yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[canuck0469]

Great news missin, I guess they must have left someone back from the training to actually do something

[YardieMy]

Evening to all!

Sheraig: thanks for posting that link

It's nothing new to us, they could as save the money it took for the audit and ask us... We would have been able to tell them what's wrong with KG!

Am I making up things or I read somewhere that they should answer to any inquiries we make in a 30 days delay? Cause if so I'll prepare myself to send them a ychtib mail to know wha gwaan wid mi file as my MP told me that they wouldn't have any other communication with them before end of January.
Can't beleive that in 8 months the only time they had time to do is look if the file was complete and no docs were missing! I really have to try something before hubby tun mad!

Welcome to all the new members

 @ shelley
4 months is a really good time. Glad to hear that you got through in such a short time.
I have a non-immigrant US Visa and I currently live in Canada came here in 2007 on a study permit finished school in December 2009 and I am now in Canada on an Open Post Graduation work permit. I had initially intended to apply Inland(in Canada) since this is where I am but the processing times for Inland applications are a bit longer for example they are just processing applications that were received in January 2010. After looking at some other forums and the processing times for Buffalo I decided to go with that office. I went to the CIC Buffalo site to check if I could apply through through there even though I don't live in the US and I saw this:

'Family Class

You may submit your application for permanent residence to the Regional Program Centre in Buffalo if you have been lawfully admitted to Canada or the United States for a period of at least one year. If you cannot meet this standard, you must submit your application to the Canadian Visa Office serving your country of nationality.'

Also I didnt want to do inland because I saw that there is no right of appeal with inland apps. whereas with outland apps. there is a right of appeal. Oh yeah and since I live in Ottawa its easier (and cheaper) to get to Buffalo than to Kingston in case I need to go in for an interview.
So far I have come across a couple of non US permanent residents that have gone through buffalo and fared well. But based on your info I will continue to look for more and see what there experience was like going thru there.

Chelly ...awwww ...tell the likkle big man HAPPY BDAY...so cute ..

[chelley]

jamaicanincanada... yes, as long as you have the US visa i think you're good to apply thru there...

I'm sure it's much more common there than thru the UK just because of the convienence factor...  so the US is likely quite different (the UK has the reputation of being more of a gateway from the middle east, and i suspect much of the immigration red tape in those circumstances is a bit of a push from the US anyways)...

it seems like you're doing all your research which will be very helpful.. the process alone can knock you for a loop if you're not prepared!

[jamaicanincanada]

 @  chelley
So true chelley. I was looking at the paperwork the other day and even that seems overwhelming (and I haven't even applied as yet). Plus for common law i going to have to show one whole heap of evidence that we are common law and that our relationship is genuine. So now I just taking the time to start gathering those.

[jamwifey26]

CONGRATS BOOO That interview will be a breeze for you, no doubt. Final stretch mi love.

Man even though KG is slow every week we get a likkle update.

Yes Chelly glad to be in the final stretch and will be even happier when its over.

Lonely: Yes man my little one excited even though she was mad that she had to miss music class to go do meds.
