I've heard they dont like anything being stapled together, i paper cliped mine together that way they can be taken apart easily.
lesley which visa office are you using?

 

[lesley]

So paper clips would be ok, so that's good, I thought that they don't want anything metal. Thanks for your quick reply.

Beijing Visa Office

I haven't seen anything about people saying they dont like them lol, they cant expect you just to send a load of paper with no organisation.
Hope you get everything ready without too much trouble

What's this Option-C print-out about? Neither me nor my sponsor live in Canada or pay taxes there.

 

[essex0227]

Write a letter explaining you dont live in canada therefore not filed taxes. What me and my hubby did was send the tax form from the uk just to prove that we pay our taxes.
But usually most people just explain they dont have one.
Hope this helps

In uk we have the p60, which tells the full year tax i have paid, i just attached that and a letter explainging why we had attached that, i think it may be different in each country what the yearly tax form is called.

Ryffa, I know how you feel hun, we will probably be spending our 12 wedding anniversary apart (9th October) being apart is hard I get to speak to my hubby about an hour a day, he rings me when he gets up for a bit before he goes to work, i ring him on his lunchtime and then again on his afternoon break, then he rings me about 2 am to say he has arrived back at his parents house, otherwise i wake up in a panic as i dont know if he got back there ok (daft i know). I think the hardest part is not being able to see him, hugs, and the smell of him, his clothes he left behind have now lost their smell. and the feeling of his kiss. I really miss that.

He missed my birthday (big one) and our grandaughter being born and so much more. but we feel it will all be worth it in the end.
just hang on in there, I wish you, and everyone else on this forum a speedy process.

We celebrated our First anniversary staying apart..

I wish none of the visa officer has to see this day ..

 

[awor]

I miss my husband too. The kids keep me occupied all day but I find myself staying up way too late so I'm too tired to think about missing him when I go to bed. Nothing about this process is easy or fun, it's just one big stressful head and heartache from start to finish.

I might just end up in August at least, the paperwork was delivered to my husband's po box this morning (took 7 days from oregon to central alberta using usps express). He's working until late tonight (an hour from the post office no less) but his mom is going to try to make it into town to pick it up so he can finish it up tonight, and one of them can take it back to the post office tomorrow.

Try to work out a time you are both able to speak by phone or even better Skype video. Stick to that regular time, you may find that you both will arrange your time to
accomodate it. Also send as many small messages as possible, text, emails, just to say hi and exchange even the most trivial info. This ties you into the routine of the other
person.

I never thought i would say this but facebook is a god send lol, and we play world of warcraft on the weekends together ;D
