As in what kind of applications? From what I've read ones that aren't so straightforward?
what decides they aren't straightforward? Sorry, it's a really deep question, and only those who are getting calls for interviews may be able to answer my question .. i just dont want my case called up for an interview .. mine is a 2nd marriage .. that's why .. :(

Hi everyone. I need some advise .I applied for my wife's visa in November 2016. Yesterday I got a reply from LVO asking for some more documents and some explanation. Documents they have requested are :

1)Updated PCC
2) Communication proof since November 2016 , post wedding pictures
3) Due to some issues my parent were not able to attend the wedding so they need explanation.
4) Proof of Sponsor visit ( I did not visit her since I came back to Canada after my wedding ).They have asked if Sponsor did not visit than provide an explanation.
5) My and my wife lived together after wedding but I only stayed there 8 days after my wedding . Now my whole family is in Canada so that's why she is currently living with her parents. They have asked our plans about Walima . We did small reception of about 40 people in Pakistan and told them that we will do bigger reception in Canada because my( sponsor) family is settled in Canada.

I need some advise what will be the best way to positively answer these questions. They have not asked anything about the marriage because our marriage was attended by almost 350 people ( we also send mehndi photographs. but it seems they are concerned about few things after the wedding. . Also, is this PFL or additional documents request only?? The letter contains 2 pages and they have asked us to reply within 40 days . Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Explain everything as it really is.
1-2) PCC and communication proof is easy. They enat pics of both of u taken after marriage of outings, family get togethers etc. Include evidence of all modes of communication between you and spouse: Skype screenshots, screenshot of whatsapp messages (8-9 per month of various times during a month), screenshot of whatsapp call log, emails, communication via Facebook.
3) submit letter from the family members of reason as to why
they could not attend the wedding and that they are looking forward to hold the walima function and celebration once their daughter in law come a to Canada..
4)Explain the reason and submit related proof. If you could not get vacation, then submit letter from employer stating the reason. If u plan on visiting your spouse in the coming months you can add that as a proof.

5) Show the planning that you have done for the Walima. Quotes from places you want to hold the walima, guest lists, rexeipts for shopping that you have done for walima etc

Go to the spreadsheet for 2015 and 2016. Check out the notes column for those who were in interview queue.

Being in school has helped me a lot. not just with this process but in general being away from the the love of my life for so long. I am doing my undergrad in physics and am very passionate about my studies. Maybe take up a course, or do something to keep you busy, something fulfilling. I still have my moments but I find I am compelled to keep my shit together because I have school I want to focus on. All the best you guys. Hope you find the strength to cope with all this. :( breaks my heart reading your posts really does. Wish there was something I could do.
I have a full time demanding job and a kid to take care of. My hands are full but there are times when I can't help but think!

If you are being told during interview that "I'm statified" and "we will start backgrounds"

Can they still ask for additional documents?

Nope never changed to NA. And not in process yet. Pretty sure our eligibility hasn't begun yet, hubby got an email two days ago that it awaits an initial review.
