Hi XXKWISIT,

Welcome to the Visa Forum!

It now says sponsoship processing takes 43 days and they are current processing applications received upto and including July 16.

You can check the link each day to see when they are processing for the day your application has been received and then expect the letter to arrive in about 1-2 weeks after that.

Here is the link!

Good Luck!

I don't know...when I click on the decision made icon it takes me to a page that says: sponsorship. It says a decision has been made on my application and that I will receive a letter in 1-2 weeks. I am assuming that this approval/denial of me becoming a sponsor?
Anyone?

from wat i have been reading from other posts it usually says descision made wen the whole process is complete as in descision made for him to come to canada... I may be wrong though..

it means a decision has been made for you as a sponsor. You will need to wait for the letter in the mail (which mine was received within the week) If it is an approval, it will also state that the application has been forwarded to the office in Port-Au-Prince

This is where the waiting begins.....

Ok. The letter arrived yesterday and I was approved :)


Try to remember, that was the easiest part.;)

Unless they need any more documents you won't hear anything for months and months so hang in there.

Congrats on being approved for sponsorship!

Even though its the easy part it still feels good to have heard something.

Try to stay patient through the next months as they can really take their toll on a person and on a couple!

Good Luck!

Thank you for your support.

It's nice to know that there are others going through the same thing and unless you are going through it, there is no way you can understand. Most people that I talk to here don't even realize that Dominicans can't come here without a VISA.

Thanks again to everyone :)
