    Getting a Refund?

    Wait a second, am I reading this wrong? You have the option to pay in advance, OR you can pay after you've been approved. So for people who paid in advance, they only get half of it back? Are you kidding? Am I reading something wrong?

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    If by change you do get turned down. How do you go about getting your refund if you paid for everything up front?

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    It can feel like forever sometimes, but also, not too bad other times. For us though, been 8 month and counting. We're in no rush so we're okay with the wait.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Our application, too, went to LA. I wonder..since it says expedited, will it be done soon. As much as we'd love it to be, we also aren't quite ready to go. We haven't saved up enough for all the moving expenses. And on top of that, I heard it is super hard to rent a place when they don't look at...

    Not really sure what an AOR is and no, I never did receive any email from them. And if by some reason it went to junk, those are removed automatically. What is this query for $5? How do I go about it? I don't mind spending money, I mean come on...paperwork already cost a lot. What's another $5...

    Was In Process, now nothing?

    The site is back up and running just fine, but my 'in process' is still gone. Anyone ever have this happen before? I should state that there is now something new next to 'decision made.' The decision made info is the same info from back in May when the first part was approved. BUT, there is now...

    Our paperwork was received in April, and first part to sponsor was approved in May. Sept 1st the second part of the application went to 'in process.' The site is down so I haven't been able to check for any updates. Hopefully it will be back up tomorrow. I am a bit nervous because when the...

    Was In Process, now nothing?

    If a decision had been made, wouldn't it say 'decision made?' Also, I tried to log in again today, and after entering all of the info I always enter when logging in, I got this: "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:" And...

    Was In Process, now nothing?

    Okay. I will not bother calling for another few days. Hopefully there will be a fix to this. Because I figured if it was denied, would they not have an update that would say 'decision made' again? But this time on my partners part of the paperwork. Because mine was approved. I will keep...

    Was In Process, now nothing?

    Our application was in Buffalo and was In Process. This was the second round as the first part of the sponsorship process was approved. So it had been mailed to Buffalo and had an "in process" date of September 1st. I just decided to log in today to see if there was anything. Well, the in...

    Proof of relationship

    All we did is put who was in the photo, the date taken and what was going on during that time. We wrote it on the back of each.

    Canada Post

    We very dislike Canada post. Slowest service ever. In the USA we get letters from our state within 1 day of mailing out, and get mail on Saturdays as well. Canada Post does not work this fast. Like I had mentioned elsewhere, we spent almost $20 to pay for next day delivery of our mail to...

    I have another question. In Mississauga they decided if the sponsor is approved to sponsor. Therefore giving the Decision Made. When they send off the paperwork after that first step, to Buffalo...do they send Buffalo ALL of the paperwork? Or do they subtract the Sponsors paperwork and keep it...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Do you get your passports back? Or do they take it and replace it later with a Canadian one? We got our 'Decision Made' on May 11th. I don't know how long before it is received in Buffalo. Haven't received anything in mail yet and if they sent email, it probably went to spam and auto deleted...

    @uccemebug May 11th was when the Decision was made. I only logged in on the 16th to find out. So part one is done. Now onto part 2, which will be the hardest. We're so nervous. I have another question...let's say Buffalo gets our application by June 1st and they open it on June 20th. How long...

    Decision Made

    Okay, thank you for that. Which means...back to being insanely nervous. I wonder how long it takes if they decide it's a no, after it's sent off. I really dislike worrying and waiting. I am sure everyone feels the same. At least part one was approved. We'll pray that part 2 goes smoothly.

    No Option C

    My better half didn't have an option c either. We explained thoroughly why she had been out of work for so long (and it was because of all the travelling to be with me). I think if you're honest then it will be fine.

    Decision Made

    Really? I guess it depends on the case. I think my question now is..once the first part is approved, will the 'conjugal partner' part of it come in to play still, or has that part been accepted as well...
