Singapore timeline

[RKBM]

Just my opinion but if iam not mistaken i see two major red flags....parents failed to attend the wedding...student vusa denied...i think that is y interview has been recommended

Does recommend Interview means its a no from them? Should I take it as a sign of refusal?

Thanks in advance

No... it just means they have doubts about your relationship
Many people have interviews and still receive their PR.
Just be prepared for the interview

Thank you.
Yes first marriage for both, more than 200 people joined the ceremony(photo proof given) , the good thing is they accepted me but couldn't join the event as the event was in our homecountry they have a school going child. They provided a explanation signed letter for that. Only thing that could be the reason behind interview is a past "Canadian student visa refusal" in 2010 before marriage.

By the way can you tell me how to check whether there is a redflag or not in the GCMS? and possibly how long it can take to complete the whole process.

If there was any reason for your interview, I highly doubt that it's the student visa refusal. The most common reasons for having to attend an interview are:

- huge age difference (but yours isn't huge)
- different religious and ethnic backgrounds (but you're both from Bangladesh)
- short courtship before marriage (but you guys dated for a long time)
- something out of the norm. For example, if in your culture normally people have a big wedding but you didn't, then it could cause a suspicion. But you did have a big wedding just like in any other south Asian countries.
- not enough amount of relationship and communication proofs (but you provided plenty)

So I really don't understand why the need for an interview. I just hope they'll just eventually waive it.

If there are red flags, usually there should be a note in the GCMS. But it doesn't appear to have any, so I can't say what caused them to recommend an interview...

How long it takes to complete the whole process: I really can't answer as it varies. But in general, the timeline of those that require to attend an interview is as follows:

Application submission till interview notification = 1 year or a bit more.
Interview notification till the actual interview = roughly 1 year.
Total time = roughly 2 years, give or take a few months.

Here's an example of a Bangladeshi who had to attend an interview:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/profiles/Shiny88-u107224.html

As you can see, she submitted her application in February 2011. Her visa was issued in May 2013. So her whole process from start to finish took about 2 years and 3 months. Assuming your timeline will be the same as hers (well, let's round it down to 2 years), then if you pass the interview, you should get the visa sometime around October 2015.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves here...let's just stay positive and hope that you won't have to attend the interview. Afterall you haven't got the interview invitation, so it's possible that they wrote "recommend interview" by mistake...

No.....it only means they want more assurance about your relationship. Many people who had to attend an interview, got their application approved, eventually. So don't worry... =)

 

[RKBM]

That was a real help from you people

Thanks from the bottom of my heart

If I order a GCMS report, is it gonna harm my sponsorship file being processed in Singapore? Will the officers know about it? Will it trigger delays?

 

[kaisin82]

Kamloops, it will not affect your file in any way. No trigger of any delays. You are entitled to see your file according to the privacy act of canada. pay $5, wait 30days to see a 30page report. if you have just submitted your file in the past 6 months, you prob won't see much stuffs

Also my guess is the groom is 2 years younger than bride is a cause of interview. In Bangladesh it is not a norm, it is rare.

Thanks. Do I need to have my wife sign the consent form? She is not with me now. In Bangladesh. Do they email or mail the GCMS report?

 

[kaisin82]

the main applicant has to sign the form and attach it. you can send it via internet.

 

[bangla]

we sent our passport end of march and it is almost 1 months no reply as everyone else.

We sent a case specific email enquiring the status of the passport and also advised that we are making plans for travel as it is over 1 month. The passport request specifically said not to make travel arrangement for 1 months and it is over 1 month???
