meu amigo está tendo problemas para obter um visto de turista para sua esposa. Ambos residem na China. Ele é um cidadão canadense e ela é uma cidadã chinesa.
Aqui está a mensagem dele para qualquer pessoa capaz de ajudar entre aspas.
Situation: - I am a Canadian citizen working and living in China - I have a wife who is Chinese - We have property, savings in China, with the intention to stay in China
What we want: - to obtain a tourist VISA for my wife so we can visit Canada where my parents live, together
Problem: We have applied for a tourist visa 3 times within the last three years, about a year apart, but have gotten rejections for all three attempts.
The last application's rejection notes from ATIP ONLY noted down Family and Financial ties to Canada seemed stronger than home country and travel purpose seemed unclear - no other financial, travel experiences, etc. reasons.
I feel that it is because of my Canadian Citizen status that is making the VO think she will overstay, but if I were not Canadian, with my parents there, she would have no reasons to visit Canada in the first place.
My question is:
What or how should I apply next time to address this? I feel that this reason is quite subjective. And we wrote a clear letter stating that we plan to live in China, and our purpose is to visit for about a week with dates specified.
on our second application, we didn't go too in depth about my plans in China; so when they said family ties, it was understandable, but the last one, we provided so much showing my intentions of staying in China and that we will only go back to visit - we have the spousal sponsorship route, so why would we do something illegal?
We are not considering sponsorship at this moment because we fear that if we get the green card and let it expire (not go back or stay in Canada), they might not give us another pass when we really do want to go back.
This is my first time on the forum, so if I made any mistakes, please forgive me. I am truly at blank with this problem because I have contacted VISA agencies and they don't really know, and getting a lawyer is too expensive without a clear go ahead.
