Subject: Spousal Time Line
  On a couple different posts, I have been asked about my time line. Here is a lil bit about my process......




My husband and I met over the internet. We physically met for the first time on Nov 13, 2004. During the time dating we maintained contact once a month. On Feb 26, 2005 we were married. After wedding, we continued to see each other every month, taking turns visiting each others home countries, even during the application process.

We did not use any lawyer or consultant for my application. We just made sure that every question on the application we had answered , we had some form of evidence for ( be it pictures, emails, phone bills, copies of receipts from when we were together, joint bank statements, copies of cards we received from our wedding, emails from family, etc ) We also had our parents write up a letter proving we were a genuine couple. My husband and I also wrote up a letter individually explaining our relationship. As we prepared my application, the main thing we did when answering a question, put ourselves on the opposite side. Did we fully explain in detail to make sure there was no doubt of the validity of the answer.

Best of luck to you =)

Here is my timeline broken down :
