Well being that you do hold a valid visitor's visa, you are able to travel to CA to visit your partner to offer support.

Through this process, you have to think like a visa officer. What do you think will be the VOs concerns & possible red flags? Even though it's tougher to prove common-law and conjugal status in the islands you could have gotten affidavits attesting your relationship. A couple more excellent proofs are listed below in question format.

Did your sponsor pay any bills even though it's all in your name? Did you include any of that as proofs?
Did you have joint accts?
Did you get notarized letters from family and friends attesting to the genuintey of your relationship?
Did you submit proofs of airline tickets and passport stamps showing that he was in the island at least a year?

Did you get invitations to anything at all addressed as a couple?

If you can obtain these docs beneficial for your case, then appeal all the way. If you can't, I strongly suggest tying the knot and reapplying. Reapplying as a married couple should be easier and an extremely shorter time period than appealing through this office.
If you guys are married, it would be just proving a genuine relationship between you and your sponsor. Extensive documentation will not be necessary as in the case of common-law and conjugal applicants. Also take into consideration that you don't want your kids to age out. I believe 22 is that age.

Good morning all. Thanks for the Congratulations.
I really hope PoS sorts me out soon although, I can't leave BIM until June 2012. Have some stuff that I need to sort b4 I go and some of it is dependent on the courts of Barbados.

Blessed good morning,

Just received an e-mail from POS asking for my CSQ, declaration of who will take care of my kids until i sponsor them to migrate to Canada with me and copy of my divorce certificate( which i did include but I guess they lost it along the way. Got the docs filled out, signed and copied so will send them off by courier tomorrow. Admirable do I have to put the Father as caretaker of my kids or can they god parents take care of them too? I hope that would not make them refuse my application.

Hi Bajeinwaiting, you can put whomever you choose (father or godparents). They cannot deny your application based on that.
