For this question, you can say yes, if you lived in the same home together during those 3/4 months.
On my application, I said yes I did live with my husband, and listed the dates as every time I go down, because I stay sometimes for 3-6 months and live in the same house

so 28 would be the last time she came and leave that was the time we got married

@ Sunkissed814 sponsor questionnaire form number 14 and sponsored spouse questionnaire form number 11
Chucky44 for both of these questions I entered a day as well. If I could remember the exact date I would use the first of the month. I knew the first time I landed in JA to visit my husband after he returned to JA, I knew that same day I met most of his family for the first time so I picked days from that trip!

My advice.... Use your memory for exact days can and if you can't remember use the first day of that month/year.

Dear members, here is a question for you:

We are in the process of renewing our police certificate in JA. 2 passport size pictures are needed. Does the back of picture need to be signed by someone to prove identity like with a passport? If so, who has the capacity to sign?

Hi Jlove!,

yes there are a few of us here whose application was transferred from Kingston to POS. Kingston gets to help of the Trinidad office when they have a backlog. I am curious, when was you application submitted to Mississauga and received by Trinidad?

you must have received an AOR (acknowledgment of receipt) from POS before you received the request for more information. Always helpful to compare timeframes with others in an around the same time as you : ) Do you know the date of the AOR?

We received our AOR from Trinidad on March 10th and still waiting now for an update. Our application was approved and transferred to Jamaica on October 16th, 2014.

What kind of additional information are they asking you for?
