    Criminal Inadmissability question

    No idea, really. If it was dismissed, then it shouldn't really be on your record? I think asking a lawyer would help clear things up.

    Criminal Inadmissability question

    We have our AOR, and have linked our online account to the application. We just finally received the FBI check back in the mail (it took approximately 6 months to process), so we will be uploading that to our online account this afternoon. But, my further researches and speaking with some...

    Criminal Inadmissability question

    My cover letter really wouldn't help you much since the details are all completely different. For the paragraph about his arrest, we just told exactly what happened that night, since the police checks are not going to provide any context to the event - just the charges. But these were the two...

    Criminal Inadmissability question

    I did find this on some immigration lawyer's site, so I'm hoping because they are both from one event that it's not going to be an issue. It's literally the only thing on his record - he's never even gotten a traffic ticket before, and had Top Secret clearance when he was in the Army...

    Criminal Inadmissability question

    Yes, I've addressed it explaining the entire situation in the cover letter, and it is also mentioned on the application itself. Also, as per some advice we received we will be including print-outs of the laws as they are in North Carolina, and the Canadian Equivalents so that the case manager...

    Criminal Inadmissability question

    Question regarding police checks: I had posted awhile back about my spouse (inland - spousal sponsorship) having a minor conviction on his record stemming from one bad night in 2014 when his wallet was stolen and he was unable to pay for a bar tab - which is a summary offense here in Canada...

    Niagara Falls Elopement an issue? (Inland Spousal Sponsorship - 2018)

    Yes, he has been up here to visit several times before. I don't anticipate him having more than 1-2 suitcases. He owns very little, and will be selling off pretty much everything before he comes. I think he'll have 1-2 big boxes being shipped up that contain a few electronics of his. He has...

    Niagara Falls Elopement an issue? (Inland Spousal Sponsorship - 2018)

    Ok - reading on dual intent a bit. So since he's coming from the US and doesn't need to go through a visitor's visa process as it's just automatically granted for 6 months when you arrive and go through customs - am I still supposed to fill out some dual intent application? I'm looking at this...

    Niagara Falls Elopement an issue? (Inland Spousal Sponsorship - 2018)

    Ok - thanks for the clarification. I'll just let him know to say that he's coming to get married. :D

    Niagara Falls Elopement an issue? (Inland Spousal Sponsorship - 2018)

    Thank you for the tip. So what should he say at the airport when he arrives then? That he's just here for a few weeks? I mean, if he's coming here to get married, why would that be an issue? How do they expect people to do Inland applications if they're not allowed to be inland? I'm confused :)

    Niagara Falls Elopement an issue? (Inland Spousal Sponsorship - 2018)

    Hello! I had a couple of questions. My fiance will be arriving here in Toronto to move in with me on Jan. 15th. We will be going to Niagara Falls NY for a small wedding on Feb 2, and then as soon as we have the marriage certificate back, we'll be submitting everything. I've been dealing with...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Here is what is says in the complete information booklet, and on the document itself it specifically states siblings, including half and step siblings. Does this just mean that if we don't declare, and then in some hypothetical future family members materialize that we try and sponsor, that THEN...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Ah ok - because it specifically stated siblings on the forms as members that must be claimed, and I was like "oh man - this is going to be a pain"

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi- Quick question! I will be sponsoring my USA-citizen fiance after the wedding in early 2018, but we're starting on the application now, so we can just send it off once we're wed and he's moved here. When they ask you to claim all your relatives, he has a MILLION brothers and sisters due to...
