Dear Friends,
I have been reading this forum for a while and the community here is just amazing. I really need your advice.
I am applying to sponsor my husband. I am a Canadian citizen. We have dated for two years and just got married last month. We have a common background and no difference in age\culture\religion.
Our application would be have been just a routine one if it weren't for one reason. Background declaration form is asking if the applicant has been ordered to leave Canada or any other country. Here is the story: my husband lived in the States for 12 years. He studied there and in 2006 he got married. He received a conditional permanent residency through his ex-wife. Their marriage did not work and they separated and eventually got a divorce. His ex-wife abandoned him and did not cooperate (she did not share the bills, photos etc) when the time came to remove the conditions on his residency. He had to appeal to the US Immigration judge alone and prove that he entered the marriage in good faith. The immigration judge dismissed his case saying that my husband did not meet his burden of proof. The evidence he provided was insufficient. He was not accused of fraud or anything. The judge terminated his conditional residency and ordered him to leave the US but he also granted him voluntary departure. After the appeal was finalized, my husband left the country voluntarily.
During the 12 years he lived in the States he did not have any criminal background. His FBI check is clean.
So, how are we going to explain that to CIC? Should we go into all details? I think choosing the right words is very important here because this situation will raise a flag immediately and CIC will start questioning our relationship. But we have no fear because our relationship is real and we have strong evidences to prove it. (Photos, flight tickets, vacations taking together, Skype history, chats etc)
Could you please advise how we should go with this? Was anyone in the same situation???
Thank you
