You must have some sort of voodoo. We applied 4 months earlier than you (Aug 2 2019) and still have not even received a pre-arrival letter - stuck on "assessing eligibility" and "background check" since December 2019. Simple spousal app, no dependents, no criminal record. Sigh.

I won't get into all the details but it was an emergency situation to get me, a CDN citizen home, Myself, wife and son were stuck in MNL at the time. DM had already been made so they issued their visa and COPR's to be able to accompany me. Exceptional circumstances.

please help: would it be a ground for spousal visa rejection if I was previously denied of US Tourist Visa? How about if the person being sponsored is unemployed, would it be a ground for rejection of our sponsorship application?

I did include a passport size of mine PA and my dependent, For the sponsor not needed anymore.
Thank you for your help answering my question. I wonder if the timeline for outland spousal visa is still within 12 months timeframe. We are planning to submit our application next month. I hope there is not so much delay. Best of luck to everyone!
