Canada to Manchester in a few weeks :)
« on: June 16, 2017, 02:49:18 AM »
Let me start of by saying I'm not American, but looking for a community of like minded folks - hope no one minds :)

I'm sitting in Canada atm waiting for my spouse visa to be approved. *fingers crossed*

Met my husband in 2014
Travelled for a year together in 2015/16
Just spent the last 6 months together in Manchester
Got hitched in Apr :D
Now I'm back in Canada doing the visa thing

Hope to be moving back to Manchester in a few weeks, and this time for good!!!

Anyone else in Manchester?
Apr 25: Married in Gibraltar :D
May 11: Application submitted online

Welcome!  Processing in a Canada is usually a bit quicker than the US, so you are in luck.   ;)

Welcome! I'm also Canadian but living in the US at the moment. Everyone on here seems to be friendly and helpful, so you're in a good spot for support :). Fingers crossed for a speedy answer on the visa.

Welcome!! You being from Canada isn't really an issue in regards to joining the forum :) I think it's more that it might be more difficult finding people who have dealt with your specific visa as I'm not sure if Canadian Visa is wildly different than American, but the rest will all be relevant :)
My, how time flies....

* Married in the US and applied for first spousal visa August 2013
* Moved to the UK on said visa October 2013
* FLR(M) applied for  May 2016. Biometrics requested June 2016. Approval given July 2016.
* ILR applied for January 2019 (using priority processing). Approved February 2019.
* Citizenship applied for May  2019
* Citizenship approved on July 4th 2019
* Ceremony conducted on August 28th 2019

The system for processing varies from country to country but the visa is the same which ever country in the world you are applying from.  :)
