Extra Explanation for Application...!!?

[Tina85]

HEy everyone ...

I am paranoid...I added many little sticky notes on the forms explaining the answers to some questions etc...for example for IMM 5406 Additional Family info my husband didn't know one of his brothers exact address as he was moving so we said that in a note...also, for IMM 5669 in Education section my husband stated he completed up to Masters degree, but then put a little * beside that and write a note explaining that he couldn't attend his grad ceremony to obtain his degree hard copy due to recent war in that country....

Do you guys think being that honest will get us in to extra delays etc??? I am getting a bit worried now......

No, actually explaining things upfront saves time later. Don't leave gaps or obvious questions to be asked. The visa officers are not psychic, if there is a circumstance or issue with the information you are required to provide which you cannot answer directly, providing an explanation will make it easier for the VO to assess your application. If he/she finds themselves constantly querying what you said because you left gaps or didn't answer completely where you should, they will likely take a good while to process your application.

Thanks Charlie!!

I finally sent in my application today...now just have to get over the 63 days to get approved as a sponsor then God knows how long for processing time ....Goood luck to us all...I wish they would just reduce the time from 63 to 36 that would make our life much easier

Sticky notes would not have been my first choice. It's better to add additional sheets of paper even if it is just a one line addendum. Sticky notes are too easy to lose. But you should be fine. Seems like the additional information you were adding wasn't crucial to the application.
