vintage,
congratulations on receiving news that there is some progress happening with your file!
i can't say enough how important it is for your own sanity to stay positive & try not to stress about all the "what if's".
dominican_daisy is right in what she said about red flags...
if you take a minute & try to think about it from the governments perspective it might make it a little easier to understand WHY they would write that on your file.
in many many many situations, underpriviledged people will use foreigners to gain access to canada, a better life, more money etc.
the government looks for the "red flags" and signs that show up on the applications when a dominican is using a foreigner for "visa only" purposes.
(example.. age gap, getting married too fast, no proof of continuing emails, phone calls, trips after the marriage etc.)
when these signs pop up, they usually make the applicant attend an interview, request more proof of relationship etc to be sure that your relationship is real & not fraudulent.
this is to protect the sponsor (you) and the country.
Now, having said all that, if you send everything they require & have an honest legitimate relationship then you really have nothing to worry about & should try not to stress over things that are out of your control.
I know it isn't easy when you are excited & want to be together but it looks like you have a great MP that really cares & took the time to get some good information for you.
Use that as an advantage & be happy that you know exactly what they want & what concerns they have with your file.
Send them anything you have to put those concerns to rest & then sit back & hope for the best.
Making yourself stressed out & upset won't change anything so try to think about the last time you saw your husband & then daydream & look forward to the next time.
Counting the days in smaller blocks of time usally makes the time go faster
Also patiently waiting,
Sangria
