NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

Hello guys, got our visas this morning. it's been a long long wait, but in his time he makes all things beautiful.
A Canadian company recruited my hubby from London and he left for Canada in 2010. Our PR application was in October 2011.

My hubby and I are married under the Ghanaian Customary law but not legally married so we have no marriage certificate.
We have a son who is now 4years. We applied as common-law partners and had to prove that we had lived together under the same roof for at least a year. We both provided bank statements and payslips from the same address. At the time that we declared our common-law partnership, (in Ghana even though we lived in London) was still legally married. They were separated though.

There were times that I felt so worried that AVO would not recognise me as a true dependent. All our situations are different but always back your story with documented evidence, I say the more the merrier. We later sent divorced certificate to them.
In the the time that we were waiting, I was refused TRV twice to Canada.

AVO has a mind of its own. It seems that they are not faced by any Ministerial Instructions that come from the immigration minister especially with regards to backlog and waiting times.
The London Visa Office for example is currently serving applicants from May, June, July 2013. AVO has yet to finish with 2011 applications. The only key here is faith and patience; lots and lots of it.

For all who are still waiting, God's speed.

Congratulations on your PRV.

Hello House,

Congratulations to all who have received one update or the other. And to those expecting....it can ONLY be positive, remain steadfast.

Just to contribute to the discussion on "change of name/use of maiden name" by sharing a personal experience. For my own application, I used my maiden name (since that is what is on my international passport) while my husband and daughter used their surname and there was no hassles. Most important is to add evidence of legal marriage.

There is NO law that says a woman must bear her husband's surname. Don't get me wrong, I had my change of name documents ready in 2012, but decided not to send to Accra since I do not plan to renew my passport until it expires in 2015. So, if change of name or renewal of passport is going to cause you any delay at this time, please ignore it and send your application as soon as possible. You can always update your application at any time, if you wish.

All the best!

I stayed in an European country for over six months after my application. If AVO should request for updated PCC , am I meant to also obtain PCC for this country or would it be only for the ones I sent during the application? Seniors please help out.
