Hey Shawn

This message if for you in specific couldnt email you but thought id message you on here.

You started your process about 1 month before me, My wife issss here on a TRV and is here until August, Im hoping her PRV will actually be completed before she goes home so she can come home whenever after she is done visiting her family.

But my question for you is, While waiting for hear word from them from the time they recieved your application in Moscow to getting your visa, did you bother sending in any "additional documents, pictures, reciepts etc. " and all that stuff??? Or did you just wait until you heard from them??

I was kinda going on the fact that if my wife got a TRV it would be VERYYYYY strange that she would get denyed a PRV or need more documents, as they know she is here with me, so not sure why they would need anymoreee proof.

So just wondering if you send anything else in while waiting?

[jarnail25]

Also to everyone who HAS applied for TRV and been denied, its not that expensive, try again when you can. I supplied bank info to show money to support while there here, she supplied work letter saying shes given holidays, if you have health coverage and your married you can actually add your spouse to that coverage, so ALL those kind of documents help.

Good luck if you try again for the TRV. And to everyone waiting.

Not completely true, if your from Armenia you will have to go trough the UN mission ,send every thing by Pony express at a total cost of around $250.00.

Somebody just posted a list of processing times (Moscow and Kiev) different from the ones here on Trackitt on rusforum.ca:
http://www.rusforum.ca/post157396.html#p157396
but some cases infos are incomplete (Calvados dates for example).  Maybe people concerned should help this effort by supplying their info or inform this poster of the existence of Trackitt.

BTW a friend of my wife just got her POVL this week just over 5 months after submission to Mississauga at the beginning of December 2010.  She's going to Quebec.  We're 2 weeks behind them; fingers crossed!!!!

Some tips about international moving:

One Month before Moving
Gather moving supplies, boxes, tape, rope.
If moving far away, make any necessary travel arrangements like airline, hotel, and rental car reservations.
Call a moving company or make truck rental reservations to move yourself.
Finalize real estate and apartment rental needs.
Place legal, medical, and insurance records in a safe and accessible place.
Give your mailers your new address :
Friends and family members
Banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions
Charge card and credit card companies
Doctors, dentists, and other service providers
State and Federal Tax authorities and any other government agencies as needed.
Save moving receipts (many moving expenses are tax deductible).
Make maps of your new neighbourhood to familiarize yourself and your family with your new area.
Plan your moving budget

Two Weeks before Moving
Inform gas, electric, water, cable, local telephone and trash removal services of your move. Sign up for services at your new address.
Inform long distance phone company of your move. Sign up for long distance service at your new address.
Recruit moving-day help.
Confirm travel reservation.
Arrange to close or transfer your bank account, if appropriate.

The Day before Moving
Set aside moving materials like a tape measure, pocket knife, packing boxes, tape and markers.
Pick up rental truck.
Check oil and gas in your car.
If travelling, make sure you have tickets, charge cards, and other essentials.

Packing Tips
Keep the following supplies and accessories on hand:
Boxes, all sizes
Bubble wrap or other cushioning material
Marking pens
Tape measure
Furniture pads or old blankets
Packing tape and scissors
Money and credit cards
Label each box with the room in the new home to which it should be delivered.
Number the boxes and keep a list of what is in each box.
Clearly mark fragile items.
Pack a bag of personal items you'll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack.
Keep a medical kit accessible.
If you have children, pack a bag of games and activities for the trip.

After your Move
Locate police and fire stations as well as hospitals and gas stations near your home.
Scout your new neighbourhood for shopping areas. You may need furniture, tools, or house wares unexpectedly.
Call the Department of Sanitation in your new town to find out which day the trash is collected. Also ask whether your new community has recycling programs.
Seek out new service providers such as a bank, cleaners, veterinarian.
Call your Chamber of Commerce for helpful information on: Schools, Cable service, Cultural events and community activities, Libraries and parks, and Availability of emergency calling services, such as 911
Provide your new doctor and dentist with your medical history. You may need to request your file from your previous doctor/dentist.
Transfer insurance policies to an agent in your new community. You may also wish to make a detailed list of your belongings, their value, and your coverage.
Give your new home a good cleaning.
Moving can be stressful. Watch for effects on family members and pets so you can give comfort and a helping hand.

jarnail, I strongly suggest that you provide additional documentation after your wife returns.  More photos and photocopies of passport stamp, tickets etc.  Also include emails and other things similar to original application package.  But don't make it to large, thumb width at the maximum.

When I visited my wife at Christmas for one month, as soon as I got back, we sent additional proof.
