Hi.

The barcodes go on top of the entire application. For example the PA barcodes will go on top of the applicants forms and supporting docs.

Your relationship proof is rather thin. You haven't included much. Although being American your burden of proof is lower, I'd include more than just three letters from friends.

You also need to include the reciept for payment of the fees, an employment letter if that is not what you mean by details of sponsor income, and sponsors NOA

As for relationship proof this is taken from the USA regional guide:

If you are being sponsored by your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, you must send evidence of the relationship between you and your sponsor such as wedding photos or proof that you are partners, letters between you and your sponsor, and telephone bills showing contact between you and your sponsor.

Proof of your sponsor's visits such as airline ticket coupons, boarding passes, copies of pages of your sponsor's passport showing entry/exit stamps.

My wife and I supplied WAY more than what they suggested.

Hi,

I replied to the thread you created.

Please do not spam several threads asking the same question.

It's rude.

Thank you so much for your response!
-Should all barcode pages be pulled out be placed at the very top of the hundreds of pages we are submitting?
-Am I handling the FBI/police clearance correctly since I haven't receive it yet but expect to anyway since it was submitted to FBI in May 2016 and I haven't received their official statement to submit with these apps?
-How were your 2 photographer pictures included? I have them in a small envelope & the envelope is labeled with my name and date of birth.

I appreciate all your help!

We separated it into 3 sections.

Sponsor forms and docs with barcodes on top, PA forms and docs with barcodes on top, and proof of relationship. We put it into separate envelopes and shipped it all together within a bigger package. The intention was for 3 envelopes, but we ended up with 6 due to the amount of evidence we sent.

CIC understands it takes time to obtain the FBI clearance. Include proof that it has been applied for and that it will be sent when obtained.

We were required to send 6 photos. We attached them in a small envelope with a paper clip to a cover page in the PA docs. We included a cover sheet with a numbered sticky tab for everything submitted with a table of contents explaining which doc/form was for each number. We then used binder clip to attach it all together. We did this for both sponsor and PA forms/docs and for relationship proofs. Example, for the medical exam we put a cover page that stated "Proof of upfront medical exam" with a tab that had say a "8" on it and paper clipped it. After the barcodes on top and the doc checklist we placed the table of contents which then stated "tab 8- proof of medical exam, 1 page"

Hi Guys,
Good evening, I am sponsoring my wife whom I got married to a couple of months ago.. Her passport and other identification documents still have her maiden name. Should she put her maiden name on the forms and sign to that (since all her docs reflect that) or should she use my surname given we have a marriage certificate to support name change?

Your help is much appreciated.

Chris

Hi.

All docs must contain the same name.

She will need to update everything with maiden name on it before applying.

Hi,
Do you mean update her docs with "my surname"... Can she sign her old name "maiden name" on all the forms consistently?

The name used in the app must be exactly the same as the name in her passport, regardless of what is on her other documents.

pls pls help.
Did it state which visa office received the application? Did it state which office your application was being sent to? In some cases, AOR1 might be skipped. I ask this because some sponsors have been approved in 3 weeks.

The posted sponsorship assessment time is 56 days....so you should be hearing from CIC around Aug 12 (56 days from Jun 16)...if you have not heard from them after that time, then you can make enquiries because the posted application processing time has been exceeded.

Hopefully this helps!
