    what's your guess/opinion

    4-6 month is just an average AOR processing time so I am sure you will get yours next month if not May. I understand your concern..I had to mail additional documents and that added extra time. It sure is frustrating.

    Document Checklist

    I don't think you need to have a co-signer..you are sponsoring your wife so you don't need to co-sign anything..neither your wife.

    If you know your Client ID number it is most helpful...but they will ask you several more questions that you should know the answers like date of birth, where/date you landed, address, phone number and such (I felt like I couldn't hesitate or she wouldn't think it was me). They want to make...

    Husband visiting canada

    Is your hubby from the visa exempt country? I am curious..even he's a resident of the States it doesn't mean he's visa exempt. (correct me if I am wrong) As for your inquiries..in my opinion, only answer the questions IO asks..nothing more, nothing less. If IO asks "how long are you planning...

    Husband arrested for assault

    Is that "assult" charge a "domestic assult"? and has he finished serving the time? If its a domestic assault or a sexual assult then he won't be eligible to sponsor you but if it is just an assult (like getting into a fight at the bar, etc) then he probably could sponsor you. Please always...
