Can you please pmThank you everyone. I will speak about our experience and journey.
My husband had charges showing up on his police check which happened more than 10 years ago. What we did was applied for permanent residence along with a criminal rehabilitation application. The pr application is 490 for landing fees and 550 for the application. The criminal rehabilitation application is either 200 or 1000. What we did was pay the 200 and if we had to pay 1000 we would owe 800. We gathered all necessary court documents for the charges. Even if you have charges that were withdrawn get a letter explaining such. My husband provided a letter indicating he had finished his sentence.
We applied June 2017, police record submitted at time of application. July, 2017 was asked for medicals. File transfered to Jamaica Aug, 2017. It was silent till March 2019 when he received a call on a Sunday advising he will receive a call for a interview date. Two days later we were given the date for an interview scheduled three weeks later.
The day of the interview he had a pleasant white lady who was very nice. Only a couple of questions were asked about me like where I work, how much I make. She didn't even want to see pictures of us as she was satsified. The whole process took 2.5 hours to receive the visa on the spot. Our police check and medicals we're extended.
If anyone out there has a similar situation don't loose hope or give up your spouse will get through. We did it ourselves without a lawyer.
Good luck everyone on your journeys your spouse will be home soon.
Me I have some questions about the process
